What is tretinoin used for:

• Tretinoin is a medication used to treat acne.
• Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder that results when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples.
• The safety and effectiveness of long-term use of this medicine in treating other diseases has not been established.

Do not use tretinoin:

• If you are allergic to tretinoin or any of the ingredients in this product.

How to use tretinoin:

• Gently wash your skin with a gentle, non-medicated soap two to three times daily, then pat the skin dry with a towel. Let your skin dry 20 to 30 minutes before applying the medication. Avoid washing the affected area frequently and do not use harsh scrubs. Acne isn't caused by dirt, so excessive washing and scrubbing won't clear it up. Too frequent washing or too harsh scrubbing can exacerbate acne.

• Make sure to use your cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor for the best results. Be patient during your treatment because this medication may take some time to start working. Many patients started seeing effects 12 weeks after starting the medication. Therefore, it is very important not to follow the instructions given for other products or by your friends and not to stop using your medication without talking to your doctor first.

• Apply tretinoin cream once daily before bed, or as directed by your doctor. Your doctor, especially if you have sensitive skin, may recommend that you apply tretinoin every other night while you start treatment. First, start by washing the skin with a gentle soap and gently drying your skin. Then, wait 20 to 30 minutes before applying the cream to allow your skin to dry completely to reduce potential skin irritation.

• To apply tretinoin cream, place about 1/2 inch or less of the medication into your fingertip. After you gain some experience with the cream, you may see that you have to apply more or less to apply enough medicine to your entire face. It is expected that the cream will immediately become invisible and visible. If the cream is still showing, you're applying too much. In order to lightly cover the affected skin area with tretinoin cream, start by applying it to your chin, forehead, and both cheeks, then spread the cream over the entire affected skin area, then gently smooth the applied cream into your skin.

• It is recommended that you use a non-comedogenic moisturizer (a product that does not aggravate acne) or a non-comedogenic moisturizer with sunscreen every morning after washing your skin.

• Avoid contact of the cream with your eyes, mouth, corners of the nose and mucous membranes to avoid irritation (redness or crusting) at the application site.
