Differin Gel Acne Treatment with Adapalene ($12, originally $15)

If you have stubborn acne, try Differin Gel. The powerful over-the-counter retinoid acne treatment targets clogged pores and inflammation to combat breakouts. Our beauty section lead uses it; read her Differin Gel Acne Treatment with Adapalene review for more details.

Editor Quote: "The Differin Adapalene Gel is very different from the prescription topical I was given. It's much gentler, for starters. While I still went through an adjustment period as my skin got used to the powerful vitamin A derivative — which usually causes some purging, dryness, flakiness, or slight redness — it was much more tolerable for me. The gel texture is very lightweight, and a little bit (about a pea size) is easily blended onto my entire face." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead
