Tretinoin is a medicine that is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris; an inflammatory skin disorder that is known as common acne and that is caused by hair follicles that become plugged with oil and dead skin cells causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples.

Do not use Tretinoin:

If you have an allergy to Tretinoin or any of the ingredients present in this product.

Warnings and Precautions:

Stop the medication right away and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you develop any allergic or skin reactions to any of the ingredients present in this gel such as skin itchiness, skin redness, shortness of breath, skin rash, swelling of the face or neck, decreased blood pressure and dizziness.
This medicine is designed for external topical use only. Do not swallow this product.
Keep the tube tightly closed.
This medicine may cause redness, swelling, crusting and peeling at the site of application.
Some patients may also find that their skin starts to take on a blush.
These skin reactions do not occur with all patients and are more likely to happen during the first days of treatment and usually subside when your skin starts adapting to the medicine (within 2 to 4 weeks).
You can minimize the risk of experiencing these side effects by strictly following the instructions provided.
Talk to your doctor if your skin reactions are bothering you or if they do not subside after some time, your doctor may recommend that you use this medicine less frequently, or to completely stop using it.
Tretinoin may cause severe irritation on skin body areas that are affected with eczema (skin condition that causes itching and redness) and therefore should be used with extreme caution if you suffer from this skin condition.
Tretinoin may cause a change in your skin color which usually goes back to normal when you stop using it or when your skin adapts to it.
Do not share your medicine with others.
Do not apply this product to wounded skin.
Excessive natural or artificial sunlight exposure may increase the risk of sun burning.
It may also cause premature aging and skin cancer if exposed over many years. The risk of developing these side effects vary depending on the climate, skin type, and the care followed to prevent being over exposed to the sun. The risk of sunburn and developing other skin problems is higher when you are using this medicine as it can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, it is very important that you avoid being exposed to sunlight and sunlamps when using this medicine.
Make sure to apply a protective sunscreen when outside (even on hazy days) if you cannot avoid being exposed to sunlight or sunlamps. Ask your doctor about the best sunscreen SPF level that you need to apply before sunlight exposure. In case of prolonged sun exposure, you should also wear protective clothing (e.g. a hat).
Do not get exposed to artificial sunlamps when using this medicine.
The skin is at risk of burns or dryness in extreme weather conditions such as cold or wind.
Your skin may be even more easily irritated in extreme weather conditions, when being treated with tretinoin.
Your doctor can advise you on how to manage your treatment under these conditions.
Make sure not to use this product if you are sunburnt until your sunburn completely recovers.
You may notice an appearance of new blemishes (papules and pustules) after 3 to 6 weeks of starting this medicine.
It is very important that you keep on using the medicine at this stage.
If tretinoin is going to help in reducing your acne, you should see a continued improvement in your skin appearance after 6 to 12 weeks of treatment.
Be patient and do not be discouraged if you do not notice any immediate improvement.
Do not stop using your cream at the first signs of skin improvement.
You should continue using the medicine until your doctor tells you to stop.
Make sure not to use harsh scrubs, skin cleansers, medicated soaps or cosmetic products that contain alcohol in order to prevent excessive dryness or skin irritation.
