What's wrong with these Differin products?
The case alleges the BPO (benzoyl peroxide) products can degrade and form benzene above acceptable limits when stored at high temperatures, which the company should have disclosed.
The non-BPO Differin gel (adapalene) — is that included?
No. The pure adapalene gel (the most popular Differin product) is not in this settlement — only the BPO formulations.
