Thank you for your question. Yes tretinoin may be prescribed to help with fine lines and wrinkles, however, insurances may not cover the prescriptions for cosmetic purposes. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist regarding tretinoin therapy and for any additional questions. Take care and good luck.
