Abstract
Retinoids are a group of medications related to vitamin A. They are used to treat various inflammatory skin disorders, skin cancer, and skin ageing.
Retinoids are classified into four generations [1,2,3]:
1st generation (non-aromatic retinoids): retinol, retinal, tretinoin (retinoic acid), isotretinoin, and alitretinoin
2nd generation (mono-aromatic retinoids): etretinate (withdrawn from the market) and its metabolite acitretin
3rd generation (poly-aromatic retinoids): adapalene, bexarotene, and tazarotene
4th generation retinoid: trifarotene.
