It has been revealed scientifically that when applied to the skin, Retin-A improves blood supply to the skin which in turn increases the turnover of dead skin cells. This aspect improves the quality of skin making it appear fresh and more youthful looking. With regard to the treatment of acne, evidence suggests that when applied topically, Tretinoin reduces blackhead formation and invigorates the development of the follicle cells that extrude blackheads.
Overwhelming clinical evidence and histological evidence, where the anatomical study of the microscopic structure of the skin tissues are minutely studied, indicates that topical retinoids such as Retin-A can control and modify to a certain extent the structural changes induced by excessive sun exposure.
According to the Dermatologists, creams such as Retin-A, are especially useful for initiating the 'milder' changes of aging including fine lines, wrinkles or roughness. It has been proven that the usage of this cream for a period of just 6 weeks shows astounding results - like fine lines disappear completely while the severe wrinkles are greatly reduced and the skin regains a youthful glow.
The use of generic drug Tretinoin is not just limited to fighting the visible signs of aging and for treating acne prone skin. It can be used to:
Treat and reduce stretch marks.Speed up the rate of skin repair.It should be applied sparingly to the skin's surface 5 times a week initially and thereafter thrice a week. However, Retin-A may cause few unwanted side effects. Normally, the application of Retin-A may cause a little skin reddening but this may be due to the improvements in the skin's blood supply. Those having more sensitive skins may also experience burning, scaling and itching.
Retin-A increases skin sensitivity which implies that the risk of developing extreme sunburn is increased and extra care should be taken to prevent over exposure of treated skin to ultraviolet light. Retin-A may also cause a thinning of the skin. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that patients who are using Retin-A should avoid waxing. In all cases a gradual increase in the frequency and amount of Retin-A is best when applying this cream, since this allows the skin to adjust to this treatment. The advice of the health care professionals should be followed.
Retin-A must not come in contact with the eyes. Immediate rinsing of the eyes with cold water is necessary if it accidentally gets into the eyes. The application of Retin-A to skin should be avoided if the skin is suffering from psoriasis, eczema or if the users are suffering from a form of skin cancer.
