Retin - A Microgel Information

What it is RETIN-A MICRO is a topical prescription acne treatment that many doctors and dermatologists consider one of the most effective to treat acne. It can start clearing up skin in as little as two weeks, with full results after seven. It even helps prevent new breakouts. RETIN-A MICRO is the only acne medication with patented microspheres that contain tretinoin, the medicine prescribed #1 by dermatologists. An innovative acne treatment, RETIN-A MICRO helps clear up skin with low levels of skin irritation. RETIN-A MICRO is available from your doctor in two strengths, so ask which one is right for you.

What microspheres are?
Microspheres are round microscopic particles made of synthetic polymer. These particles hold tretinoin in the Microsponge® system, and the medication is formulated into a gel. The microspheres hold the medication in reserve, allowing the skin to absorb small amounts of tretinoin over time. Dermatologists who conducted clinical studies believe this may be why most RETIN-A MICRO patients experience low levels of skin irritation. The microspheres remain on top of the skin and are easily washed off when you shower or wash your face.

What RETIN-A MICRO is indicated for?
RETIN-A MICRO is indicated for topical application in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
