DOES DIFFERIN WORK FOR MY KIND OF ACNE?

Does differin work for my kind of acne? My derm. recommended it. I have the .1%, and i have some blackheads on my chin and nose, as well as whiteheads and "skin toned" pimples (i forgot what they are called) on my for head and cheeks, but overall, my acne isn't severe. There is sometimes red pimples, but not many. I was just wondering (FROM THOSE WHO USED IT) if it really works! THANKS!

I just recently switched to the Aveeno moisturizer from the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion because Aveeno is oil-free and Clinique seemed to clog my pores.
