Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin)
Product Description
Retin-A Gel is a topical dermatological treatment containing Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself. It is primarily used to treat acne vulgaris by promoting cell turnover, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation. In some cases, it is also prescribed to improve skin texture, minimize fine lines, and fade pigmentation over time.
This formulation comes in a lightweight gel base, making it especially suitable for oily or acne-prone skin.
