Overview A Ret 0.025% Gel
Retinoid gel, 0.025% concentration, treats severe acne (pimples) in adolescents (12+) and adults post-puberty, only when other treatments have failed. This gel decreases sebum production. Apply a small amount topically each night as directed by your physician; dosage depends on your condition. Before application, cleanse and dry the affected skin. Apply a thin layer once daily before bed. Avoid damaged skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement occurs after several weeks. Common, usually transient, side effects include skin irritation (itching, burning, peeling, redness). Report persistent or bothersome side effects. Reduced application frequency or amount may be necessary. Serious side effects are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity may occur; limit sun exposure, hydrate adequately, and use moisturizer to counteract potential dryness. Skin fragility may increase. Avoid waxing or laser treatments during use. This medication can cause birth defects; inform your doctor if pregnant or planning pregnancy.
