http://www.antiaging-systems.com/PRG-206/retin-a-acne-treatment.htmGiven society’s seeming obsession with youth and the fact that we will all develop visible signs of aging as we get older - if we let nature take its course - it’s hardly surprising that pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies have invested millions of dollars into the development of creams and lotions that promise to help us stay looking as young as possible for as long as possible.
However faced with such a dazzling array of products that range from the ridiculously cheap to the ludicrously expensive, many of which if you believe all that the manufacturers tell you, can turn back the hands of time, how do we know which product to use?
Look no further than Retin-A. Retin-A is a topical cream that has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce wrinkles, remove fine lines and generally improve the skin’s condition and appearance. As mentioned previously the active ingredient in Retin-A is Tretinoin - an acid form of Vitamin A. Indeed, Tretinoin is classed as a retinoid. Retinoids are a group of chemical compounds that are all chemically related to Vitamin A.
Initially developed to treat acne, Tretinoin is still commonly used as a form of acne treatment. In fact Tretinoin was the first retinoid developed for this type of topical use. But, in terms of dermatological applications, its capabilities extend far beyond the treatment of acne and Tretinoin is now the best studied retinoid in relation to the treatment of photoaging1.
And the use of Retin-A, is not just limited to the face - it can also be successfully used on the back of the hands.
Used for a period of just 6 weeks, the results can be quite astonishing - fine lines completely gone, severe wrinkles greatly reduced with the skin has regaining a youthful glow.
