How does it work?

The active ingredient in Retin-A cream is called tretinoin. It normalizes the renewal of the skin by "peeling off" the cornifications in acne. This will allow the sebum to flow out of the pores better. The pores are refined and no longer clogged so easily.

How is it used?

The dose is individually adjusted to your needs. Apply the cream to affected areas once a day before going to bed, after carefully cleaning and drying the application areas.

If your skin is severely irritated during the initial treatment, apply the cream every other day. If your skin is not irritated, you can apply the cream twice a day.

The treatment usually lasts 8 to 12 weeks.

I bought the Retin A cream to fight my acne. I use the cream at night before bed. Retin A works beautifully. The Wauuu effect is already present after 6 weeks of regular use. I will definitely continue to use this cream and definitely recommend it!
