Guide to Differin Gel and Cream

Adapalene, the active ingredient in Differin, belongs to a class of medications known as retinoids. Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A and are widely used in skincare products for their ability to promote skin cell turnover and prevent clogged pores. By targeting acne at its root cause, adapalene helps to improve skin texture and prevent future breakouts.

Gel vs. Cream: The Differences

One of the main differences between Differin gel and cream is the consistency. The gel is lightweight and non-greasy, making it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. On the other hand, the cream has a richer texture and is more moisturising, making it ideal for those with dry or sensitive skin.

The gel formulation is also typically preferred for daily use, as it absorbs quickly without leaving a residue. The cream, on the other hand, may be more suitable for those with dry or sensitive skin who require additional hydration.

When choosing between the gel and cream formulations of Differin, it's important to consider your skin type and individual needs. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, the gel may be a better option for you. However, if you have dry or sensitive skin, the cream could provide the extra moisture and nourishment your skin craves.
