(TRETINOIN - TOPICAL)

USES
Retin-A is used in the treatment of acne. It reduces the formation of pimples and promotes quick healing of pimples that do develop.

HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION
Patient instructions are available with Retin-A. Read them carefully BEFORE USING (Know Before you Buy Online). Apply a thin layer of Retin-A to affected area at bedtime. Use a gauze pad or cotton swab to apply the liquid. Wash hands immediately after use. Using this medication more frequently or in excessive amounts does not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication can irritate sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when the medication is first used; do not discontinue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before the full benefits of this medication are seen.

This medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known if tretinoin appears in breast milk so consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Use mild soap when washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase skin irritation; check with your doctor or pharmacist about their use. Use other acne preparations with caution while using this medication.
