Retin-A gel is used to treat a range of skin problems, especially acne. It exfoliates the outer layer of skin and helps unclog pores, reducing the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. It also helps reduce inflammation and prevents new pimples from forming. This gel contains tretinoin, a form of vitamin E that helps regenerate skin cells and improve skin texture. Retin-A is also used to lighten dark spots caused by pimples or sun exposure. It also helps reduce fine lines and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Retin-A is usually used at night on clean, dry skin, and a thin layer is applied only to the affected areas.
