How Does Tretinoin Cream Work for Acne and Wrinkles? - #15181
I’ve been hearing a lot about Tretinoin cream for skincare, especially for acne and anti-aging. From what I understand, Tretinoin cream is a form of Vitamin A (retinoid), but how does it actually work on the skin? I have mild acne scars and occasional breakouts, and I’m considering using Tretinoin cream, but I’ve also heard that it can cause redness, peeling, and skin irritation when you first start using it. Is this normal? How long does it take for the skin to adjust? I also read that Tretinoin cream can help with fine lines and wrinkles. Does it actually reverse signs of aging, or does it just make the skin look smoother? Since I have sensitive skin, I want to be careful. Are there any natural alternatives in Ayurveda that provide similar benefits without the harsh side effects? I’ve heard that Kumkumadi oil and aloe vera can help with skin renewal and acne scars—do they work as well as Tretinoin cream? If anyone has used Tretinoin cream, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did it improve your skin, and how long did it take to see results?
