How does Retino A Cream 0.025% (Tretinoin) work?

Tretinoin cream treats fine facial wrinkles, dark patches, and rough skin produced by the sun’s UV radiation. 

It works by whitening the skin and replacing older skin cells with new ones.

It also deaccelerates the rate at which the body eliminates sun-damaged skin cells. 

Tretinoin is most effective when taken in conjunction with a skincare regimen that includes sun protection. 

Hence do not forget to parallel the cream with sun protection and hydrate yourself.

However, it does not totally or permanently eliminate these skin issues or significantly improves more noticeable skin changes, such as sun-induced or age-related deep wrinkles.
