Retin-A vs Medium Depth Chemical Peels

I am confused as to how effective chemical peels really are. I was told by my doctor that they wont really have a large impact on wrinkles or pore size. So as an alternative, i was wondering if perhaps Retin-a would possibly be more effective or at least as effective as a medium level chemical peel such as Jessner?
