Tretinex Cream

Tretinex Cream

Tretinex Cream is a derivative of vitamin A and is the treatment of choice for comedonal acne, as well as whiteheads and blackheads. It works by increasing skin cell turnover, which promotes the extrusion of the plugged material in the follicle. It also prevents the formation of new comedones. Tretinoin is the only topical medication that has been proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles.
