Acnesol Tretinoin 0.05% Cream

Acnesol Tretinoin 0.05% Cream is used to treat acne, sun damage and as an anti-aging product to help reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and dark spots. Tretinoin cream or gel works by helping the skin renew itself, decrease comedone formation, and also help with hyperpigmentation.

Tretinoin for acne helps reduce the number and severity of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and also helps to improve dark spots (hyperpigmentation).

Acnesol cream for skin aging may help improve fine wrinkling, hyperpigmentation, roughness, and epidermal thickness. When tretinoin is used for photoaging of the skin it should be used along with other treatments, comprehensive skin care, and avoiding sun damage.

How to use Acnesol Tretinoin 0.05% Cream

Wash your hands before applying this medication. Gently clean the affected skin with a mild or soapless cleanser and pat dry. Use your fingertips to apply a small amount of medication (about the size of a pea) in a thin layer as directed by your doctor, usually once daily at bedtime. You should wait 20 to 30 minutes after cleaning your face before applying this medication.

Use this medication on the skin only. Do not apply to the inner lip area or inside the nose/mouth. Do not apply to cut, scraped, sunburned, or eczema-affected skin.

Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If this medication gets into your eyes, flush with large amounts of water. Call your doctor if eye irritation develops. Wash your hands after using the medication to avoid accidentally getting it in your eyes.

During the first few weeks of using tretinoin, your acne might appear worse because the medication is working on pimples forming inside the skin. It may take up to 8-12 weeks to notice results from this medication.

Use it regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. Do not use a larger amount or use it more often than recommended. Your skin will not improve any faster, and it will increase the risk of developing redness, peeling and pain.
