The active ingredient of our 0.025 % cream is Retinoic acid (tretinoin).
Other ingredients:
-- Vigna Aconitifolia Extract
-- Isopropyl Myristate
-- Lecithin
-- Tocopherol
-- Distilled water and cream base.
Tretinoin initially makes the skin dry. This effect usually disappears or lessens with long term application.
In general, the higher the percentage of Tretinoin, the more drying it is, initially.
You have to moisturize a lot when using Tretinoin. For example, wet a cotton pad with tap water, add some almond oil and apply it to your face.

If you are young, not prone to acne and no problems with spots or pigmentation, there is no reason applying Tretinoin creams on your face on regular basis.
