Overview Ontin Cream

A topical retinoid cream, Ontin, treats acne blemishes on the face, chest, and back. It also improves skin texture, minimizing wrinkles and excess oil production. For optimal results, apply a small amount nightly to clean, dry skin as directed by your physician. Treatment duration and quantity depend on your specific condition. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Increased frequency or dosage won't accelerate results and may worsen side effects. Common, usually mild, side effects include skin irritation, dryness, and redness, often subsiding with continued use. Hydration and moisturizer are recommended to counteract dryness. Report persistent or bothersome side effects. While rare, serious side effects are possible. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility may occur; limit sun exposure and avoid waxing or laser treatments. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive women should not use this medication.
