Global Patient Feedback for Adapalene

Differin worked great for my acne but I suffered severe eyelid dermitits. I woke one morning with swollen, red itchy eyes. Although the drs didn't think differin was the cause at first, when I stopped and later started using it again I suffered another episode of severe red, itchy, scaly and swollen eye lids.

I currently have samples for Differin gel and Differin cream from my doctor. Has anyone had a better result from one or the other?
