🧬 What is A Ret Gel 0.1% Used For?

A Ret Gel 0.1%, produced by Menarini India Pvt Ltd, is a high-strength Tretinoin gel used in dermatology for treating severe acne, acne scarring, photoaging, and persistent hyperpigmentation. As the most potent formulation in the A Ret line, it is ideal for users who have built a tolerance to lower concentrations like 0.025% or 0.05%.

Tretinoin works by stimulating skin cell turnover, reducing inflammation, clearing clogged pores, and increasing collagen production. This strength is typically recommended for those under dermatologist supervision due to its high potential for skin irritation and purging.

The gel base ensures fast absorption and suitability for oily, acne-prone skin.
