Proactiv MD and Differin are both acne treatment products, but they differ in their active ingredients and methods of application.
Proactiv MD is a three-step system that includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Its active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which helps to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. It is applied to the skin twice a day.
Differin, on the other hand, is a topical cream or gel that contains the active ingredient adapalene. Adapalene is a retinoid, which helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. It is applied to the skin once a day.
Both Proactiv MD and Differin can be effective in treating acne, but they may work better for different types of acne and skin types. Proactiv MD may be more suitable for people with oily or combination skin, while Differin may be more suitable for people with dry or sensitive skin. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to determine the best treatment for your individual needs.
