WHAT IS TRETINOIN?
The synthetic version of vitamin A is Tretinoin. It is stronger and you need your medicine prescribed by your doctor.
It may sound contrary, but Tretinoin works through irritation of the skin. Tretinoin can accelerate the skin cells’ life cycle. It divides them more rapidly and causes them to die more quickly.
WHAT IS TRETINOIN USED FOR?
Tretinoin is not new as a topical skin therapy. It has been used for nearly 50 years to treat mild to moderate acne. Tretinoin products contain sometimes antibacterial acne treatment ingredients in combination products.
