About Retino-A: Retino-A (Tretinoin) is a popular medicine used to treat acne conditions. The medicine is also used to treat ageing in patients by reducing sun spots and lines which are considered the visible signs of ageing. The medicine can be used as a combination with tropical hair loss medications to treat hair loss. This is possible because the active ingredient in drugs used to treat hair loss referred as Minoxidil becomes extra effective when mixed with tretinoin which accelerated the removal of dead cells and reproduction of new cells.
