Understanding the option
How it works
Tretinoin is a retinoid that affects skin-cell turnover. Depending on the formulation and other ingredients, a provider may consider it for acne, uneven tone, texture, or other dermatologic goals.
Provider-directed use
How it is used
Apply only to the areas and at the frequency directed by your provider. Wash hands after use unless the hands are the treatment area, avoid unintended contact with eyes or mucous membranes, and follow all storage and sun-exposure guidance.
Individual response
What to expect
Hair and skin changes are usually gradual. Consistent use, follow-up photos or symptom review, and adjustment for irritation or lack of response may be part of the treatment plan.
Your care team may review symptoms, measurements, photographs, laboratory results, or other information depending on the treatment. No specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Potential reactions
Possible side effects
