A member asked:

How long before laser treatment for hyperpigmentation would i need to stop using differin gel 0.1% adapalene and when would i be able to continue use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: on the nature, extent and duration of the hyperpigmentation.. I suggest letting your skin specialist determine when to begin Diferin.
