A member asked:
Which is the stronger concentration of renova (tretinoin) skin cream..0.02 % or 0.05 %?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
.05% > 0.02%: 0.05% is stronger than 0.02%. I have not previously used 0.02% but given the choice, the 0.05% formulation will be stronger. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D., f.A.C.S. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
