Overview A-Ret 0.1% Gel 20gm
Retinoid cream, 0.1% concentration, is a topical vitamin A derivative indicated for acne vulgaris manifesting as blemishes or pimples on the face, torso, or back. It also offers benefits in smoothing rough skin texture and diminishing fine lines. This retinoid cream regulates excessive sebum production. Application is ideally targeted, at night, as directed by your physician. Treatment duration and dosage vary according to the specific condition. Before application, cleanse and dry the affected area, applying a thin layer. Adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Significant improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is key. If no improvement is observed after several weeks, consult your physician. Increasing frequency or dosage will not expedite results and may exacerbate side effects. Common side effects include mild skin irritation, dryness, and redness, often subsiding with continued use. Hydration and moisturizing are advised, as dryness of the mucous membranes may occur. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Severe adverse reactions are infrequent. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure. Skin fragility may increase. Waxing or laser treatments are contraindicated during treatment. This medication is contraindicated in pregnancy or for women planning pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects.
