Retin A micro
Retin A micro is as effective than other retin A products. This is because the active ingredient, tretinoin, concentration for concentration, is the same in all the products. The vehicle and delivery is the difference.

Retin-a micro for wrinkles
In brief, yes. Tretinoin is the active ingredient in retin-a micro and other retin-a products. Because the retin-a in the micro product is stabilized and potentially less drying because of the moisturizing base, it may even be more effective than other retin-a products.
