[Product Question] The Ordinary Retinol 1% versus prescription retinol - big difference in efficacy?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I just ordered and received some The Ordinary 1% retinol, but I also have a doctor's appointment in a week where I could ask for some prescription retinol.Are prescription retinols significantly more effective than the over the counter The Ordinary 1% formulation? The possibilities I think are Adapalene 0.1% and Tretinoin 0.025% on the NHS (UK health service) (based on this SCAUK post).If the prescriptions ones are significantly more effective, would it be a good idea to start The Ordinary now anyway and then switch to prescription in a week or will starting it now conflict with the prescription ones later?My skin concerns are moderate acne and textured skin.Pics:http://i.imgur.com/1V55Hq5.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/YSpWYxO.jpg
