Is RETIN-A cream effective for getting rid of acne scars ?

Many people find that Retin-A, which is often used to treat wrinkles, acne, and skin discolorations, is quite effective for the treatment of acne scars as well. The main ingredient in retin-a is tretinoin, which is the acid form of vitamin A. It works to improve abnormal cell production, often caused by sun damage.





Many people who use retin-a for acne scars see results within two weeks, and after a period of seven or eight weeks of continuous use, acne scars are completely gone, or greatly diminished to the point where they are barely noticeable.





While using retin-a for acne scars, you should avoid exposure to the sun, or use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15. Retin-a can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Retin-a should not be used on skin that is sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated. Do not apply retin-a to wounds, or to skin that is affected by eczema.





It is a strong medication and should be used with care. You need to get it prescribed by a dermatologist.Is RETIN-A cream effective for getting rid of acne scars ?
Hi, If you are scars are newer say 2-3 months, then you can use Retin-A. If you are scars are older say more than 3-months to years, then you should check whether it has turned to keloid scars, in that case, depends on the size and area you can avail various treatment and Kelo-cote gel in affected areas(to reduce the visibility of the scars).Is RETIN-A cream effective for getting rid of acne scars ?
