Is Generic Tretinoin As Effective and the Same Formula As Name Brand Retin-A?

Our office utilizes retinoid creams for facial rejuvenation. Retinoid Repair is an excellent combination retinoid regimen that can improve wrinkles and address facial aging. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Generally speaking, generics are almost identical to the brand name. That said, there are potential minor differences, and if budget or insurance coverage is not an issue, I always prefer the branded product which has more rigorous testing and experience behind it.

Brands and generic should have similar efficacy based on strict federal requlations.  Some patients prefer different vehicles such as using a cream instead of a gel.
