A member asked:
Is it true that retin-a gel can be a little more stronger than the retin-a cream, therefore be a little more effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gel is stronger than cream, as is ointment. The progression from weakest to strongest is cream, ointment, gel. Be aware that you may also have more irritation/side effects with stronger method. Make sure to use sunscreen daily!
