This products contains a 1% level of Retinol, not tretinoin. Tretinoin is a prescription-only (USA) form of retinoid while Retinol is a different but similar vitamin A analog available without a prescription. Tretinoin is more potent than Retinol and a typical preparation may contain 0.1% concentration of tretinoin, not 1%.
