Tretinoin is the generic name for synthetic, first-generation all-trans-retinoic acid. Topical tretinoin first arrived on the dermatology scene in the 1960s. It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne, and in a few other FDA-approved products, to treat fine facial wrinkling, limited psoriasis, and other conditions.

Available in multiple strengths and formulations by prescription only, Obagi tretinoin creams and gel work deep inside the skin to treat acne.
Each gram contains:
Tretinoin 0.1%, stearic acid, isopropyl myristate, polyoxyl 40 stearate, stearyl alcohol, xanthan gum, sorbic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, and purified water

I was so afraid to transition from. 05% to .1%. But it has been easier than I imagined with less redness and peeling than when I went from .025% to .05%. The hyperpigmentation is definitely getting lighter. I highly recommend!
