Retin-A is a prescription medication containing tretinoin, a potent derivative of vitamin A. It is primarily used to treat acne and has additional benefits such as reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and fading hyperpigmentation. Retin-A is considered significantly stronger than over-the-counter retinol products and works directly upon application without the need for conversion by the skin.
Preparation: Wash your face with a mild cleanser and pat it dry.
Application: Apply a pea-sized amount of Retin-A to the affected areas once daily, preferably in the evening.
Sun Protection: Use sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Follow-Up: If irritation occurs, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
Ingredients:
Active Ingredient: Tretinoin (the concentration will depend on the specific formulation)
