OBAGI - Tretinoin 0.05%

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.

How to Apply

Use in the evening on clean, dry skin. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to the face, avoiding the eye area, lips, and corners of the nose. Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Use daily sunscreen in the morning, as tretinoin increases sensitivity to UV exposure.
