Love retinol but wish it worked harder? A tretinoin skincare routine might be exactly what your skin’s been waiting for. Known as all-trans retinoic acid, tretinoin is part of the retinoid family—vitamin A derivatives that also include retinol. But here’s the thing: retinol simply can’t do what tretinoin can. While retinol needs to be converted by the skin into its active form, tretinoin is already active, making it faster, stronger, and more effective.

So what makes tretinoin such a skincare powerhouse? For starters, it tackles a wide range of skin concerns—from acne and breakouts to fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and stubborn dark spots. Tretinoin works by accelerating cellular turnover, encouraging skin cells to shed more quickly and be replaced with healthy, new ones. The result? Brighter, clearer, more even-toned skin that looks and feels rejuvenated.

But it doesn’t stop there. Tretinoin also prevents clogged pores, which helps keep acne at bay, while simultaneously boosting collagen production—improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines over time. In essence, tretinoin offers the benefits of multiple products in one powerful step. It’s no wonder so many dermatologists and skin experts center entire regimens around this potent ingredient.
