Tretin Cream 0.025% (30gm) is a topical medication used to treat acne, fine lines, and sun-damaged skin. It contains Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A, which works by increasing skin cell turnover and preventing the clogging of pores. This cream is also effective in reducing wrinkles, dark spots, and rough skin texture. Regular use of Tretin Cream promotes a smoother, clearer complexion.
