whats better to use differin gel or creme to get rid of scars? my doctor gave me the option to pick which one to use. any suggestions? and how long did it take to go away and how much did u use it? or how good is finacea to use?
ps- my skin is really smooth. and i barely have any pimples anymore. so its just really the scars that ive had since november that im trying to get rid of so if you tried anything and you have skin like mine or the same issue. pleaaaase tell me what you did!
zack replied: "i had really bad acne but i was prescribed differin cream 0.1% 3 months ago. my acne is almost gone but i still have red "spots" also know as the scarring of the acne. so i went to the doctors today and she gave me differin GEL and deoxycline.
so to answer ur question, im not really sure. i would say either one, just keep on using it. they will go away eventually.
if i had to pick, i would suggest the GEL only because its stronger. but if u want ur scarring to go away i suggest going to the doctors and requesting deoxycline. They r pills that fade awat acne scars and kill bacteria.
hope this helps!
good luck"
Can I use an astringent and Differin together? I've been prescribed Differin 0.3 and I got an astringent tonight and I was wondering if I can use them together. I only apply the Differin at night. Is the Clean&Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent too much for my face? Should I use the astringent in the morning and Differin at night? Help? =) Thanks and God bless y'all! =b

The clean and clear doesn't dry too much, not like the Neutrogena one does. Personally, I hate Differin because it dried my skin and never helped my acne. I took to using it only as a spot treatment to dry an existing pimple. Whatever you do it's still important to use some kind of moisturizer. I don't know if they still have it but clean and clear used to make an oil controlling lotion that was great."
