A member asked:
Could tretinoin cause hair growth? i heard from some women who experienced facial hair growth from using it, is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Read the package insert for listed side effects. Hair loss is mentioned as well as skin changes but not specifically hair growth. Everyone's body reacts differently so it is possible that some women may have experienced what you say and that sdoes not mean all will.
