I am not familar with the MUAC product.
I do know that Retin A is a prescription product and as far as I know there is not an OTC equal strength product.
Some ladies on makeupalley have ordered from this company. I think there is also some reviews. |

Retinol must be converted to retinoic acid, and some is lost during the process.
So, a 1% retinol will be weaker than a 1% retinoic acid (Retin-A). |

| The MUAC product looks really interesting. I wonder whether it would be more beneficial than Retin-A. I've been using Retin-A 0.1% for about 12 months and really like it though. |

Keliu - I would never replace Retin-A with a retinol product. Retin-A has been on the market for 25 - 30 years and has got more scientific backing for its anti-aging effect than any other skin care product.
Here's an article from NY Times about Retin-A that I originally posted on another thread.

Thanks so much for posting that article - I'm definitely sticking with Retin-A now!  |
