RETINOIC ACID (ALL TRANS-) POWDER (TRETINOIN) USP

Safety Data Sheet

Retinoic acid (used simplified here for all-trans-retinoic acid) is a metabolite of vitamin A1 (all-trans-retinol) that mediates the functions of vitamin A1 required for growth and development. All-trans-retinoic acid is required in chordate animals, which includes all higher animals from fish to humans. Retinoic acid (all trans-) powder, also known as Tretinoin, is a medication used to treat acne, fine wrinkles, and dark spots on the skin. It works by increasing cell turnover and reducing the production of sebum, the oily substance that can clog pores. Tretinoin is also used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia and other types of cancer. This powder form of the medication is typically used in compounding pharmacies to create customized topical creams and gels. It should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
