Product Overview:
Tretin 0.05% Cream is a topical formulation of vitamin A, primarily used to treat acne, including pimples and spots on the face, chest, and back. It also promotes smoother facial skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
This cream works by regulating excessive oil production in the skin. For optimal results, a targeted application is recommended at night, as per the duration prescribed by your healthcare provider. The frequency and amount of cream required will depend on the specific condition being treated. Before application, ensure the affected area is cleaned and dried. Apply a thin layer as directed and avoid applying to broken or damaged skin, as well as areas around the mouth, eyes, and nose. Although improvement may take several weeks, it is important to continue regular use for maximum benefit. If you do not observe any improvement within a few weeks, consult your doctor. Overuse or applying more than prescribed will not speed up results and may increase the likelihood of side effects.
Common side effects include mild irritation, dryness, and redness, which typically improve as your skin adapts to the treatment. To minimize dryness, drink plenty of fluids and use a moisturizer for dry lips, eyes, and mouth. If these effects persist or become bothersome, notify your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are rare.
This medication can increase sensitivity to sunlight, making skin more vulnerable to sun damage. Therefore, limit sun exposure during treatment. Additionally, avoid waxing or laser treatments during use. Tretin 0.05% Cream should not be used during pregnancy or by those planning to conceive, as it may cause birth defects.
