It helps your immune system fight off infection and illness, it helps you to see in dim light, and it maintains the mucous membranes in your nose and mouth. It's also needed for healthy skin.

Tretinoin has been used as an acne treatment since the 1970s. It was the first retinoid, sold as a branded medication called Retin-A. After being researched further, it was found to even pigmentation, speed up the turnover of new skin cells, and help actinic keratosis spots (rough, scaly skin) fade.
