Obagi Tretinoin 0.1% Cream
Prescription-Strength Retinoid for Acne, Fine Lines & Skin Renewal
Obagi Tretinoin 0.1% Cream is a potent, prescription-only retinoid designed to treat persistent acne and visible signs of skin aging. Featuring a high concentration of pure tretinoin—a derivative of vitamin A—this advanced cream promotes cell turnover to clear pores, smooth uneven skin texture, and soften the look of fine lines and discoloration. Suitable for those with more resistant skin types, this formulation is often recommended for users who have already built up retinoid tolerance.
Available by prescription only. Medical Assessment required.
Core Benefits
Clears and Prevents Breakouts
Accelerates skin cell turnover to unclog pores and reduce acne flare-ups.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen synthesis to improve skin elasticity and reduce early signs of aging.
Evens Out Skin Tone and Texture
Minimizes the appearance of dark spots, roughness, and post-acne marks over time.
Formulated for Advanced Users
Ideal for individuals who are accustomed to retinoids and ready for higher-strength care.
Directions for Use
Use once daily in the evening. After cleansing and drying the face thoroughly, apply a pea-sized amount of cream to the affected areas, avoiding the eyes, lips, and corners of the nose. Follow with a moisturizer to reduce dryness. Always apply sunscreen in the morning, as tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.
