Product Overview
Tretinex Cream is a topical medication formulated with Tretinoin 0.025%, a retinoid clinically proven to treat acne and enhance skin appearance by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving texture. This cream accelerates skin cell renewal, prevents new acne formation, and boosts collagen production. Designed for external use only, it should be applied directly to affected skin areas.
