Has anyone had results from differin gel? My derm. Just put me back on it.. I had been on it years ago with no results. So to my dismay, she's got me back on the crap for another try & i'm not very optimistic about it.

I'm also on minocycline and using this brevoxyl wash.

I Didnt Like That!
I was using the differen gel too! I thought it was crap! Didn't work for me either... Maybe you have tried retin a?? Not micro.. But the regular retin a gel? Ask your derm for that.. And if your acne is pretty bad (like mine was) ask for the stronger dose (although ur doc may not give it to u right away... Be persistant!) 0.01. That stuff is strong and will dry out pimples quick! Although it may make u break out when you first use it... Just stick to it!
