What Tretinoin is used for:
- Tretinoin is a medicine that is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris.
- It is an inflammatory skin disorder that is known as common acne and that is caused by hair follicles that become plugged with oil and dead skin cells causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples.
Do not use Tretinoin:
- If you have an allergy to Tretinoin or any of the ingredients present in this product.
How to use Tretinoin:
- Apply your tretinoin cream once daily before bedtime, or as directed by your doctor. First, start by washing the skin with a mild soap and dry your skin gently. Then, wait 20 to 30 minutes before you apply the cream to allow your skin to be completely dry in order to reduce possible skin irritation.
- To apply tretinoin cream, squeeze around a half inch or less of medication onto your fingertip. After you gain some experience with the cream you may see that you should apply slightly more or less to apply enough of the medicine on your whole face. (The cream applied is expected to become invisible almost immediately. If the cream is still visible, you are applying more than you should).
- It is advised that you use a non-comedogenic (a product that does not worsen acne) moisturizer or a non-comedogenic moisturizer with sunscreen every morning after washing your skin.
- Avoid contact of the cream with your eyes, mouth, angles of the nose and mucous membranes in order to avoid irritation (redness or peeling) at the site of application.
