Ingredients
In addition, to the Vitamin A derivative retinoic acid, Obagi tretinoin gel 0.05% contains:
Sodium Hyaluronate – Has all the benefits of hyaluronic acid, with an extra advantage – it’s more easily absorbed than hyaluronic acid. Has the ability to bind and hold onto significant amounts of water. Glycerin – used as a lubricant and humectant. Glycerin attracts water to skin and helps skin to feel softer and smoother.
Trolamine – helps calm inflammation.
Soluble Collagen,- increases the moisture content of the skin
