How to Use:
Morning Routine:
- Apply a moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin from UV damage. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer that won’t exacerbate acne.
Nighttime Routine:
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, and gently pat skin dry.
- Wait 20-30 minutes for skin to fully dry before applying Tretinoin.
- Squeeze a small amount (about half an inch) of cream onto your fingertip. Applying more than this can increase the risk of irritation.
- Apply the cream to the affected areas, starting from your forehead, chin, and both cheeks. Gently spread the product across the entire affected area, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, and corners of the nose.
- Avoid applying to broken skin or open wounds.
Precautions:
- For topical use only.
- Follow the directions given by your physician and read the accompanying Patient Instruction leaflet for full guidelines.
- Do not apply to sensitive areas, including the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
- Do not use excessive amounts, as this will not enhance results but may cause irritation.
- Store at room temperature, below 80°F (27°C).
- Always use sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin increases skin sensitivity to sunlight.
