“What is tretinoin?”

Tretinoin is an ingredient that turns into vitamin A (retinol), which is essential for creating beautiful skin.Tretinoin is said to be about 50 to 100 times more active than vitamin A. It is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in the United States) as a treatment for age spots and acne, and is used as a skin beautification treatment that can be easily taken at home.

How tretinoin works

  • Promote skin turnover

    It promotes skin turnover and removes dead skin cells.

  • Activation of the epidermis of the skin

    It causes epidermal cells to divide and proliferate and promotes melanin excretion.

  • For non-shiny skin

    It suppresses the function of sebaceous glands and suppresses excessive secretion of sebum.

  • For youthful skin

    It promotes the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, improving various skin problems such as skin firmness, fine lines, and acne.

How to use tretinoin

What to prepare

  • Tretinoin
  • At. TA Pure Skin Lotion
  • Others (sunscreen/mask sheets)

Example of usage(Stain case)

  • Face wash

    When washing your face, wash gently with plenty of foam.Rubbing your skin too hard can cause pigmentation.

  • At. Apply TA Pure Skin Lotion

    Apply At. TA Pure Skin Lotion all over your face.We recommend using a commercially available mask sheet or a home iontophoresis device, as this will allow the product to penetrate the skin more easily.

    At. TA Pure Skin Lotion

  • apply tretinoin

    Apply tretinoin to a cotton swab.The key is to apply it as thinly as possible and only to the areas where the stain is forming.After that, be sure to moisturize your skin thoroughly with the milky lotion or cream you normally use.

  • Always apply sunscreen in the morning

    The skin in the area where tretinoin is applied is more susceptible to UV rays than usual.Be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 20 or higher, PA+ or higher) when going out.Don't forget to apply it indoors and in your car.*The above is an example of how to use it.The method of use differs depending on the purpose, such as fine wrinkles, melasma, and acne.

Treatment progress

  • Redness and flakiness will appear about a week after the treatment.
  • After a few more days, the skin around the reddened area will start to peel off.
  • The redness of the skin will subside in about 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Store tretinoin in the refrigerator and use it within one month.After one month, the patient will come back to see the doctor, and after checking the condition of the patient's skin, we will prepare a new formulation and prescribe a new one.

*Tretinoin is uniquely formulated at our hospital.As long-term storage is not effective, please be sure to use it within one month and discard it at home after that.
*<Side effects> A retinoid reaction (skin dryness, peeling, redness, itching) may occur, but the reaction will gradually subside as your skin becomes accustomed to it.
