Tretinoin is used to treat anti aging in skin cells as well as acne, sun damage, eczema and other skin disorders.

Tretinoin is a form of Vitimin A, it is a fairly common component of many anti aging products.  It is widely used as an anti wrinkle ingredient.

Tretinoin in gel form tends to be stronger than creams containing Tretinoin as it seems Tretinoin in gel form penetrates the skin better.

Tretinoin works as both an exfoliant, by disolving the top layers of the skin to reveal the soft, youthful cells below.  And as an antioxidant and a nutrient to the skin cells.

Tretinoin has been tested and has been shown to be an effective anti wrinkle ingredient.   Tretinoin has however been shown, in high concentrations, it can lead to irritation, redness, and even swelling.  For this reason great care must be taken when using products with Tretinoin in.
