About Airol 0.05% Cream

TRETINOIN belongs to the class of drugs known as retinoids (synthetic or man-made vitamin A). TRETINOIN is primarily used to treat acne (pimples) and sun-damaged skin. Acne is a skin condition that is common and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.

TRETINOIN contains tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A) that loosens and unblocks pores on the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.
