Tretinoin is the generic name for synthetic, first-generation all-trans-retinoic acid. Topical tretinoin first arrived on the dermatology scene in the 1960s. It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne, and in a few other FDA-approved products (which does not apply to our tretinoin products) as an adjunctive agent to treat fine facial wrinkling for patients who use comprehensive skincare and sun avoidance programs.

Directions:

Morning Routine:

• Apply a moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen, that will not aggravate your acne.

Nighttime Routine:

• Wash with a mild soap and dry skin gently
• Wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow skin to completely dry
• Squeeze no more than half an inch of medication onto fingertip; more medication will not yield faster or better results and may cause irritation
• Apply onto face, covering affected area lightly, starting with your forehead, chin, and both cheeks, then spread over the entire affected area
• Avoid corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds
