"i have mild acne and i was starting to get really frustrated with it, so i saw my doctor. he put me on differin and told me to use it on only the spots themselves and not on my whole face. i did this before bed. when i woke up the next day i was amazed to see that all my spots were flat and much less red than they had been the previous night. i would definitely recommend differin for people who have mild acne as well."
