I thought tretinoin was not available in pharmacies here as I asked once and they told me they only have differin

Tonight while looking for medecine I found a tube of tretinoin 0.05%

life fuel, gonna ditch differin and apply tretinoin 3 times/week, hopefully will get back some collagen and get rid of some pimples of my face caused by differin

differin works better for acne

I don't have acne, just some random pimples from time to time on my cheeks

i am in mid 20s, so need to protect collagen

@Imperative Differin less irritating than retin-a and the focus of differin is treating acne

The focus of retin-a is many things like anti-aging and acne

dont go too fast on the tretinoin btw. Slowly increase the number of days you apply

My doctor recommended applying it everyday before bed. Sun exposure while using tret can be harmful so use sunscreen.

Low inhib if you don't consult a doc ngl
