Retin-A (tretinoin gel 0.1%) is proven skin care medication to reduce the severity of acne vulgaris in effected patients. Seen most commonly in adolescents, but also seen in older patients as well, true acne involves the formation of comedones (large deep seeded pus filled pimples) that resolve slowly leaving behind a deep scar. Retin-A can significantly reduce the severity of these lesions.
This medicine contains the active ingredient tretinoin, which is a form of vitamin A used in the treatment of acne.
It is not known exactly how tretinoin works, but it is thought to loosen the cells in the surface of the skin. This helps to unblock pores, so that the skins natural oil producing glands can function normally.
In addition, tretinoin increases the turnover of the skin cells, which aids the natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. This also helps to unblock pores and decrease the formation of blackheads (comedones) and spots.
It may take six to eight weeks before definite beneficial effects on the skin can be seen.
