Retin-A Don't Hide Behind Acne Prone Skin!

Retin-A is a highly effective treatment designed to address acne prone skin, as well as the appearance, number of wrinkles and general condition of the skin.

It contains an ingredient called tretinoin (or may be referred to as retinolic acid), which is derived from vitamin A.  Although the action of tretinoin remains largely unknown, current evidence suggests that when applied topically,  tretinoin decreases blackhead formation and stimulates an increased turnover of the follicle cells that extrude blackheads (comedones).

Improving blood supply to the skin in this fashion, results in a new, more subtle and more youthful looking skin.  Retin-A can reduce severe wrinkles within 6 weeks, and completely remove fine lines.  It is also used to speed up the rate of skin repair following cosmetic surgery.

There are three versions of Retin-A available: The 0.025% cream is for general skin improvement, the 0.05% cream is designed for treating wrinkles, and the 0.1% cream, is designed for acne and blackhead removal.  

If you have never used Retin-A before, it is strongly recommend that you start at the lowest dosage and if necessary, increase the dosage slowly over time. GI 09/20/2007
