Uses of Tretin Cream

Tretin Cream (Generic Tretinoin 0.05% and 0.025% Cream) is a form of vitamin A that is indicated for topical treatment of acne vulgaris which appears as spots or pimples on your face, chest, or back. It works partly by keeping skin pores clear.
Some topical tretinoin products may be used to help improve how fine wrinkles on the face look or to treat other skin diseases as determined by your doctor. One of the tretinoin creams is used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face caused by the damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun. Tretinoin works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun.
Topical tretinoin may also be used for other conditions as determined by your healthcare provider.
