Tretinoin Microsphere

Drug Details

Tretinoin is a prescription medication used to treat acne by reducing the number and severity of pimples and promoting quicker healing of those that develop. As a member of the retinoid class, tretinoin works by influencing the growth of skin cells. It helps unclog pores filled with dead skin cells and excess oil, facilitating the replacement of old skin cells with new ones, which helps prevent acne formation. Tretinoin is available in various forms, including gels and creams, under brand names like Atralin, Avita, and Retin-A Micro, as well as generic versions. Typically, it is applied once daily to the affected areas. Some users may experience side effects such as dry or peeling skin and a burning sensation at the application site. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance before using tretinoin or any other medications.
