Retin A, also commonly known as tretinoin, is concocted from vitamin A and retinoic acid like the substance retinol, it too is also a part of the retinoid group- a group of vitamin A derivatives, and most times comes in cream or gel form. Its power is touted throughout the dermatological community for treating bad skin as well as the scarring acne sometimes leaves in its wake. Not only that, if it just so happens you have old and wrinkled skin, you can use it to treat it as well, as it will make your skin look more youthful and vigorous.
As effective as Retin A can be, its not without its down side. You may be liable to red and inflammed, or swollen skin if you tend to show a sensitivity to the therapy. Skin blemishes may also occur in rare instances. Retin A also has the distinction of making the skin sensitive to sunlight, so a good sunscreen is usually prescribed to be used in tandem when trying this remedy.
