Acne Treatment Made Easy
Acne can be a real tough opponent. (Sometimes, you'll swear it's a bully.) To pump up the ease with which you fight it, talk to your doctor about the new RETIN-A MICRO PUMP.
At home, school or wherever life takes you, the RETIN-A MICRO PUMP makes it easy to maintain your doctor-recommended acne treatment regimen. Just wash, pump and apply. You'll get the right amount of medication every time, with less mess.
 Yet, you won't have to sacrifice effectiveness for convenience. The unique pump system delivers the exact same prescription acne medicine as the traditional RETIN-A MICRO tube. It also contains the same patented microsphere delivery system to provide low levels of irritation. Clearer skin is possible in as little as two weeks, with full results after seven. New breakouts can be prevented, too. Now, it's easier than ever.

Ask your doctor if the RETIN-A MICRO PUMP is right for you.
What it is
RETIN-A MICRO is a topical prescription acne treatment that many doctors and dermatologists consider one of the most effective to treat acne. It can start clearing up skin in as little as two weeks, with full results after seven. It even helps prevent new breakouts. RETIN-A MICRO is the only acne medication with patented microspheres that contain tretinoin, the medicine prescribed #1 by dermatologists. An innovative acne treatment, RETIN-A MICRO helps clear up skin with low levels of skin irritation. RETIN-A MICRO is available from your doctor in two strengths, so ask which one is right for you.
While both RETIN-A® (tretinoin) and RETIN- A MICRO contain the same active ingredient, only RETIN-A MICRO offers the benefits of tretinoin with the patented microsphere delivery system to provide low levels of irritation. RETIN-A MICRO is a water-based gel that can be applied immediately after you wash your face, unlike RETIN-A® (tretinoin), which requires a 20 to 30 minute waiting period. RETIN-A MICRO 0.1% also reduces the appearance of facial shine.
Although its exact mode of action is unknown, tretinoin is thought to loosen and expel existing acne plugs under the skin and prevent new blemishes from forming. The microspheres, which release the medication in RETIN-A MICRO, remain on top of the skin and are easily washed off when you shower or wash your face.
