Description:
Retin is used to treat acne. It works partly by keeping skin pores clear. One of the tretinoin creams is used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face caused by damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin layers with newer skin, and by slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun. Retin works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun. However, it does not completely or permanently erase these skin problems or greatly improve more obvious changes in the skin, such as deep wrinkles caused by sun or the natural aging process.
Retin may also be used to treat other skin diseases as determined by your doctor. Retin is available only with your doctor s prescription, in cream, gel and topical solution.
Precautions:
During the first 3 weeks of use, your skin may become irritated. Also, your acne may seem to get worse before it gets better. It may take longer than 12 weeks before you notice full improvement of your acne, even if you use Retin every day. Check with your health care professional at any time skin irritation becomes severe of if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.
It is very important that you use Retin only as directed. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may cause irritation of the skin. Do not apply Retin to windburned or sunburned skin or open wounds.
Do not use Retin in or around the eyes or lips or inside of the nose. Spread the medicine away from these areas when applying. If Retin accidentally gets in these areas, wash with water at once. Read all directions carefully.
Before applying, wash the skin with a mild soap or cleanser and warm water using the tips of your fingers. Then gently pat dry. Do not scrub your face with a sponge or washcloth. Wait 20-30 minutes before applying Retin to make sure skin is completely dry. Applying to wet skin can irritate the skin.
Unless the doctor tells you otherwise, it is especially important to avoid using the following skin products on the same area as Retin: Any other topical acne product containing a peeling agent such as benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, or sulfur; hair products that are irritating; skin products that cause sensitivity to the sun, such as those containing lime or spices; skin products containing a large amount of alcohol, such as astringents, shaving creams, or after shave lotions; skin products that are too drying or abrasive.
