Does Retin-A fade tattoos?

If you want a tattoo removed it needs to be done by laser. If you are using tretinoin on a area with both acne and a tattoo it will not effect the ink which is deeper in the skin.

Retin-A does not fade tattoos. Tattoo ink is in the dermis. Your best shot is to get it removed with a tattoo laser. Dr H Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
