I love that you include the time stamps in the description! Thank you!!

Treating acne is not about getting different products it’s actually to do with sticking with one product and educating yourself about it.
Thanks 😊

I have mild, mostly hormonal acne and stared using differen about 2 weeks ago. I use a pea sized amount every other day sandwiched between two layers of lotion. Obviously it hasn't affected my acne yet, but my skin texture looks so nice lately! I was almost late to work this morning because I was so distracted by my face in the mirror 😂

i started differin when i was 14 for acne, i’m 22 now and i still remember how awful the first stages of using differin were. My whole face felt tight and dehydrated for a few months. Felt like hell, but eventually got much better. I hardly ever get pimples now! :)

Good job on wearing more colors in your videos! New Years resolution still going strong. This shade of pink looks lovely on you

You're like my skin fairy god mother. I started breaking out really bad at 24 (I'm 38 now) and thought I was going to have crap skin for the rest of my life. I've learned so much from you. Thank you so much!

[katiecrotty]

Thank you!! I appreciate you so much! Love watching skin care videos and all creators on YouTube are great but you truly make understanding skin care so easy and share about products that are so accessible to so many people! Sometimes when I watch other creators I feel stressed and insecure because I’m almost 30 and should be getting Botox and fillers soon but as soon as I watch your videos I chill out because sometimes that’s just not realistic or needed. So, thank you again!

I’ve been using Adapalene gel for around 2 months now and I’m so happy I stuck with it through the purge phase. It was frustrating and made me want to quit it a few times. I followed all of your tips and they helped so much! I still apply over moisturizer and use every 3 nights.

Definitely one of the better youtube videos i've seen from a medical professional. Simple, to the point, easy to move around the video (you even talk about that) thank you.

[joannehamilton]

So glad I found this video! Picked up Differin for my daughter today, along with ceraVe moisturizers and cleanser. Just shared this with her.

[mslovelifetoday]

Love your videos!! 🤩 So practical and educational for everyone but especially for those of us with sensitive, problematic skin who can’t go to a dermatologist. I’ve learned so much from you and my skin is much improved!! So, thank you!! 🤗

[valeriedavis]

I'm so glad you started with not using it as a spot treatment. You don't know how many reviews I have seen on Ultas website with people saying they love using it that way.

[Sharpidiot]

Dr. Dray, I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. I appreciate you.

[meiselle]

This is so super helpful, especially with the breakdown of the video ‘chapters’. It’s my go-to video to recap on the must-knows of using adapalene!

[isthatjackson]

I will never stop using differin. It also comes in a pump bottle dispenser now. Feels so nice.

[scarlettb]

I’ve been using this for a year and totally forgot what were the “rules” I’ve been doing all of these! Going to revise my routine and use it properly. Thanks for another helpful video 👌🏽

[desertdeb]

I can't believe I've been using differen incorrectly the whole time! Thank you

[pvjgchl]

Thank you soooo much for this information! I was prescribed with differin, but summer is coming and I was afraid to use it. You made it so clear that using it in summer is okay. Thank you!!!

[Abbie_doku]

Hiii Dr. Dray you've literally saved my life my skin that was filled w acne has improved drastically!! I love thanks❤❤❤❤❤
