Common Use
A-Ret is a topical gel used primarily to treat acne by promoting skin cell turnover and preventing the formation of new pimples. It is also sometimes prescribed to reduce fine wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and rough skin texture caused by sun damage.
Dosage and Direction
Apply a thin layer of A-Ret to the affected area once daily, preferably at night, on clean and dry skin. Avoid using large amounts as this will not increase effectiveness but may raise the risk of irritation.
Precautions
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skincare products while using A-Ret, as tretinoin increases skin sensitivity. Always apply sunscreen during the day, and consult your doctor before combining with other topical treatments.
Contraindications
Do not use A-Ret if you are allergic to tretinoin or other retinoids. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless explicitly prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Possible Side Effect
Common side effects include redness, peeling, dryness, burning, or increased sensitivity of the skin. In rare cases, severe irritation or allergic reactions may occur and require medical attention.
Drug Interaction
Avoid using A-Ret with products containing alcohol, menthol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide, as these may cause excessive irritation. Consult your doctor if you are using other prescription or over-the-counter skin medications.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one — do not double the application to make up for it.
Overdose
An overdose of topical tretinoin is unlikely but may cause excessive skin irritation, redness, or peeling. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical assistance.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15–25°C), away from moisture and direct light. Keep tightly closed and out of reach of children.
