How Tretinoin Works for Acne
Tretinoin works by increasing cell turnover, which helps prevent pores from becoming clogged. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the redness and swelling associated with breakouts.
Product Recommendation
For acne-prone skin, Tretify Tretinoin Gel (0.025% or 0.05%) is ideal. The gel formulation absorbs quickly and doesn’t add extra oil, helping control breakouts.
Routine:
- Cleansing: Use a gentle, non-drying cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.
- Tretinoin Application: Apply Tretify Tretinoin Gel at night, starting with 2-3 times a week.
- Moisturizer: Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost.
- Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen like EltaMD UV Clear every morning.
