Benefits of Tretiva Capsule
Tretiva 20 Capsule helps control and treat acne by lowering the production of sebum, a natural oil in the skin that contributes to acne formation. By reducing sebum, it also prevents the growth of acne-causing bacteria and helps to clear up existing pimples. In some cases, acne may initially worsen before improving, but with regular and proper use, the skin becomes clearer. Clearer skin often boosts self-esteem and confidence.
