Effects
As studies show when Tretinoin contacts with skin it bus tires skin cells called retinoid receptors. This receptor mostly consists of that one which is responsible for cell creation and production of essential for skin resilience proteins (collagen, elastin etc.). Besides of stimulating rise, Tretinoin represses manufacture of hampering for elastin and collagen ferment. Tretinoin cream affects both to reducing ineffective proteins that cause lines growth and increasing natural proteins which helps us to battle wrinkles.
Types
Tretinoin is available by OKDERMO Store. However, a number of formulations are available. Type of Tretinoin you should use depends on the type of your skin. Let’s start with oily skin: it requires gel form of Tretinoin as far as it has a light drying effect and incomparable in reducing signs of skin ageing. And if we talk about dry skin then it’s better to use cream and salve forms of Tretinoin because they are dedicated also to moisturize skin layer. Appositely, there is several types of strength so you can choose the best match one for you.
Application
Tretinoin should only be applied at night, as the vitamin-A compounds they contain are photosensitive and will make your skin much more sensitive to sunlight. Applying the product at night also gives it a chance to absorb into the skin fully. Apply the Retin-A to dry skin, about 20 minutes after thoroughly cleansing your face. At most, a pea-sized amount of cream should be used on the face, avoiding eye zones, and a little more if applying to the neck. A good technique is to dab the cream on the areas most affected by wrinkles, age spots, etc., then wipe any remaining cream over the rest of the face. Don’t forget to wash your hands properly after applying.
Side Effects
Many people become scared of using Retin-A because they start applying the cream too heavily and experience negative side effects such as dryness, irritation, stinging and acne outbreaks. However, these effects can be greatly reduced if the cream is applied in moderation. As long as you are using the treatment correctly, any irritation should subside within a few weeks.
Warning
Anti-Wrinkle Tretinoin treatment makes your skin hypersensitive to sunlight, which is why you only apply it at night. However, you should also take precautions during daylight hours by wearing an SPF every day. It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny, rainy, cloudy or even snowy – your skin needs to be protected. Tretinoin works by exfoliating away the top layers of skin. As a result of this, skin can become thinned out and fragile. Therefore is not a good idea to undergo any facial waxing while you are using Retin-A cream.
