RETINOIDS FOR TREATING ACNE...

Retinoid for Acne Chico, Ca    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

RETINOIDS...
Used at different percentages to achieve varying results, prescription retinoic acid can be prescribed at percentages of 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1.

Retinoic acid is approved by the FDA for treating acne, aging skin and hyperpigmentation-related conditions. Its effectiveness is due in part, to it being the biologically active derivative of vitamin A. Despite its effectiveness, sensitive or inflamed-skinned patients will most likely experience increased irritation and discomfort when using prescription retinoids.

Pure retinol, on the other hand, is converted to retinoic acid once in the skin. Pure retinol offers similar results without the discomfort and irritation often experienced with prescription retinoids.  While the results of pure retinol are less than those of prescription strength, the results are comparable. In clinical trials, 0.5% pure retinol provided "dramatic, visible results for patients."
