March 7, 2016 updated by: Anna Chien, Johns Hopkins University

Double-blinded, Single-center, Parallel-arm Comparison Study of Retinol 1.0% and Tretinoin 0.02% in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Photodamage

The purpose of this study is to assess the comparative efficacy of retinol 1.0% and tretinoin 0.02% in minimizing wrinkles, discoloration, roughness, and other signs of moderate to severe photodamage. Our hypothesis is that both products will be of comparable benefit.
