Overview Retiact 0.025% Cream

Vitamin A-based Retinact 0.025% Cream treats acne breakouts (spots and pimples) on the face, chest, and back. It also softens rough skin and diminishes fine wrinkles by regulating sebum production. For optimal results, apply a small amount nightly as directed by your physician. Treatment duration and dosage depend on your specific condition. Before application, cleanse and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer and follow your doctor's instructions precisely. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. Seek further medical advice if no improvement is seen after a few 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 (plenty of water) and moisturizer are recommended due to potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Serious side effects are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility may occur, necessitating sun protection and avoidance of waxing or laser treatments during therapy. This medication is contraindicated for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy due to potential teratogenic effects.
