Contact SupplierWe are offering retin a cream.
retin-a is a prescription medication that is generally used to treat acne and wrinkles. However, many women use retin-a cream for stretch marks. The cream is a form of vitamin a and is sometimes referred to as tretinoin.
Stretch marks are caused by rapid weight gain, pregnancy, muscle growth from weightlifting and certain medical conditions. They start out as red or pink marks and change to white or silver lines.
The marks form when collagen is damaged by stretching skin. Tretinoin helps increase the amount of collagen in the areas where stretch marks occur, which is why the product is helpful for treatment.
retin-a cream has to be used while the marks are still pink or red in order to be effective.
This means the cream should be applied to the skin in the first six to twelve weeks after the stretch marks appear.
Those who use retin-a cream for stretch marks may notice results as early as two to three weeks. It takes about six weeks of use to get the best reduction in stretch marks. Tretinoin should only be used as recommended. Using the cream more often than prescribed does not lead to better results.
warnings regarding the use of retin-a
while pregnant women are likely to benefit from retin-a, they should not use it until after they give birth. The cream may be absorbed through the skin, and it is unknown if it will harm an unborn child.
