Tretinoin - TRET-i-noyn is using to treat acne. It works partly by keeping skin pores clear.
One of the tretinoin creams is using to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face causing by damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin and by slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun.
