Active ingredients: Tretinoin 0.05% w/w
Nonmedicinal ingredients: Purified Water, Carbomer, Glycerin, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Sorbic Acid, PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether Distearate, Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone Copolyol, Benzyl Alcohol, Trolamine, and Butylated Hydroxytoluene.
To use Retin-A (tretinoin) 0.05%, begin by cleansing your face with a mild, non-medicated soap and patting it dry gently. The usual dose is once daily before bedtime (or as directed by your doctor). Dispense a small amount (about the size of a pea) on your fingertip. Apply this to the affected areas, where acne lesions appear, using enough to cover the entire affected area lightly. Too much medication may irritate the skin, waste medication and will not give faster or better results. Smooth gently into the skin. Some patients may experience a slight visible residue of medication after application. Avoiding the corners of the nose, eyes, mouth and any open wounds or other areas where treatment is not intended. Spread it away from these areas when applying. After applying Retin-A 0.05%, wait a few minutes before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. Remember to consult with your healthcare professional for personalized instructions and guidance throughout the process.
If you have sensitive skin, start with every other night or every third night application. Gradually increase the frequency as tolerated, following the guidance of your healthcare professional.
