SummaryVesanoid, also known as Tretinoin, is a vitamin A derivative that has been given the green light for treating acne vulgaris and specific forms of promyelocytic leukemia. This drug, originating from the pharmaceutical company Bausch Health Americas, acts as a RARs agonist that helps regulate gene expression and cell differentiation in a multifaceted manner, displaying a higher level of complexity in its mechanism of action. With its initial approval in the United States in 1971, Tretinoin has been increasingly incorporated into numerous over-the-counter products, due to its demonstrated efficacy in managing a wide range of skin conditions. Because of its reliability in the management of acne vulgaris, Tretinoin has gained widespread popularity among dermatologists and individuals seeking to alleviate this all-too-common skin condition. Its continued use in contemporary medicine reinforces Tretinoin's value as a valuable weapon in the struggle against acne and other cutaneous disorders, lending credence to its ongoing utility. |
