Differin Information:
Differin (generic name: Adapalene) is a topical drug which is prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It is used in more extreme acne cases, and is usually only prescribed if other medications have failed. Adapalene is a type of vitamin A, and it works by helping the skin to renew itself more easily. Acne occurs when the pores in the skin become clogged with natural oils, but is also sometimes caused by a hormone imbalance which is responsible for causing the oil glands to produce too much oil. Differin reduces the amount of oil being produced by helping the skin to renew itself more quickly and therefore less clogging occurs. Acne can be an embarrassing and socially debilitating skin problem, and many people who suffer from it become nervous and depressed. Differin helps to clear up the acne within a few weeks, which can help the patient to regain confidence. The active ingredient, Vitamin A, is found in many foods naturally.
