Drug Information
3 reviews for Tretinoin 0.025%
Tretinoin is a retinoid (a form of vitamin A) used on the skin. It treats acne by unblocking pores and helps improve skin texture, fine lines and uneven skin tone.
It comes in different strengths. The lower strength (0.025%) is gentler and good for starting, while stronger strengths (0.05% and 0.1%) work faster but can cause more irritation.
What is it used for?
- Acne, including blackheads and whiteheads
- Fine lines and rough skin caused by the sun (photo-ageing)
- Uneven skin tone
How does it work?
Tretinoin speeds up the renewal of skin cells. This stops dead cells from blocking pores and helps new, smoother skin come to the surface.
