Retin-A (anti ageing gel & acne treatment ) Information
Retin-A (Tretinoin) is a successful treatment for acne, wrinkles and sun damage. Its active ingredient is tretinoin which is a derivative form of Vitamin A. It increases the skin cell turnover which promotes the extrusion of the plugged material in the follicle. Retin-A loosens the cells in the surface of the skin which helps in unblocking the pores thus the natural oil producing glands continue to function as normal and as a result, the acne and wrinkles go away. Retin-A is the only topical therapy that has been proven to slow down the aging process and improve the wrinkles as it thins the outer layer of the skin. Retin-A is also very effective in decreasing the formation of spots and blackheads on the skin.
