Ingredients
Differin Gel contains 0.1% Adapalene which is a retinoid. Studies show that adapalene is a great choice for acne treatment because it has a high efficacy and low side effects.
Differin removes the dead cells on the surface of the skin. By exfoliating the skin, it unclogs the pores which treats acne and prevents new breakouts. Exfoliation also increases the rate of fading of dark spots from acne and other causes. Adapalene also has anti-inflammatory properties which increase its usefulness in the tretment of acne since inflammation is one of the causes of acne.

Precautions
Do not used Differin Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as other retinoids have been shown to cause birth defects. There is no evidence that Differin Gel causes brith defects when applied to the skin however it is best to avoid it if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not use Differin Gel on skin that is damaged by cuts, eczema and sunburn.
Do not use it if you are allergic to adapalene.
Do not use it if you are less than 12 years of age.
When using Differin Gel reduce exposure to the sun and always wear sunscreen.
Duing the first weeks of use, the acne may appear to get worse before it gets better. Do not stop using the Differin Gel except if you develop severe irritation with itchiness, dryness and a burning sensation.

Price
The price of Differin Gel is Ksh 3900 for the 15g tube. The price of this 0.1% adapalene gel in Kenya is quite reasonable when it is taken into consideration that the 15g tube is enough for 30 days of acne treatment.
My Experience with Differin Gel Review in Nairobi Kenya
I recommend Differin Gel for persons with acne that has not responded well to other over-the-counter acne treatment products because it contains adapalene gel which is a very effective for acne treatment for mmild to moderate acne that it was previously only available by prescription.

Differin Gel is also effective for reducing dark spots on the skin from aging, acne and other causes of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to its exfoliating properties.

Differin Gel can also be used as anti-aging treatment since it is a retinoid and retinoids boost collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

I also like Differin Gel because it can be used by all skin types. It is oil free which makes it perfect for persons with oily, acne-prone skin. It is also fragrance free which makes it a good choice for persons with sensitive skin.
It is important to note that it takes 3 months to see the full effects of using Differin Gel.
