Subject: acne differin question

Question
i am now 37 years old and have had acne mostly whiteheads for about 12 years. i first read on the internet that retin a then diiferin are used for treating whiteheads. i have used first the retin a with some success then after used the differin taking totally separate by itself for now 3 months. while their was a bit more improvment on the differin the cost is way more thou. how can i get rid of the whiteheads further? perhaps take the differin twice a day or perhaps with another medication? i am also already taking a special acne soap so that is not somethinig that could be taking as well. thanking you in advance.

Answer
Both...differin and retin A work in similar way...Retin A has several concentrations and to me is more easy use them...you can change concentration on time...differin has only one concentration....is necessary to look...don't lost time...visit a dermatologis with this in mind
