Tretinoin Cream

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.

Uses

This prescription cream effectively treats acne vulgaris (characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads) while visibly improving sun-damaged or aging skin by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Its dual-action formula clears clogged pores, prevents acne recurrence, and promotes radiant, healthy-looking skin.
