It depends on your skin type. Some people do very well on regular Retin A aka tretinoin. If you have more sensitive skin usually Retin A Micro, Differin cream or gel or Tazorac aka Tazarotene cream or gel are usually really good alternative's.

I bought a big 40 gram tube of the Retin A 0.05% online without a prescription from http://www.brandnameskincream.com it's middle strength and I only need a pea size. I've been using it for about 3 months now. I only use it every other day or so or my skin will peel like a snake. It has helped my acne stay under control and has really helped with reducing my sun spots I got from the tanning bed. I'm actually looking younger now instead of older and wrinkled from the tanning bed. I am always getting comments on how good my skin looks now and I never got that before. So I'm really happy with the results.
