How to use Tretinoin gel

It is essential to prepare the skin before using the gel. Remove the makeup and clean your face with a mild skin cleanser. Wait a few minutes after cleaning the face until the skin is dry, then proceed to the next step.

Follow the recommendations given below:

• Do not apply too much gel on your skin, and don’t use it more than once daily; it will not enhance its efficiency;
• Distribute the gel evenly on the affected area of your skin and around it;
• It is recommended to massage the skin while applying the gel;
• Moisturize your skin when dryness or peeling appears; use sunscreen and nourishing masks;
• Don’t worry if you experience an exacerbation of inflammation during the first weeks of therapy; this process is normal.

Using gel regularly following the manufacturer's recommendations is important to get the best results. Usually, the product is applied in the evening when you have no makeup on. Remember that improvement of the skin condition takes time, so be patient.

During Tretinoin Gel for acne use, you can put on makeup and apply your favorite moisturizers. Give preference to non-comedogenic products. If you have any doubts, consult a doctor or pharmacist to find the best option.

Missed Dose

Try to avoid dosing mistakes, like doubling or missing a dose. Nothing terrible will happen if you can’t or forget to apply the gel once. Just skip this dose and use another one as scheduled the next day.

Precautions

You should consider the precautions listed below when using this product:

1. Avoid contact with sensitive areas.

Exclude Tretinoin Gel getting into the eyes, eyelids, nostrils, and mouth. In the event of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water to avoid irritation and discomfort.

2. Do not use several skin care products at once.

Please wait if you use other products. Your skin needs time to recover to avoid irritation.

3. Protect yourself from the sun and UV.

Sun exposure may lead to additional skin irritation. It is important to minimize sun exposure when using the gel. However, if you can’t avoid being in the sun, use sunscreen and a hat.

4. Take a pause after the sunburn treatment.

If you have a sunburn, wait till your skin fully recovers before starting or continuing acne treatment. If you spend the whole day in the sun, do not use this gel in the evening.

Use of Tretinoin Gel during pregnancy

Although Tretinoin Gel is usually applied on face skin and systemic absorption is minimal, it is not recommended to use it during pregnancy without consulting your doctor.

Possible side effects

The active ingredient Tretinoin acts on the skin surface or in the stratum corneum and is practically not absorbed into the bloodstream. Thus, most side effects are local and appear on the skin. The most common are the following:

1. Dryness

Dry skin is one of the most frequent adverse reactions when using Tretinoin Gel. It is related to the work of the active ingredient, which draws out excess sebum. The effect disappears after a few days as the skin gets used to the product.

2. Redness

Some people may notice redness in the areas of the gel application. Tretinoin stimulates blood circulation and cell renovation, so redness appears. However, this effect may indicate that you use too much gel.

3. Peeling

The side effect is associated with exfoliating the top layer of skin and stimulating cell renovation. It is recommended to use moisturizers to manage peeling.

4. Intensification of sensitivity to the sun

Renewed skin is more sensitive to UV light, so it’s important to use sunscreen and limit time spent in the sun before going outside.

5. Allergic reactions

Some people may experience allergic reactions to Tretinoin and other gel ingredients. It may manifest as itching, redness, rash, or edema. If you have the symptoms described above, stop using the product and consult with your doctor.
