What is tretinoin?

Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A, also known as all-trans-retinoic acid. When applied to the skin, it reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes acne-prone skin, and helps keep your pores open. Tretinoin works by irritating the skin. Tretinoin is able to speed up the life cycle of skin cells. It makes them divide faster and die faster, so newer, healthier cells can take their place.

To treat blood cancer, it works by slowing the growth of certain types of diseased blood cells and promotes the growth of normal, mature cells in the bone marrow and blood. This helps to treat blood cancer (acute promyelocytic leukemia).
