🧬 What Is A Ret Gel 0.1% Used For?

Tretinoin works by stimulating rapid skin cell turnover, reducing inflammation, clearing clogged pores, and increasing collagen production. At 0.1% concentration, the effects are most pronounced but so is the potential for skin irritation.

The gel base ensures fast absorption and is particularly suitable for oily, acne-prone skin types. This strength is typically recommended for patients who have already used lower concentrations (0.025% or 0.05%) for several months and still require stronger therapeutic effects.
