It works by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate cell turnover, which helps to improve the appearance of skin discoloration and texture. This topical cream contains a powerful active ingredient called tretinoin, which is derived from vitamin A. Tretinoin works by unclogging pores, reducing existing breakouts, and preventing new blemishes from forming. It can also help fade existing discoloration caused by UV radiation from the sun, and other environmental factors. Retin-A Cream 0.05% helps to increase collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and give skin a healthy glow. With regular use, users can achieve a smoother, even complexion with improved overall skin clarity.

Retin-A (Tretinoin) Cream is a retinoid medication that's used to treat acne. It's available as creams, gels, and lotions that are applied onto the skin. Some side effects of tretinoin are skin irritation, redness, and peeling. Your acne also might get worse (flare up) during the first few weeks of treatment, but it should improve with continued use. Tretinoin is only available by prescription; it isn't found over the counter.
