While both retinol and Retin-A contain retinoids, they differ in their concentration. Retinol and other forms, such as retinal and retinyl palmitate are found in many over-the-counter anti-aging creams. While these all contain a form of vitamin A, the concentration of retinoids is weak. Retin-A is a prescription retinoid and is a brand name for tretinoin, which is the carboxylic acid form of vitamin A and was one of the early topical acne treatments. Retin-A is sold by prescription because its acid composition is much greater than in over-the-counter products.
Undefined is a term used when a mathematical result has no meaning. More precisely, undefined values occur when an expression is evaluated for input values outside of its domain. ( 1 if no complex numbers). ( 2 if no complex numbers). ( 3 units in radians, no complex infinity). ( 4 if no complex infinity).
in algebra, a function is said to be undefined at points not in its domain -- for example, in the real number system, f ( x ) = x {\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {x}}} is undefined for negative x {\displaystyle x} , i.e., no such values exist for function f {\displaystyle f} .
