Common Side Effects:
Rare Side Effects:
Serious side effects are very rare, and if experienced, urgent medical attention may be necessary. Additionally, if a reaction suggesting sensitivity or severe irritation occurs, the use of the cream should be discontinued.
Patients should also consult a healthcare provider if they are concerned about any side effects or if there is no improvement in acne after three months of daily use.
Differin Cream should not be administered to individuals who are hypersensitive to adapalene or any of the components in the cream vehicle.
Certain cutaneous signs and symptoms of treatment such as erythema, dryness, scaling, burning, or pruritus may be experienced with the use of Differin Cream. These are most likely to occur during the first two to four weeks of treatment, are mostly mild to moderate in intensity, and usually lessen with continued use of the medication. Depending upon the severity of these side effects, patients should be instructed to reduce the frequency of application or discontinue use.
As Differin Cream has the potential to produce local irritation in some patients, concomitant use of other potentially irritating topical products (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, and products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices or lime rind) should be approached with caution. Particular caution should be exercised in using preparations containing sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid in combination with Differin Cream.
If a reaction suggesting sensitivity or severe irritation occurs, the use of the Differin Cream should be discontinued. If the degree of local irritation warrants, patients should be directed to use the medication less frequently, to discontinue use temporarily until symptoms subside, or to discontinue use altogether.
The information provided is a summary of the warnings and precautions for Differin Cream. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and specific instructions tailored to your individual needs and medical history.
