Trifarotene, sold under the brand name Aklief, is a medication for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.[6][8] It is a retinoid;[6][9] specifically, a fourth-generation selective retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-γ agonist.[10]

Trifarotene was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[11][12] It was approved for medical use in the United States in October 2019.[8][13][14] In December 2019, its labelling and package leaflet text received a decentralised approval for 16 European countries.[7]
