How does differin (adapalene) work on existing blackheads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild peeling: Differin (adapalene) causes very mild peeling of the top layer of skin, opening the top layers around the plugged pores and allowing them to unclog. It works best when accompanied by good skin care--careful and regular washing, not scrubbing.
