Prescription and over-the-counter treatments for anti-aging (not for treatment of acne)
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Retinoids are a class of compounds derived from vitamin A, known for their widespread use in dermatology and skin care. They work by regulating cell growth and encouraging skin cell turnover, which helps in treating a variety of skin issues like acne, psoriasis, and signs of aging. Retinoids are effective in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone by stimulating collagen production and accelerating the shedding of older skin cells. Retinoids can be found in both prescription-strength medications and over-the-counter skin care products. Usage must often be carefully managed due to potential side effects such as skin irritation, dryness, and sensitivity to sunlight.
