User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product approved by fda
Answer:	It is but the FDA does warn against the use of certain otc topical acne treatments, Clean & Clear included, as there have been very rare occurrences of hypersensitivity reactions. However I've been using it for 4 years and I have never had a negative reaction.
Question:	Can it help with black/white heads
Answer:	I actually did not try myself so I don't know the answer to whitle/black heads. It does well on controling acne from redness and breaking. I use it for spot treatment on ones that's popped out.
Question:	Does this product dry clear and invisible so no one can tell i have it on
Answer:	Yes it's clear
Question:	I'm 60+ with "mature" (old) dry skin but also blackheads from sunscreen use. Have other elders tried this, will it dry up/wrinkle my skin even more
Answer:	This product contains Salicylic Acid, so by default it will involve some surface skin drying, this is just a drawback of the ingredient. If you are looking to address acne (blackhead, whitehead) without skin drying, you should try BumpKilla. It will do what you need without drying your skin. Good luck.

Salicylic Acid

If you are dealing with an acne breakouts, salicylic acid can be your best friend. Salicylic acid is a mild acid that works to exfoliate the skin to encourage dead skin cells to shed so they don't build up and clog pores. Using salicylic acid can help treat the early signs of breakouts: whiteheads, blackheads, and oily skin.

Myth: Popping a Pimple Will Help It Go Away Faster

Popping pimples can have serious consequences. When you squeeze a pimple, the infection can be pushed even deeper into your skin, causing the pimple to get redder, or even bigger, increasing your risk of acne scarring. It is better to leave your blemish untouched and let it disappear on its own than pop it. Or try treating it with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid spot treatment, like Clean & Clear advantage Acne Spot Treatment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this unclog pores and reduce pore size
Answer:	If I knew the dimensions of that phone I would be glad to help you.
Question:	What is the difference between this and the Alba oil control lotion
Answer:	Yes. My Note8 fits, but it's a *tight* fit. There's less than a 1/4" between the top of the phone and the top of the bag. I have to push the phone down into the bottom of the bag to get it to fit right. I've only had the bag a short while, and I expect that the canvas will stretch a little with time. Width-wise, there's about 3/4" extra space.
Question:	How are any of these product on people with oily skin? Did it work just as well? My skin is very oily and a little bit sensitive
Answer:	Gave as gift so don't have it to measure. For girl 5 feet 5 inches, strap over the shoulder, purse hung down to middle of hip.
Question:	Does this get rid of blackheads
Answer:	Not sure, what are the dimensions of a Galaxy Note 8?

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a guarentee
Answer:	Hi Maxx! While we do not offer a guarantee on this product as results may vary, we can say that in clinical studies, Differin Gel provided nearly a 60% average reduction in acne lesions after 12 weeks which continues to improve with further use. It is also the first multi‐benefit dermatologist recommended retinoid available without a prescription and the newest advancement and ingredient in the OTC acne category in over 30 years! Let us know what you experience with the product as we would love to hear your results!
Question:	While using this product is it okay to use face masks as well? such as aztec secret indian healing clay
Answer:	Normally I love the Aztec clay (I like to mix it with honey) but it dried out my skin while using the differin. My skin is always on the dry side though, so if your skin is oily it may not bother you. You could even skip the differin for the day just in case.
Question:	Can this be used for aging skin
Answer:	According to a dermatologist-Differin is a fantastic anti-aging product as it stimulates collagen production by cells in our dermis (the deeper layer of the skin),” "This is what helps with fine lines and overall skin thickness." ... It's also the same ingredient that helps improve skin discoloration, texture and tone. It can take anywhere from 3-12 months to see improvement, but I can tell you it helped me immensely. Lightened my dark brown spots and smoothed my fine lines. It took about 3 months of every day usage to see results
Question:	Should the package be saftey sealed
Answer:	Hi Kysha! Your product’s tube should definitely be sealed upon purchase. If it’s not, please reach out to [email protected] with the lot number (found on the bottom of the package), as well as the purchase location.

Differin Gel

Differin contains the first OTC Rx-strength acne-fighting retinoid. Retinoids play a crucial role in the treatment of acne by regulating skin cell turnover & reducing inflammation deep in the skin to clear & prevent pimples. What makes the retinoid in Differin (Adapalene) so cool is that it’s gentler on your skin, while still effective — that means you get the clearer skin you want without having to do things like completely avoid sunlight forever!

Beauty Favorite

In 2020 we won an Allure Best Of Beauty award, and in 2018 we won a Glamour Beauty Award. So we’re kind of a big deal.

Trust the process

This stuff isn’t like the other OTC products you’ve tried. There’s no true magic wand to get rid of a bad breakout, but Differin Gel renews skin from the inside out, resulting in clearer, smoother skin over time.

Before & after

When used every single day, Differin Gel can reduce up to 87% of acne in just 12 weeks (Cunliffe et al 1998, Galderma Laboratories). That’s about the time it would take to leisurely binge-watch your favorite old TV series.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product stay well on face
Answer:	Contact physicians formula by calling them from 8am to 4pm PST or check their website & go to FAQ's. They will know best. I use their products but have not even thought about gluten. Hope this helps a little.
Question:	Does this come in a lighter color than Fair 05 (a 2 or 3)? It still works, but no longer matches fair skin
Answer:	When I've used it before, it lasted just shy of a year with near-daily use. I've had my current one for eight months, and it is still working well. It is not uncommon for the tip to dry out when it is exposed to air for a while, but because of the brush tip, this is no problem, especially compared to felt-tip liners. I just flick the brush against a surface such as the inside of the cap a couple of times, and it goes back to working as it should.
Question:	Is this good for under eye circles
Answer:	Not sure about vegan-friendly ingredients, but it is cruelty-free!
Question:	Which is lighter in tone - 'fair' or 'light
Answer:	I have seen an increase in my lashes. This is the only eyeliner I was. It must be applied close to your lashes. I only put on top lid. I do believe my lashes have "hit" the max they will ever be.
