Tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, is often used for skin conditions like acne and aging but is also sometimes part of melasma treatments to speed up skin cell turnover and lighten dark patches. However, it's usually not sufficient as a standalone treatment for melasma, especially for Asian skin, as they are more prone to hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to the higher melanin content. Tretinoin can cause skin irritation and increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, which could potentially worsen melasma or cause additional pigmentation issues if not used carefully. In this video, Dr. Chiam shafs more about what other alternative treatment is available to treat this condition. #tiktoksg #doctorsoftiktok #learningisfun #medicaltiktok #retinol #retinoid #vitamina #tretinoin #skincareproducts #chemicalpeel #congestedskin #healthyskin #clearskin #drkenneththean #drkt #drchiam #drchiamchiakteng #drct #driennardchan #drchan #ensoul #ensoulmedicalclinic #ensoulmedical #ensoulclinic #medical #aesthetic #singapore #clinic #Isgclinic #skinhealth #tiktoksg #sgtiktok #sgfyp #Ifypsg #singapore #sg #aestheticclinic #aestheticclinicsingapore #skincare #beauty #lskincareroutine #tskincare101 #skincaretips #beauty #beautytips #fyp #melasmatreatment #melasma #hyperpigmentation #hyperpigmentationtreatment #pigmentationtreatment #pigmentation #acne #aging #antiaging Tel: +65 6836 2833 Whatsapp: +65 8878 0300 Email: info@ensoulclinic.com For more information, visit www.ensoulclinic.com
