What is diffference between of retinol and retinoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retinol vs Retinoids: Retinol is Vitamin A. Compounds/molecules that have structural similarities to Vitamin A/retinol and/or functional similarities are termed "retinoids." The latter includes such topical medications tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) and adapalene, as well as systemic medications such as isotretinoin (13-cis retinoic acid) and tazarotene.
