While both were equally effective over a one year period, Tretinoin 0.1% was able to achieve cosmetic improvement in 6 months while 0.05% required closer to 12 months. Finally, 0.025% was compared to 0.1% and it was found that both produced similar improvements in photoaging. However, tretinoin 0.025% caused fewer side effects such as drying and irritation. All of these studies used Tretinoin in a cream base.”

In other word 0.1% is far superior and better for improvement but also with more purging and side effects as well

The biggest difference in term of purging and side effects is going from 0.05% to 0.1% because you literally doubled the strength
