Don't Buy the Hype About New Acne Meds Altreno and Seysara

Altreno (tretinoin) 0.05% lotion and Seysara (sarecycline) tablets will be two new meds vying for a spot in the management of acne.

Altreno (al-TREN-oh) is the first tretinoin lotion. It will be promoted as "hydrating," since it has collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Expect a pricing twist from the manufacturer...they're not planning to get Altreno covered by insurers. It will cost about $120/45 g.
