The science
of Tretinoin
Altreno helps increase skin cell turnover to fight acne.
Tretinoin is a powerful, prescription-strength derivative of vitamin A. The molecule treats acne by bringing new cells up from the skin’s deeper layers, helping control breakouts to increase the overall quality of skin for a brighter complexion.

Natural Collagen
