Retinol/Retin-A

Hi....need some help. If I am using Retin-A, do I also need to use a retinol product? I am not really familiar with the differences between the two. Thank you!

@Arianny No. They are both in the retinoid family. Retin-A is usually obtained by prescription and is far stronger than retinol. Both will make your skin sensitive to the sun so use retinoids at night and be sure to use sunscreen during the day.
