Differin Cream information
The cream is designed for people who have acne. To start using Differin Cream, first visit a dermatologist so they can recommend it for treatment of your pimples.
How To Use
The best way to use Differin Cream is to follow your doctor’s instructions. Make sure you use it topically rather than swallowing it. If you accidentally place it in your mouth, eyes or nose, clean immediately with clean water. If your skin is sunburned or has eczema, scrapes or cuts, don’t treat it with Differin Cream. If it’s safe to use on your skin, wash your hands first. Next, clean the areas of your face you wish to treat and pat them dry. Squeeze out a thin film of the medication and put it on the cleaned skin. Rub gently until all of it penetrates into the skin. Wash your hands after use. If you forget to apply the medication, use it as soon as you can recall. If you are about to use the next-scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule. Never use two doses at once.
Side Effects
Differin Cream can cause the following common side effects:
- Skin irritation
- Skin redness
- Skin dryness

It is also possible to develop severe side effects after using adapalene cream. If you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction or another adverse side effect, call the doctor at once.
Precautions
Prior to using Differin Cream for the first time, you should consult a doctor. Let them know that you have:
- An allergy to Adapalene or another part of Differin cream
- An allergy to any other medicine that is related to this one, food or chemicals
- Other drugs you are taking whether they are prescribed or non-prescribed
- Have a child who is below 12 years and has a skin condition. They cannot use Differin Cream unless the doctor allows it
- A pregnancy or a plan to have a baby soon as it’s not clear whether the cream can harm a fetus
