Acretin Acne Cream 0.05% - 30 gm

Product Name: Acretin Cream 0.025% - 30 g Scientific Name: Tretinoin How Tretinoin works: Tretinoin promotes the detachment of keratinocytes and promotes shedding. Tretinoin increases mitotic activity, thereby increasing the turnover of non-adherent keratinocytes. By doing so, the contents of the comedo can be expelled, while reducing the microscopic precursor lesion of acne vulgaris. Special medical uses: Acretin Cream is used to treat acne.
