Brand names and generics have the same active ingredients, but the base cream or gel they are in may be different. From what I can tell Stieva A is not a generic, but the brand name product in Canada. It is listed as being the same as Retin A in the states on the mayo clinic site.

It should offer the same benefits as Retin A.
