DESCRIPTION
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
