Tretinoin is a medication commonly prescribed for the treatment of various dermatological conditions. It is primarily indicated for the management of acne, helping to reduce the formation of new acne lesions and improving the overall appearance of the skin. Tretinoin is also used to mitigate the signs of photoaging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, by promoting skin cell turnover and collagen production. This medication works by unclogging pores, enhancing skin exfoliation, and stimulating the renewal of skin cells.
