The 0.05% cream is used for reducing wrinkles and fine lines while the 0.1% used widely for the treatment of acne and blackheads.For collagen remodelling you would need to use a 1 % concentration but this is not for all skin types and i believe that it should be used on the face only if it is absolutely necessary , as the side effects are obviously more severe with this concentration .i strongly recommend a consultation with your physician before you start 1% retin A Good luck
