Mechanism of Action

Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, works by:

• Promoting skin cell turnover and encouraging the shedding of old skin cells.
• Reducing the formation of comedones (clogged pores) and improving the overall texture and tone of the skin.
• Exerting anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce acne lesions and prevent future breakouts.

Dosage

• Application: Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected areas once daily, preferably in the evening, after cleansing the skin.
• Duration: Treatment duration may vary; consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
• Administration: Use clean hands to apply the cream and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Usage

• Indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 years and older.
• Avoid using other topical acne products concurrently unless advised by a dermatologist.
• It is essential to wash the face gently and pat it dry before applying the cream.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Redness or irritation at the application site
• Dryness or peeling of the skin
• Burning or stinging sensations

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

• Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness)
• Persistent or worsening skin irritation

If any severe side effects occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.

Recommendations

• Start with a lower frequency of application (every other night) to assess skin tolerance, especially for sensitive skin types.
• Protect the skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and other harsh skin treatments while using tretinoin.
• Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and products being used to avoid potential interactions.

Important Note
