🧬 What is A Ret Gel 0.025% Used For?

A Ret Gel 0.025%, manufactured by Menarini India Pvt Ltd, is a dermatological topical treatment that contains Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A (retinoic acid). It is primarily used for the treatment of acne vulgaris, fine wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.

Tretinoin works by increasing skin cell turnover, unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen production. Its low strength (0.025%) makes it suitable for beginners and individuals with sensitive skin. Regular use under medical supervision improves skin tone, reduces blackheads and whiteheads, and slows down the formation of acne scars.

Menarini’s gel formulation allows for faster absorption and less greasiness, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types. It is also widely used in anti-aging skincare routines and chemical peel regimens.
