Hey guys, I've been wondering for a while now why Retin A is supposed to be good for scarring, but Accutane supposedly makes scars form easier. If they're both derived from vitamin A, wouldn't it make sense that they do the same thing even though one is topical and the other is oral? For example, vitamin C is supposed to promote collagen either way. Anybody read anything about this or have any idea?

1. RetinA doesn't cure scars.
2. Vitamin is vitamin C
3. Retin A and Accutane are structural different and have different action.
