Used primarily in dermatology, this compound is effective in treating acne and psoriasis. It works by regulating skin cell growth and reducing inflammation. Commonly found in topical creams and gels, it helps unclog pores, smooth rough skin, and reduce scaling and redness. It also promotes the turnover of skin cells, making it useful in anti-aging products for improving fine lines and skin texture. Due to its effect on cell differentiation, it is especially beneficial for patients with chronic skin conditions requiring long-term management.
