Overview A-Ret 0.1% Gel

Topical tretinoin 0.1% gel, a retinoid derived from vitamin A, effectively addresses acne vulgaris manifesting as pimples or blemishes on the face, chest, or back. This treatment also improves skin texture, minimizing the appearance of fine wrinkles. By regulating sebum production, the gel helps control acne. For optimal results, apply a small amount to affected areas nightly, as directed by your physician. Treatment duration and dosage vary depending on the specific condition being treated. Before application, cleanse and dry the skin. Apply a thin layer and follow your doctor's precise instructions. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Significant improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. If you observe no improvement after several weeks, consult your doctor. Increasing dosage or frequency won't accelerate results and may worsen side effects. Common, generally mild, side effects include skin irritation, dryness, and redness, often subsiding with continued use. Hydration with water and moisturizer is recommended to counteract potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Severe adverse reactions are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure. Skin fragility may increase. Waxing or laser treatments should be avoided during treatment. This medication is contraindicated for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects.
