Have you started to notice wrinkles developing on your face? From crow’s feet, to frown lines, and forehead wrinkles... facial wrinkles can develop in a variety of locations.
Most people begin to spot wrinkles during their mid to late 20s, with wrinkles often becoming more obvious in their 30s and 40s.
Although everyone is different, it’s normal to notice some level of wrinkle development as you get older.
One of the most effective anti-aging and wrinkle prevention treatments is tretinoin.
Tretinoin is a topical retinoid that is FDA-approved for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps with acne, sun damage (spotty discoloration or hyperpigmentation), and texture by increasing the turnover of skin cells.
There is much to learn when using this prescription medication, so let us teach you the in's and out's.
