retinol VS retinoic acid

[Agus_307.]

what do yall say is better for improving my skin
i found a retinol serum and a retinoic acid 0,1% cream. the serum is cheaper but if the cream is more effective its worth it.
who happen to know about this pls inform me.
thanks

Retinol must be converted in the skin to retinoic acid (tretinoin) to activate. If you have any sign of acne, it's better to just use retinoic acid. If you don't have acne at all, then retinol is sufficient

Like if it was helpful and mark this post as solution (it's the ️ on my right)
