Differin (adapalene) : First stop the differin (adapalene) cream until the redness resolves. Hydrocortisone 1% cream otc twice daily for a few days should help. A gentle moisturizer and cleanser such as cereve or cetaphil is recommended . Remember to only use a tiny amount of differin (adapalene) and restart every other or every third night to reduce irritation and peeling.
