When it comes to retinoids stronger is usually better, however stronger retinoids require prescription, the strongest thing there is over the counter is usually Adapalene 0.1%, there are other cosmetic options like retinal/retinaldehyde or retinol, but these are pretty weak and even overpriced sometimes.

Adapalene will likely do the job just fine, but if you want the best results, speak to a dermatologist, and you could get something stronger prescribed.

Be aware that when it comes to retinoids it is often best to start with low frequency of usage, 2-3x/week, and then increasing as tolerated. As your skin gets exposed to the retinoid you will experience initial redness, inflammation and skin peeling for up to 6 weeks (it's usually less, 3-4 weeks), but this is just the purging process. Purging gets better if you don't start daily usage of retinoid right away, but it's best if you work up to that frequency.

Use it only at night before you go to bed, and always, always, use sunscreen the next morning (or really always, you're never supposed to skip sunscreen)

In that case go for tretinoin or accutane

In that case go for tretinoin or accutane

accutane is way too agressive and has way too much collaterals, unfortunately

Yeah, if you do high doses of Accutane you may get mood swings and liver damage, but the solution is just to microdose it. Low doses of Accutane have milder effects, but cause less damage.

I mean, Isotretinoin itself isn't harmful, it's just improper usage.

However, if you're truly not trying to go that routine then Tretinoin is stronger than adapalene. Although, it is a little less stable and causes more irritation.

Accutane or tazarotene. If u want a weaker version use tretinoin
