Altreno and Seysara Will Be the Latest Meds for Acne

March 2019

Altreno (tretinoin) 0.05% lotion and Seysara (sarecycline) tablets for acne will try to crowd onto your pharmacy shelves.

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...it's not planning to get Altreno on formularies. It will cost about $120/45 g.
