Retin A, also often known as tretinoin, is produced from vitamin A and retinoic acid like the substance retinol, it too is also a part of the retinoid group- a batch of vitamin A derivatives, and most times comes in cream or gel form. Its efficacy is highly regarded throughout the dermatological community for treating damaged skin as well as the scarring acne sometimes leaves in its wake. Not only that, if it just so happens you have old and damaged skin, you can use it to treat it as well, as it will make your skin look more youthful and vigorous. As effective as Retin A can be, its not without its down side. You may be liable to red and inflammed, or swollen skin if you tend to show a sensitivity to the therapy. Skin discoloration may also occur in rare instances.
