Skin Care Review: Tretinoin

by Phu Nguyen, Renton, WA U.S

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
This has been the most effective acne treament I have ever seen.

Drawbacks
It takes 4-6 weeks to notice the results.

Details
have been having problems with adult acne prone skin for several years now. (I am a young adult female who just turned 22). Whenever an acne problem flares up on my face, I would just use my sister's prescription Retina - A cream, also now known as Avita. Everytime I use it, it has been a miracle for my face. Not only does it take care of the acne within a few days, but it also improves the overall look and texture of my skin on my face. Retina A, a.k.a Avita is a 0.025% tretinoin cream and it is a derivative of vitamin A, which has been clinically proven to help your skin to quickly regenerate new skin.

I have been using my sisters' and recently just got my own prescription for it and I notice that not only does it heal my acne and its subsequent scars, but it also seems to improve the overall apperance, texture, and look of the skin on my face.

Retina A is a prescription topical cream that you apply to your face once to two times daily depending on the severity of yor acne. It is a powerful topical treatment so you really only need about a dime size for your whole face, using too much of it can actually dry out your skin and cause irritation. So you do not need too much, but just a moderate small amount to work wonders on your face.

Conclusions
It take a few weeks (4-6 weeks) to notice the results. Be patient. It takes time.
