What tretinoin gel is used for

Tretinoin is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. It influences the renewal of skin cells and helps prevent the formation of clogged pores. The response develops gradually; temporary worsening of inflammatory lesions can occur during the first weeks of treatment. The treatment plan and duration should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.

A-Ret 0.1% is a high-strength tretinoin preparation. It should not be selected or used solely on the basis of online information. A clinician can assess whether this concentration is appropriate for the patient’s skin, current treatment and tolerance.

How to use

Use A-Ret Gel exactly as directed by your doctor and follow the leaflet supplied with the package. General prescribing information for topical tretinoin recommends applying a thin layer to clean, dry affected skin, usually once daily in the evening. Do not apply more often or use a thicker layer in an attempt to obtain faster results, as this may increase irritation without improving effectiveness.

• Wash the treatment area gently with a mild, non-medicated cleanser and pat dry.
• Apply only the amount prescribed in a thin layer over the affected area.
• Keep the gel away from the eyes, lips, corners of the nose and other mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to broken, eczematous or sunburned skin.
• Wash hands after application unless the hands are the treated area.

Sun exposure and skincare

Tretinoin can increase sensitivity to ultraviolet light. Minimize unnecessary exposure to sunlight and sunlamps. When exposure cannot be avoided, use suitable sun protection and protective clothing as advised by your healthcare professional. Wind and cold may also irritate treated skin.

Use caution with abrasive cleansers, scrubs, alcohol-based products, astringents and other drying or peeling products. Acne preparations containing benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol or salicylic acid may increase irritation when combined with tretinoin. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to separate or combine topical products safely.

Possible side effects

Common local reactions associated with topical tretinoin include dryness, redness, peeling, scaling, warmth, burning or stinging. These reactions are often most noticeable during the initial period of treatment. If irritation is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, blistering or signs of allergy, stop using the product and contact a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and medical advice

Tell your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Also discuss eczema, sunburn, allergies and all prescription, non-prescription and cosmetic products used on the skin. This is a medicine for individual use and should not be shared with another person.

Storage and packaging

Store in the original tightly closed package, protected from inappropriate heat and out of the reach of children. Follow the storage temperature and expiry information printed on the package and in the manufacturer’s leaflet. Do not use after the stated expiry date or if the tube or seal is damaged.
