Topical treatment for acne vulgaris. Available by prescription only; all Obagi tretinoin formulations are fragrance free. Tretinoin is the generic name for synthetic, first-generation all-trans-retinoic acid. Topical tretinoin first arrived on the dermatology scene in the 1960s. It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne, and in a few other FDA-approved products (which does not apply to our tretinoin products) as an adjunctive agent to treat fine facial wrinkling for patients who use comprehensive skincare and sun avoidance programs.

Tretinoin repairs the skin from the inside out. It’s able to penetrate your skins layers to attack acne at the source, stimulate collagen production, and lighten scars and blemishes. The result? Clearer, brighter, smoother, and healthier skin. Tretinoin corrects your skin on a cellular level.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: 0.05% TRETINOIN
