Is there an over-the-counter equivelant to Retin-A Micro .04%?

April 20, 2015
Asked By:Austintransplant in Austin, TX

I currently use Retin-A Micro, but it's very pricey and not covered by prescription drug insurance. I would like to substitute what I am using with an over-the-counter product, but want to maintain the same or a similar level of effectiveness. I know that I can get a 1% Retinol product. How does this compare to the .04% Retin-A I am currently using? Thank you!
