A RET 0.05% (Tretinoin (0.05% w/w))

A RET GEL 0.05% is a topical medication commonly used to help manage certain skin conditions, particularly those related to acne and signs of aging. It supports patients by improving the overall appearance and texture of the skin, making it smoother and more radiant over time. The active ingredient, Tretinoin, is a derivative of Vitamin A, which works at a cellular level to promote skin cell turnover and help unclog pores.

Tretinoin helps to foster the growth of new skin cells while encouraging the shedding of old, dead skin cells. This process can lead to clearer skin and may reduce the visibility of fine lines and blemishes. Consistent use over time may enhance the skin’s overall tone and texture, contributing to a healthier-looking complexion.

For best results, it is advisable to store the gel in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Regular application as directed is important for achieving optimal effects. Patients should also be mindful of sun exposure and consider using sunscreen, as Tretinoin can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Some common, mild side effects may include skin irritation, redness, dryness, or peeling, especially when first starting the treatment. These effects often improve as the skin adjusts to the medication.
