It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne, and in a few other FDA-approved products (which does not apply to obagi tretinoin products) as an adjunctive agent to treat fine facial wrinkling for patients who use comprehensive skincare and sun avoidance programs. Prescription required. Available in multiple strengths and formulations by prescription only, Obagi tretinoin creams and gel work deep inside the skin to treat acne.
