A member asked:
I've used atralin on my face for years with great cosmetic results. can you suggest a retinoid for the body to help with smooth minimal sun damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Differin: Atralin is an expensive brand of tretinoin, no better than a less expensive generic. Now you can get OTC Differin [adapalin] for $12. It is more effective and less irritating than tretinoin. You can get it in larger size for higher price.
