    TLDR The improved tretinoin lotion effectively treats acne with minimal irritation, even in children as young as 9.
    The article discusses the use of an improved topical tretinoin formula, specifically a moisturizing lotion called "AltrenoTM," for treating mild to moderate acne. This lotion contains 0.05% micronized tretinoin, which is dissolved in a hydrogel matrix with sodium hyaluronate and marine collagen, enhancing its application comfort and minimizing irritation. The study highlights the lotion's clinical effectiveness and satisfactory tolerance across various age groups, including pediatric patients. The unique formulation allows tretinoin molecules to be reduced to the size of the sebaceous follicle opening, improving its efficacy. The lotion is approved for use in children as young as 9 years old, offering a significant advantage for dermatologists in treating acne in younger populations.
