Similar but tret is much more effective

It’s not hard to get a prescription for trentinoin as it has little to no potential for abuse, so there’s no risk for a doctor to prescribe it. Just go to your GP, tell them you get occasional acne/zits and say you want trentinoin and theyll prescribe it

I used adapalene 0.1% for 7 months. Very little difference in my skin.

3 weeks on tret now and my skin has never been better. Tret is indeed a wonder-drug

They are both retinOIDS but differin gel is much weaker. It’s OTC in USA but I think a rx in Europe
