What is Tretinoin?

Initially Tretinoin, belonging to the family of compounds known as retinoids derived from Vitamin A was approved by the FDA as an acne treatment. Tretinoin is a prescription-strength topical gel or cream prescribed to treat acne and counteract hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Uses of Tretinoin

Tretinoin for acne

Tretinoin causes reduction in acne and acne scars by unclogging pores and promoting the growth of acne-free skin. 

Tretinoin for wrinkles and anti-aging

Tretinoin reduces the visible signs of aging by increasing collagen production and cell turnover. 

Tretinoin helps reduce stretch marks

Tretinoin can significantly improve the appearance of stubborn stretch marks on the skin. Tretinoin helps boost collagen production helping to repair the skin and the increased cell turnover helps smooth out the scar tissue. 

Tretinoin may help treat hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture

Tretinoin disrupts the mechanism of melanin production, helping fade hyperpigmentation, including dark and age spots. The promotion of skin cell turnover and exfoliation helps reveal new, healthier skin cells.

If you have any skin condition or are looking to achieve a more radiant and youthful appearance, consult with our online doctor for an online prescription for Retin A cream.

How to use Tretinoin?
