Description:

Tretinoin is a medicine that you put on your skin to help reduce wrinkles. It’s a type of retinoid, made from vitamin A. Tretinoin helps your skin make more collagen, which keeps your skin firm and smooth. It also helps remove old skin cells so new, healthy ones can grow.

Doctors often give tretinoin to people who have fine lines, sun-damaged skin, or rough patches. With regular use, it can make your skin look younger and feel softer. But it can take a few weeks or months to see results.

When you first start using tretinoin, your skin might get dry, red, or peel a little. That’s normal and usually gets better over time. It’s important to wear sunscreen because tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
