Retin-A (tretinoin topical) is a topical cream that is rich in vitamin A and helps to fight teenage acne and adult acne; it also works to improve the appearance and the health of the skin.

How Does Retin-A Work?

Remedies for Adult Acne:

There are several common remedies for adult acne. The first step lies in properly caring for your skin. Washing your face twice per day using hot waters and cleansers is the key. You also may consider several over-the-counter medications that contain salicylic acid. You can also talk to your physician about Retin-A and how it naturally helps your body defend and protect against acne.

Differences between Retin-A and Renova:

Both of these prescription topical creams are very similar, but dispensed at different dosages. Retin-A is used to treat both teenage acne and adult acne, whereas Renova is used to treat the signs of aging and to fight wrinkles.
