Abstract in brief

  • Retinoids are compounds related to vitamin A that influence cell growth, differentiation, and death by binding to specific proteins and activating DNA regions called retinoic acid response elements.
  • They are classified into three generations based on their molecular structures, and they are used in various medical fields, especially dermatology, for treating different skin conditions through topical or systemic applications.
  • Ongoing research and clinical trials continue to explore their mechanisms, uses, and potential adverse effects in dermatology, highlighting their importance in both treatment and scientific understanding.]
