Enzyme-Active Retinol is the precursor to retinoic acid (prescription retinol), meaning your skin converts it to retinoic acid as soon as it's applied.
We of course need to recommend that you consult your physician with this exact question and generally ignore what skincare companies have to say. However, we can say that in head-to-head studies (below) the enzyme-active form of retinol (retinal) performed as well or better than prescription retinoic acid at reducing wrinkles, boosting collagen and removing hyperpigmentation.
