Atralin Gel

April 20th, 2008

Atralin gel is the newest branded retinoid to hit the acne market. Retinoids are a key component to any acne regimen and help mainly by normalizing keratinization. In other words, it helps the skin to slough off in the normal way in an effort to prevent blocking of pores. Dermatologists agree that retinoids, including Atralin gel are a key component both treating active ance as well as preventing futher breakouts.

While the benefits of retinoids, which include Differin gel and cream, Retin-a Microgel, Tazorec gel and cream, and now Atralin gel are well known, one of the potential drawbacks of these topical medications is their tendency to create dryness and irritation.

Atralin differs from its retinoid predecessors by including ingredients that attempt to combat dryness and even try and moisturize the skin. These ingredients include slouble collagen and Sodium Hyaluronate, both of which are moisturizers and glycerine which is a humectant and can help retain water and softness to the skin.

So, if you’re looking for the power of a retinoid with a more gentle gel, ask your dermatologist about Atralin gel.
