Description:
Refissa, a new topical formulation of Tretinoin, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Refissa is the only 0.05% prescription strength, fragrance-free, emollient-based Tretinoin Cream specifically indicated for dry skin. This topical Tretinoin cream helps to reduce fine facial wrinkles, rough skin and irregular pigmentation.
Most dermatologists view topical retinoids as the cornerstone of treatment for sun damaged skin and acne. Most retinoids, however, are formulated and indicated exclusively for the treatment of acne.
Among topical retinoids, Tretinoin is the "Gold Standard" of treatments, and Refissa, formulated in a moisturizing base, is an ideal option for mature patients with drier photo damaged skin. Sunscreen should be used in conjunction with retinoid products, including Refissa.
In the interest of fair balance, it should be noted that there are other FDA-approved Tretinoin products on the market, such as Renova and Retin-A. Those products differ in their formulation, indication and price. A 20 gram tube of Refissa may last 2-3 months, depending on individual usage patterns and costs on average, less than $1.00 per day.
Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing and consult your Dr before using this product. |
