if u want something more gentle and ur main concern is acne, go for different. if u want an overall stronger retinoid (which may also be more irritating), and ur main concern is anti aging, go for tretinoin.

btw i use tret because my skin can handle it and it’s so much cheaper than adapalene where im from

Recently tetrinoin has been my go to rather than differin cause I had some breakouts that were more than my usual, I find that my skin just likes it better but I still do use differin when I need a little less punch on my spot treatments 😊

dr dray has an amazing video on YouTube about this, just search for “differin vs tretinoin dr dray”
but basically if you have a lot of acne concerns and don’t want to spend the money on an in person or online derm might as well try adapalene! (I use curology it’s $20/month for my tret and unlimited messages to my derm)
but if you want to address things like pronounced skin texture, large pore appearance, skin elasticity & firmness, wrinkles, tretinoin is able to do more than adapalene. most derms prescribe tretinoin regardless.
hope this helps!
