M L Elson. Int J Fertil Womens Med. 1998 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Tretinoin (all trans-retinoic acid) is extensively used in the treatment of acne as Retin-A; of photoaging as Renova; and in the treatment of striae distensae. The indications, rationale, and clinical observations are discussed in detail so that these may be instituted in the practice of female health.
