MORNING REGIME
Step 1: Facewash
Cleansing helps remove excess oil, dust, dirt, and pollutants from your skin, preventing clogged pores that can lead to breakouts. Your skin should feel refreshed, not dry or tight, after cleansing. Cleanse your face up to three times a day following the technique shown in this video for optimal results.
Which brand? Choose from the following options based on your skin type:
- Differin Acne Face Wash with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide for non-sensitive oily skin still breaking out.
- Differin Face Scrub Daily Brightening Exfoliator for normal skin type with tanning.
- Differin Facial Cleanser for sensitive dry to normal skin type, recommended if your skin gets over dry after using adaplene gel.
Step 2: Moisturiser
A moisturizer may only be needed if your skin feels dry after using other products in your routine. Apply a thin layer, starting with the U-zone and ending with the T-zone.

Step 3: Morning Treatment Product
Use a treatment product with ingredients like Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, or Azelaic Acid to help fade post-acne brown marks. Apply small dots across the face and massage gently. Avoid the area under your eyes.
Which brand? Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum on the entire face. It has 4 % Niacinamide that helps reduce red scars due to its anti-inflammatory action and prevents new acne and brown spots.
Step 4 : Acne scar spot treatment
Use Differin Acne Scar Gel as a spot treatment on areas red scars to fade redness. This is also plays pivotal role in preventing permanent depressed scars. If you have fresh depressed acne scars, then this gel might come handy. However, if your scars are older than 3 months, then your would need microneedling or LASERS as detailed in this article, 6 Type of acne scars and their treatment
Step 4: Sunscreen
Why? Choose a lightweight sunscreen in gel or fluid form that won’t clog your pores, ensuring proper protection without causing breakouts.
How? Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside. Use about two fingertip-sized amounts and place large dots across your face. Gently massage it in to spread evenly. Let it absorb fully before applying makeup. Remember to reapply every 3 hours. Avoid heavy makeup or excessive layering of products; opt for lightweight makeup over the sunscreen.
Which brand? Differin Oil Absorbing Moisturizer with SPF 30
AFTERNOON REGIME
Wash your face in the afternoon if your skin feels oily. Suppose you can’t wash your face at the workplace, then wipe your face with cotton dipped in micellar water to remove excess oils and give an instant matt look. Re-apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out in the sun.
NIGHT REGIME
Remove makeup with micellar water and wash your face folowed by moisturiser if neeeded as discused in morning routine.
Step 4 Night Treatment Product
At night, use Adapalene for stubborn acne, such as red or pus-filled pimples, numerous blackheads, whiteheads, or frequent breakouts. It is prescription-strength retinoid, to help prevent acne by increasing cell turnover and keeping pores clear.
Apply Differin acne treatment gel to reduce oil secretion, open pores, and acne. If your skin reacts to adaplene then, follow the steps list below:
- Moisturize Sensitive Areas: Before applying adapalene gel, apply Differin Night moisturizing cream to the entire face if your skin is dry or sensitive.
- Apply Adapalene: Apply adapalene gel specifically to the areas affected by acne.
- Monitor Skin Reaction: If your skin tolerates it well without any adverse reactions, you can gradually increase the application. Apply adapalene to the entire face the next night.
- Adjust Frequency: If your skin reacts (becomes dry, red, or irritated), reduce the frequency of adapalene application. Start applying it on alternate nights or even less frequently based on your skin’s tolerance.
- Additional Moisturization: For areas that are particularly dry or reactive, you can apply 2-3 layers of moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Step 5: Acne scar spot treatment
After applying retinol, use Differin Acne Scar Gel as a spot treatment on areas red scars to fade redness.
WEEKLY REGIME
Avoid harsh scrubs or peels. Instead, use COSRX Pink Pore Clarifying Charcoal Mask twice a week to soothe your skin and promote the healing of red scars.
