Overview

Menthol + tretinoin + zinc oxide is a topical combination pharmaceutical product marketed as **DERMAWERX ZMT PAK**. It is a kit-based formulation manufactured for Rouses Point Pharmaceuticals that combines tretinoin, a small-molecule retinoid used as the principal anti-acne agent, with menthol as an external analgesic and anti-itch component and zinc oxide as a skin protectant. In this combination, tretinoin drives the therapeutic effect in acne vulgaris by normalizing epidermal differentiation and accelerating turnover of follicular epithelial cells, thereby promoting comedolysis and reducing acne lesion formation, while menthol and zinc oxide provide supportive topical symptom-relief and barrier-protective functions. The tretinoin component is applied once daily at bedtime to affected skin, and the overall product is intended for external topical use only.
