A RET 0.25% (Tretinoin (0.025% w/w))

A-Ret Gel 0.025% is a topical medication derived from vitamin A, utilized in the treatment of acne, which manifests as blemishes or pimples on the face, chest, or back. In addition to addressing acne, this gel assists in smoothing rough skin texture and minimizing the appearance of fine lines. The formulation works by decreasing the overproduction of oil in the skin, which is a contributing factor to acne development. It is recommended to apply the gel directly to the affected areas in a thin layer, preferably in the evening, following the specific duration and dosage advised by your healthcare provider. Before application, ensure to cleanse and dry the targeted areas adequately. Adhere to your doctor’s guidance for optimal results. It is important to avoid using the gel on broken or compromised skin and to keep it away from sensitive areas, such as the mouth, eyes, and nose. Noticeable improvements may take a few weeks, so continue with the treatment as prescribed. If there is no progress after a couple of weeks, consult your healthcare professional for further advice. Increasing the frequency or amount of gel used will not expedite results and may enhance the risk of adverse reactions. Common adverse effects, which are typically mild and diminish as your body adjusts, may include skin irritation, dryness, and redness. Staying hydrated and using a moisturizer can help mitigate dryness associated with the treatment. Report any persistent or bothersome symptoms to your doctor. Serious side effects are infrequent. Additionally, this gel may increase your sensitivity to sunlight, so limiting sun exposure is advised. Avoid hair removal waxing and laser procedures while undergoing this treatment. Women who are pregnant or planning to conceive should refrain from using this product due to the potential risk of birth defects.
