Tretinoin Cream and its active substance Tretinoin

The active ingredient of Tretinoin Cream is Tretinoin - a vitamin A derivative. It is a first-generation retinoid originally developed for acne treatment. Tretinoin is also effective in combating photoaging. It penetrates the skin and interacts with specific cellular receptors, affecting DNA synthesis.

As a result, skin regeneration is accelerated; thus, pigmentation transfers to the top layer and is removed as the renewal process occurs. Tretinoin also reduces the production of sebum, decreasing inflammation and preventing the appearance of acne. The cream should be used regularly for several weeks to maximize the treatment's effect.
