(Retinol must be first converted by skin enzymes into the active ingredient of Retin A. Retinol is much weaker, however.) Also, a good alternative is Adapalene which is just as effective as Retin A. Adapalene is now OTC, too. All these creams are effective for treating wrinkles and sun damaged skin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
