Some people are prone to acne (acne). Acne is a disease of the sebaceous glands. Most often, this disease manifests itself in the form of red inflamed acne, which can often cause pain, or in the form of completely painless non-inflammatory black spots. Although this disease does not have any effect on the general state of human health, it nevertheless often causes deep emotional feelings. This is especially true for young girls and boys. That is why acne requires a thorough and lengthy treatment.
In order to correctly determine what and how to treat acne, it is necessary to seem to a dermatologist. He will prescribe all the necessary tools that destroy comedones and prevent their further appearance, aimed at reducing the formation of sebum, reducing inflammation. Recently, dermatologists have often prescribed Differin. Reviews usually characterize this drug as a highly effective drug that quickly copes with the disease.
The doctor can also prescribe various cleansers, cosmetic cleansing, physiotherapy, massage with liquid nitrogen. However, all these methods will serve only as an addition to the drug "Differin". Reviews of many people indicate that this drug plays the main role in the treatment. Let's try to figure out what it is all about.
"Differin" is one of the representatives of dermatological medicines. Its main active ingredient is adaptal. It belongs to a new generation of retinoids and has anti-comedogenic, comedonolytic, sebostatic and anti-inflammatory effects. The main mechanism of action of this drug is the selective binding of epidermal cells to nuclear receptors. This mechanism normalizes the process of creation and reduces the prerequisites for the formation of micro comedones.
Reading reviews about Differin, one can repeatedly observe statements about its pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. It really is. Through repeated medical experiments, it was proved that the anti-inflammatory activity of the active substance - adapalene in terms of action can be compared with indomethacin and betamethasone.
Differin is available in the form of a gel or cream. "Differin" cream reviews of people characterize as a milder remedy. It is recommended for people who have dry or just very sensitive skin. Since Differin is a highly active drug, it is used only once a day. It is necessary to apply the drug the night before going to bed. In this case, the affected areas of the skin where the cream or gel will be applied should be cleaned and dried. By studying the reviews for the Differin gel, you can find out that this product is very economical, that is, you need to apply it in a small even layer (just one size of a pea-sized gel is enough).
Depending on the severity of acne, other drugs may be prescribed for Differin. The combination of "Differin" with antibiotics of internal and external use is very effective. It should be borne in mind that if the doctor has prescribed additional treatment for you with external agents, then they should be applied either in the morning or several hours before applying Differin.
People who are treated for acne may be very worried about the question, after what time does Differin begin to act? The feedback of those to whom this drug has already helped indicates that the therapeutic effect can be seen after the fourth week of therapy, and a more persistent improvement after 3 months from the start of treatment.
