• Acne treatment (both inflammatory and non-inflammatory)
• Anti-aging therapy (reducing fine lines and improving skin tone)
• Hyperpigmentation (melasma, sunspots, post-acne marks)

How to Use Tretin Cream

Directions:

1. Cleanse: Cleanse your face using a mild cleanser, and then pat dry. Take 20-30 minutes to dry before applying.
2. Apply: Apply only a pea-sized quantity for the whole face. Apply a light coat to the part.
3. Moisturize: Use a non-fume, natural moisturizer that does not cause dryness.
4. Protect: Make sure you apply sunblock (SPF 30 or more) each day, since tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.

Frequency:

• Begin by doing each night to reduce irritation.
• Gradually increase your consumption every night as you feel comfortable.

What to Expect

Precautions

• Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Don’t apply it to cracked, sunburned, or irritated skin
• Avoid harsh skincare products (e.g., scrubs, alcohol-based toners)
• Beware of the mouth, eyes, and mucous membranes
• Be aware of sun exposure, and make sure to apply sunscreen

Possible Side Effects

Tretinoin generally is safe; however, it may irritate in the beginning. Some common side effects are:

• Dryness
• Peeling or flaking skin
• Mild redness
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Initial breakout (commonly known as “purging”)

The effects of these side effects usually diminish when your skin becomes more tolerant.

Tips for Best Results

• Make use of the mild cleanser as well as a moisture-rich moisturizer.
• Always put on an SPF broad-spectrum throughout the day.
• Apply in the evening; be careful not to apply layers of strong active ingredients (like AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide) in the absence of a recommendation from your dermatologist.
• Be consistent. Using tretinoin can be painful, but the benefits will be worth it.

Storage Instructions

• Keep the room temperatures (15–25°C / 59–77°F)
