RETIN-A
1 - 10 of 10 Posts
From what I've read, both are essentially the same. They both use the same ingredient Tretinoin. The only difference with the micro is that the ingredients are put into microspheres which release the Tretinoin slowly over time. This is supposed to keep the skin from getting irritated. So I guess to answer your question, regular Retin-A is probbaly faster, but also has a bigger chance of causing skin irritation.
oh btw, Retinol is not the same thing is Retin. Retinol is just a fancy name for regular Vitamin A. Retin is a prescription drug called Tretinoin, which is also a form of Vitamin A, but alot more potent.

Why is Retinol (Vitamin A) good for your skin?
When it comes to skin care, Retinol as a molecule is very small and capable of penetrating the skin's outer layer and regenerating the deeper layers that contain collagen and elastin. When it penetrates the skin, it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen resulting is smoother and more elastic skin. Importance of Retinol has been long known about in a form of homemade facial masks. Carrot is an excellent source of Retinol.
A medium size carrot has 1015 mg RAE of Vitamin A (Retinol) in it. It is also a good source of Coenzyme Q 10 which helps reduce the visibility of crow's feet.
