Promising review: “normal skin, sensitive skin, dry skin, flaky skin, cracked heels and hands – it’s all good. This one is always on my nightstand and bathroom during the transitioning months and winter months as it’s the only moisturizer I need to keep dryness at bay. And since it’s fragrance free, it’s good for kids too. I know it’s body lotion, but it’s really great for the face too. I usually it especially at part of my night time as the last step and it keeps my skin soft until the next morning.” — SV

We’ve written about Differin gel a lot. According to Dr. Ariel Ostad, a cosmetic surgeon based in New York City, adapalene is a prescription-strength retinoid that you can get over the counter. While many adapalene-based products are marketed as acne treatments, Ostad said that they can also be used to help promote collagen production, promoting plumper, more youthful skin and fewer fine lines.
Differin is probably the best-known OTC adapalene-based product. The brand says it’s a good all-over face treatment, suitable for everyday use and even sensitive skin types. (Your daily reminder: Use face sunscreen if you’re ever using retinols.) HuffPost readers love it too — it’s a huge seller with our audience. While Differin isn’t a Cetaphil product, it’s still is included in the brand’s $5 off $25 deal, so add it to your cart to claim the auto-discount!
Promising Amazon review: “I suffered from acne from my teens to adult. My dermatologist recommended [this]! It really cleared and smoothed my skin! Just a little on my face every other night worked, and I believe it helps with early signs of wrinkles. I was developing small lines on my forehead and now they’re gone!! Make sure you moisturize too.” — E.T. Lopez
