HOW TRETINOIN WORKS

Renews skin cells. Rebuilds collagen.

Tretinoin is the active form of vitamin A. When applied to the skin, it enters cells and activates receptors that influence how skin cells grow, divide, and mature. Over time, this can lead to faster cell turnover, increased collagen production, and smoother, more even-looking skin.

Activates retinoic acid receptors

When applied to the skin, tretinoin enters skin cells and activates genes involved in how skin cells grow, divide, and mature.

Increases collagen production

That same signal prompts cells in the deeper layer of skin (fibroblasts) to produce more collagen — the protein responsible for firmness and resilience.

Tretinoin

Boosts skin cell turnover

Tretinoin speeds up the rate at which old skin cells shed, restoring a pace of turnover that naturally slows with age and sun exposure. Over weeks to months, skin texture can smooth out, tone typically becomes more even, and fine lines may become less visible. Improvement is gradual and builds with consistent use.
