tortoiseshell9 2 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The FDA recently approved this new retinol called Aklief/trifarotene. It’s the first new retinol in like 20 years and it’s supposed to work a bit different than the older ones. About a month and a half ago my tret.05% prescription was changed to aklief. It seems to be doing it’s job in preventing/clearing acne but i’m also concerned with whether or not it helps remodeling scars like tretinoin or tazorac or whatever. I can’t find much information about it online because it’s so new. Are any of you using this instead of tret? Have you noticed it doing anything for your scars? I’m curious but I kind of wish i could have just stayed on something i knew would work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
