What is tretinoin?

The health hub Cleveland Clinic explains that tretinoin is an acne medication used externally (not taken by mouth) and belongs to a group of medications called retinoids.

Possible side effects include allergic reactions (such as itching, skin rash and hives), burning, peeling of treated skin, or a change in skin colour.

When seeking more information about the above medication, it is important to speak to a doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare provider.

The viral video (which currently has over a million views) had many social media users rushing to the comment section with queries on how the woman managed to get flawless skin after struggling with acne.
