Retin-A – Acne Treatment Gel/Cream
Retin-A (tretinoin topical) is a vitamin A enhanced prescription topical cream which is used to treat adult acne and teenage acne. It also works to improve the health and the outer appearance of the skin.
What Causes Adult Acne:
All acne is caused essentially by the two same elements, dirt and bacteria. When the pores become clogged with these two elements they fight them off with white blood cells, which can clog the pores and cause pustules and or blackhead formations. The best way to avoid acne is by making sure that you wash and cleanse your face two times per day.
Treat Adult Acne with Retin-A:
You do not have to live with your adult acne any longer. There are effective methods of non-intrusive treatments out there. Retin-A has been clinically proven to help treat and reduce adult acne and it also works to improve the health and appearance of your skin. Isn’t it time that you asked your doctor about what Retin-A can do to help you treat your adult acne?
Difference between Retin-A and Renova:
The only major difference between these two topical prescription medications is their dosage levels and what they are prescribed to treat. Retin-A is prescribed to treat teenage and adult acne; whereas Renova is prescribed to treat signs of aging and wrinkles in the skin.
