Obagi Tretinoin 0.05% Cream
Targeted Retinoid Treatment for Acne, Fine Lines & Uneven Texture
Obagi Tretinoin 0.05% Cream is a dermatologist-recommended, prescription-only retinoid formulation that improves acne, smooths rough skin texture, and visibly reduces fine lines. Using a mid-strength concentration of tretinoin—a clinically proven vitamin A derivative—this cream helps accelerate cell turnover, clear blocked pores, and stimulate collagen production for a healthier, brighter complexion. Ideal for users looking to step up their retinoid routine without jumping to the highest strength.
This product requires a prescription. Medical Assessment required.
