Is Differin and retinoid creams safe for treating acne in children?

Doctor's Answer

This depends on what the age of the patient (your child) is.

Epiduo has been recently approved for the use in children age 9 and above by FDA, as such from the clinical perspective the use of Differin alone can be expected to be safe, albeit off-label.

Other options such as mild BHA and AHA can be considered as an acne- treatment. Do consult your doctor early though.
