Vitacid Tretinoin 0.05 Cream

Vitacid is a topical acne medicine containing Retinoic Acid or Retinoid (tretinoin). Retinoic Acid increases mitosis and epidermal cell turnover as well as suppresses keratin synthesis.

Increased skin permeability causes loss of fluid, making it easier to exfoliate the skin and preventing exfoliation from forming. Therefore, Vitacid Cream is effectively used for the treatment of comedogenic acne, papules, and pustules.

Derived from vitamin A, retinol is an active ingredient in skin care that has been shown to increase skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen, the building block for skin, which makes it great for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.

Retinoids for Acne. If you have moderate to severe acne that hasn’t gotten better with other treatments, a retinoid may help.

When spread on the skin, retinoids can unclog pores, allowing other medicated creams and gels to work better. They also reduce acne outbreaks by preventing dead cells from clogging pores.

By clearing acne and reducing outbreaks, they may also reduce the formation of acne scars.

Retinoids for Wrinkles. Tretinoin was the first retinoid approved by the FDA to treat wrinkles. This prescription retinoid works by increasing the making of new collagen.

It also stimulates new blood vessels in the skin, giving skin a rosy appearance, fading age spots, and reducing precancerous skin spots called actinic keratosis.

Tretinoin also may help prevent more serious effects of ultraviolet radiation.

About Vitacid Tretinoin 0.05 Cream

• Retinoids increase collagen production and decrease collagen breakdown, which “helps with fine lines and wrinkles” as well as scarring.
• Retinoids inhibit the production and transfer of melanin, which “prevents age spots from surfacing over time” and helps fade age spots and sun spots that already exist.
• Retinoids help unclog pores and minimize their appearance.
• Retinoids increase skin cell turnover, which helps replace dead skin cells with younger, healthier ones that promote a glowing complexion.
• Retinol is the mainstay acne-fighting topical as it removes the top layer of skin [that] can clog the pore, helps decrease oil production, kills acne-causing bacteria and is anti-inflammatory.
