Stieva-A
Retin A was initially developed to treat bad cases of acne, however, it has since been discovered to be useful against
skin aging and even hair loss. Retin A is available as a topical cream or gel or lotion.
Acne:
Retin A is a topical treatment that can aid teenagers or adults in the reduction of acne and the prevention of new pimples from forming.
Retin A takes time to work, results can take two to three weeks as the medication in Retin A works to remove many of the unseen pimples below the surface of the skin.
If you face scars easily Retin A can help reduce pockmark scars and help prevent new acne caused scarring.
Anti-wrinkle:
Retin A is also used, mainly by women, to help reduce wrinkles in the skin due to natural aging. It works by building up the collagen beneath the skin
to help push up the wrinkles or scars. If you have dry skin then Retin A might not be suitable for you and you should instead look for Renova which is Retin A
formulated for dry skin.
Hair Loss:
Retin A, used by itself, has been found to stimulate hair growth but Retin A is mainly used together with topical Minoxidil ( Regaine / Rogaine / Headway ).
When Retin A is first applied to the scalp and topical Minoxidil used after the concentrations of Minoxidil that are absorbed into the scalp skin increase dramatically making them a powerful team. Studies are available in the library.
Usage:
Retin A works best if applied in a thin layer across the entire face and should be applied 20 to 30 minutes after thoroughly washing your face. Retin A may make an individual more sun sensitive so applying Retin A at night is recommended.
Our generic Retin A cream ( Airol ) is manufactured in France by Pierre Fabre and comes in tubes of 20 grammes.
