Amazon Prime Day 2022 is finally here and there are so many skincare and beauty deals you just don't want to miss. Among the incredible deals you'll find during Amazon's annual sale, reviewers say, is a dermatologist-approved acne treatment that gently treats stubborn breakouts without irritating even the most sensitive skin types. Differin's Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment, which helps treat and prevent acne while minimizing hyperpigmentation and dark spots left by previous blemishes, is currently discounted by 30 percent.
ICYDK, this lightweight gel treatment, was the first FDA-approved retinoid for the treatment of acne (a derivative of vitamin A) available over the counter, according to Dr. It works by gently exfoliating skin and unclogging pores while stimulating surface collagen production—which in turn prevents fine lines, Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, MD, founder of Mudgil Dermatology in New York, previously told Shape. This mild peel helps promote skin cell turnover, which helps prevent new acne from forming. Plus, it's safe enough to use all over the face, not just as a spot treatment, Azadeh Shirazi, MD, FAAD, a dermatologist at La Jolla Dermatology and Laser Center in California, previously told Shape.
The ingredient behind all the rave reviews from dermatologists and shoppers is adapalene, an acne-busting topical retinoid that goes toe-to-toe with prescription products at a fraction of the price. (Related: Here's Why TikTok's "Retinol Sandwich" Application Method May Not Work for You)

The Differin gel is also a total game-changer in reducing oil production—think: those pesky oil glands and blackheads that seem to constantly pop up—Marisa Garshick, MD, a dermatologist at Medical Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery in New York, previously told Shape. The gel's collagen-boosting benefits not only leave you with clear, renewed skin, but also help smooth the appearance of existing wrinkles. According to dermatologists, it has earned a place among the best anti-aging night creams. (Related: The 5-Minute Nighttime Skincare Routine A Top Dermatologist Swears By)
Thousands of Amazon shoppers — more than 46,000 people — have given this budget-friendly purchase a five-star rating. And reviewers with all skin types (including those with sensitive skin, cystic acne, and body breakouts) seem to love it. "Differin has worked wonders for my hormonal acne that I developed in my thirties," wrote one reviewer, who added that patience is key since it can take a few weeks to see results.
If you have sensitive or highly reactive skin, Oregon-based dermatologist Laurel Geraghty, MD, recommends applying Differin's acne treatment gel every other night before gradually trying it every night to avoid inflammation, she previously told Shape. And with 30 percent off for Prime Day, there's no better time to try it out. But hurry up, this discount won't last long!
