Both remedies are equally effective against acne and acne. To say which one is better is impossible, since both have their own characteristics and nuances.
If the skin is oily and prone to the appearance of sebaceous shine, it is recommended to choose Baziron AC, as it regulates the sebaceous glands and fights with excessive fat. Also, this tool has a disinfecting effect and fights against microbes, which together with sebum, clog pores and cause acne.
If inflammation constantly occurs on the face, but there is no excessive fat content, Differin is more suitable. Thanks to the anti-inflammatory effect, it can significantly reduce inflammation in 1 night and make the pimple less noticeable. According to those who used this cream, sometimes there was no trace of a pimple in just 1 night.
If you want to choose a comprehensive treatment, then it is better to purchase the entire line of Baziron products to provide maximum skin care. It is not recommended to combine them with other skin care and treatment products.
Baziron AC can be applied to the face in the morning and evening, and Differin – only before bedtime, that is, in the evening or at night. Therefore, if some morning remedy is already used, it is better to choose Differin, since Baziron, in contact with other drugs, can give an undesirable reaction.
It is not recommended to use this or that drug without consulting a doctor. Self-medication can lead to an even greater spread of acne and other complications.
