All about Vitanol A

If you suffer from wrinkles, expression marks, acne, skin blemishes and even stretch marks, tretinoin treatment can be effective. Tretinoin is a retinoid indicated for the treatment of various skin problems and marketed under the name of Vitanol A.

What is Vitanol A and how does it work?

The drug is available in gel and cream, and it is the role of the dermatology professional to define which of the two formulas is most suitable in each case. Oily skin, for example, usually reacts better to the gel product.

Dermatologist Helena Zantut explains that this medication “is very old, it is topical retinoic acid”, that is, it should be used externally and not ingested. She says that Vitanol A “improves fine wrinkles, but it has to be used under the supervision of a dermatologist”.

Are there any risks arising from the use of Vitanol A?

Helena explains that, like any other dermatological treatment, consultation with a professional is essential for satisfactory results. In addition, it is important not to overuse it, according to the dermatologist: “use it for a short time, otherwise it is already proven that it can thin the skin, break blood vessels that permeate it and, in addition, cause wrinkles, due to to the constant inflammation caused by retinoic acid (tretinoin)”.

She also points out that the dosage needs special attention, so that the skin is not harmed. “If used at a very high dosage, Vitanol A can irritate, stain more, flake off, among other problems,” she says.

Another factor that cannot be left out is the use of sunscreen throughout the treatment. Since the skin will be thinner due to the acid, giving up the protector can be a serious mistake, causing bruises and even burns.

The dermatologist’s recommendations should be strictly followed. Some professionals will recommend daily use, while others will advocate one-day intervals between applications – which is why it is so important to follow up with an expert.

It is also essential to remove the product with a neutral soap (or a soap specially indicated by the professional) every day in the morning.
