"this stuff is awesome.  admittedly it itched like fire for three days until i slacked off and used a good moisturizing cream.  but my face is clear for the first time in years.  i recommend carmex to heal the dry flakes and aveeno after that.  if you have another breakout, go back to differin.  i can&#039;t recommend this stuff enough.  it&#039;s worth it to itch and burn for a day or two; it&#039;s working.  just deal with it.  thank you, makers of differin!!!  screw makeup.  i&#039;m free."
