Tretinoin and other retinoids are substantially insoluble in aqueous vehicles. Therefore, organic solvent vehicles are preferred as the liquid carrier. Alcoholic vehicles such as ethanol and isopropanol are preferred, with ethanol being most preferred. Other suitable solvent vehicles to form a solution of a retinoid include, for example, acetone, diethyl ether, liquid glycols or glycol derivatives, and hydroalcoholic vehicles.
