What are Tretinoin creams?

Back to FAQs

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is a powerful Vitamin A derivative with anti-aging properties that can also help with acne and acne scars. It works by encouraging skin cell turnover for brighter, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Defy Medical offers three strengths of Tretinoin TAN Cream:

  • Sensitive: For delicate skin or those new to strong retinoids
  • Mild: For moderate tolerance
  • Strong: For experienced retinol users

All formulas contain the same ingredients at varying strengths: Tretinoin, Azelaic Acid, and Niacinamide (B3).
