Why can the tretionin cream improve the skin texture? does this mean the tretinoin will help thicken the skin and improve pores?

Actually yes: The retinoid acid in tretinoin cream causes a thickening of the epidermis, which will tighten pores, reduce wrinkles, its one of the best anti-aging products available other than sunscreen
