All-Trans Retinoic Acid or Tretinoin has become one of the most effective ways to treat skin discoloration when combined with Hydroquinone  or azelaic acid.  Use of tretinoin alone can take a much longer time than if used in conjunction with these other substances. It’s key function is to help produce collagen, elastin and assist in skin cell regeneration.

This can have a direct impact on skin discoloration because this discoloration or hyperpigmentation is often due to a breakdown in the regulators of skin color within the skin. Collagen, moisture and other ingredients that are used to maintain consistent color are damaged by the sun over time and use of Tretinoin can help combat these effects and be a valuable part of any aging skin care regimen.
