This class of compounds is derived from vitamin A and is a well-studied group in skin care and skin conditions. There are natural retinoids, which are derived from vitamin A, and synthetic retinoids, which are not. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retin-A<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (tretinoin) is a natural retinoid, along with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">retinoic acid<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retin A Micro<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Examples of synthetic retinoids are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tazorac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tretinoin is approved by the Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) to treat <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acne<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and prevent wrinkles, dark spots, and skin roughness from worsening. It works by promoting the peeling of affected areas of skin and by unclogging pores. Normally, retinol products come in a topical form, meaning they are applied to the skin. Tretinoin is available in a lotion, cream, or gel form, and is only obtainable with a prescription. Other products, like retinol, can be purchased over-the-counter, without a prescription. Tretinoin comes in various strengths as well, which is something to discuss with your healthcare provider if you are interested in a prescription. There are also products like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">isotretinoin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that come in a capsule form and are taken by mouth. For the purposes of this article, we will only be discussing topical tretinoin.

Below is a general guide for using tretinoin:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before using tretinoin, ensure that your skin is not windburned or sunburned. Do not use this medication in or around the eyes, lips, or nose.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, wash the skin with a mild cleanser and warm water, using the tips of your fingers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently pat dry. (Do not scrub face during wash).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wait 20 to 30 minutes or until the skin is completely dry before applying the medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the cream, gel, or lotion version of tretinoin:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply only enough medication to lightly cover the affected area(s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rub in gently, but fully.

During the first three weeks of using tretinoin, your skin may become irritated as it adjusts to tretinoin. In fact, some initial side effects include very dry skin, redness, scaling, and itching. Generally, these effects will improve as time progresses and the skin adjusts to the medication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The acne should start to improve within 2-3 weeks of use, although this may take up to six weeks. If tretinoin is being used to reduce wrinkles, discoloration, or rough skin, it may take 3-4 months before results are apparent. It is important to be consistent when using tretinoin in order to get the desired results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-often-to-use-tretinoin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often to use tretinoin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dosing for tretinoin depends on the individual and what their healthcare provider believes is best for treatment. In general, tretinoin is dosed for once daily application. It doesn\u2019t matter when the medicine is applied, but your provider may recommend using tretinoin at night to avoid it interacting with other skin care products that you may use during the daytime. Most prescriptions for tretinoin are written to be used once daily, but this may vary depending on your provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"common-tretinoin-dosages\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common tretinoin dosages<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tretinoin comes in many different forms and dosages.
