[Research] Dr Dray said tretinoin can turn pre-cancerous cells back to normal healthy cells. Any sources?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
In one of her YouTube videos, Dr Dray said that most sunlight damage occurs in childhood – and such damage is cumulative. Sure. However, she also mentioned that UV damage results in the formation of "dormant" (my understanding) pre-cancerous cells that can become cancerous later in life. She said, however, that tretinoin can allegedly reverse this and instruct the pre-cancer cells to turn back into normal healthy cells.Is there any research proving this? Apart from some vague cancer prevention, I could not find anything that specifically mentions tretinoin could undo UV damage and stop dormant cancer.PS: I can't link the video wherein Dr Dray mentioned this as I just remember her saying this – but she speaks about sunscreens and tretinoin in basically every video of hers and since she uploads daily (still can't grasp how she manages to do that), I can't find the video wherein she specifically mentioned this.
