Used primarily in dermatology, this compound is effective in treating acne and psoriasis. It works by normalizing skin cell turnover and reducing inflammation. In acne treatment, it helps unclog pores and prevent the formation of new comedones. For psoriasis, it slows down the rapid growth of skin cells, reducing scaling and plaque formation. It is also used in anti-aging skincare regimens due to its ability to stimulate collagen production, improving fine lines and skin texture. Typically applied topically in cream or gel form, it is often prescribed in combination with other therapies for enhanced efficacy.
