A Ret Gel

Product Description:

A Ret Gel is a topical medication formulated with Tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative classified as a retinoid. This gel-based treatment is primarily indicated for managing acne vulgaris and addressing various dermatological concerns. The active component accelerates skin cell renewal, inhibits new acne formation, and diminishes the visibility of existing blemishes.
