What is the difference between Tretinoin Cream vs Tretinoin Gel

Simply, tretinoin cream is more moisturizing and usually less irritating. It's better for dry or sensitive skin, while tretinoin gel is lighter, dries faster, and can feel more drying/irritating, and is often better for oily skin.

Both contain tretinoin and work similarly for acne and skin texture, but are not the exact same, like some iqlets in the replies seem to think. The main difference is the formulation and how your skin tolerates it.
