more product information:
This is considered a mid-strength tretinoin. A great choice for those experienced with tretinoin use and are already accustomed to its temporary side effects on the skin, such as flaking and peeling.
(tretinoin) is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself—it is used to treat acne as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin discoloration and to increase skin smoothness.
Tretinoin is the treatment of choice for comedonal acne, or whiteheads and blackheads. It works by increasing skin cell turnover, promoting the extrusion of the plugged material in the follicle. It also prevents the formation of new comedones.
Tretinoin is also the only topical product that has been proven to improve wrinkles.
While tretinoin is extremely effective, results for acne improvement may take as much as 8-12 weeks of use before you notice improvement in your skin. Using more product or applying it more often than directed will not make it work any faster, and may increase side effects. Results for reduction of wrinkles can take up 6 months to a year. The effect of increased skin cell turnover can be irritation and flaking. For this reason, many people stop using tretinoin after a couple of days to weeks, and then think that it didn't work. Don't stop using the product because of these common side effects.
When using Tretinoin avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (tanning beds). Tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun. Do not use Tretinoin on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, irritated, or broken skin.
Also avoid using this product in wounds or on areas of eczema. Wait until these conditions have healed before using Tretinoin. You should not use Tretinoin if you are allergic to tretinoin. is for use only on the skin
