Retino

Description

Product Overview
Retino-A is a topical dermatological medication used for the treatment of acne vulgaris, blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory acne lesions, and post-acne skin concerns. Available in multiple strengths and formulations, Retino-A helps promote skin renewal, unclog pores, and prevent the formation of new acne breakouts. The range includes standard tretinoin creams, microsphere gel formulations for improved tolerability, and combination therapy for enhanced acne control.

Available Variants

• Retino-A Cream 0.025% (20 gm) – Mild-strength tretinoin cream suitable for acne-prone skin and beginners to retinoid therapy.
• Retino-A Cream 0.05% (20 gm) – Higher-strength tretinoin cream for moderate acne and skin renewal.
• Retino-A Micro Gel 0.04% (15 gm) – Microsphere gel formulation with controlled-release tretinoin for improved skin tolerance.
• Retino-A Micro Gel 0.1% (15 gm) – Higher-strength microsphere gel designed for more persistent acne conditions.
• Retino AC Gel 0.025% / 1% (15 gm) – Combination acne treatment containing Tretinoin and Clindamycin for enhanced antibacterial and anti-acne action.

Active Ingredients

• Tretinoin 0.025%
• Tretinoin 0.05%
• Tretinoin 0.04% (Microsphere)
• Tretinoin 0.1% (Microsphere)
• Tretinoin 0.025% + Clindamycin Phosphate 1% (Retino AC Gel)

How It Works
Tretinoin works by accelerating skin cell turnover and preventing the accumulation of dead skin cells that block pores. This helps reduce existing acne lesions and prevent future breakouts. The microsphere formulations gradually release tretinoin, helping reduce irritation while maintaining effectiveness. Retino AC Gel combines tretinoin with clindamycin, an antibiotic that helps control acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
