A member asked:
Does tretinoin work better for scars or stretch marks better than things like scarfade or mederma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tretinoin for scars: Retin-A (tretinoin) is a topical derivative of vitamin A that is most commonly used to treat acne, but also has several properties that may help fade discolored skin and certain types of scars. If you are looking for a more conservative approach to treating your scars than lasers or surgery, Retin-A may be a good option for you.
