Overview A-Ret 0.025% Gel 20gm

Topical retinoid gel, A-Ret 0.025%, containing vitamin A, effectively treats acne vulgaris manifesting as pimples or blemishes on the face, chest, or back. It also refines skin texture, diminishing fine wrinkles. A-Ret 0.025% Gel regulates sebum production. As directed by your physician, apply a small amount nightly to affected areas. Treatment duration and dosage vary depending on your condition. Cleanse and dry the affected skin before applying a thin layer. Strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Significant improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after a few weeks. Increasing the frequency or amount will not hasten results and may worsen side effects. Common, generally mild, side effects include skin irritation, dryness, and redness, often subsiding with continued use. Hydration (plenty of water) and moisturizing are recommended, as dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may occur. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Serious adverse reactions are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; limit sun exposure. Skin fragility may increase. Waxing or laser treatments are contraindicated during treatment. Use is contraindicated in pregnancy or when pregnancy is planned due to the risk of birth defects.
