| Topical antibiotics commonly are used in conjunction with retinoids or benzoyl peroxide in patients with any degree of inflammatory acne. |
|
| Topical retinoids such as tretinoin or adapalene are effective in many patients with comedonal acne. |
|
| Endogenous retinoids have been detected in regenerating tissues from axolotls, frogs and chicks. |
|
| Because their skin is inherently irritable, patients with atopic diseases may not tolerate topical retinoids, even if they apply a moisturiser. |
|
| Another review of several case studies recommended oral and topical retinoids as second-line therapy for the treatment of flat warts. |
|
| Exfoliating scrubs and chemicals like alpha-hydroxy acids and retinoids can leave skin smooth and glowing because they eliminate dull, dead cells on the skin's surface. |
|
| Although the preclinical data have been promising, human studies using vitamin A or retinoids as chemopreventive agents have been largely disappointing. |
|
| Because some patients with atopic dermatitis or severe xerosis are very sensitive to the retinoids, we may start them with a lower strength cream or a weaker topical agent. |
|
| Topical treatment with retinoids, podophyllin resin, trichloroacetic acid, or glycolic acid, and surgical removal have been used in some refractory cases. |
|
| Other systemic therapies include monoclonal antibodies, protein specifically targeting memory T cells, fumaric acid esters, novel retinoids, and macrolactams. |
|
| Other things to avoid include retinoids, parabens and p-Phenylenediamine. |
|
| Retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A, function by slowing the desquamation process, thereby decreasing the number of comedones and microcomedones. |
|
| Retinoids, such as tretinoin, tazarotene, and adapalene, reduce pigmentation by normalizing the activation of the melanocytes in the skin. |
|
| Retinoids thin the stratum corneum, and this presents as dryness, itchiness, and desquamation. |
|
| Retinoids profoundly alter the differentiation pattern of human epidermal keratinocytes, but the underlying biochemical basis of this change is not known. |
