Product Description
A Ret Gel, 0.05% 20gm, is a retinoid medication widely used to treat acne. Tretinoin, the active ingredient, treats acne and effectively reverses many of the visual signs of ageing. The most common use of Tretinoin 0.05% is to remove acne. It quickly removes acne, clearing skin pores and preventing pimples from developing as they normally would. Tretinoin is one of the most effective acne treatments available on the market today.
The topical medicine works by affecting the production of skin oils, although the exact mechanism of action is still unknown by which the medication works. Tretinoin makes it significantly more difficult for pimples to develop on the facial skin by reducing oil levels. It can take up to 12 weeks to see results from A ret gel. If you develop irritation by using it, check with your dermatologist if symptoms are troublesome.
How To Use
Apply just a pea-sized amount to your entire face. The topical formulation is potent, so a pea size is all you need. Spread it across your fingertips and then dab it all over the affected area, smooth it around. The gel formulation works faster since it is alcohol-based and evaporates quickly. Go a bit lighter around your eyes, nose, and mouth since those are flake prone areas. Use the formulation at night and apply sunscreen during the day. UV rays make Tretinoin less active, so there is no point using the product during the daytime as you won’t get the same results. If you are making all your efforts to minimize the product’s drying effect, cut back the usage every other night under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Precautions
Retin A gel may make your skin condition worse during the treatment’s initial days before it gets better. The condition is temporary and goes away. The topical formulation is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. When you are following a tretinoin therapy, be careful about your exposure to the sun, as, like other tretinoin preparations, A ret gel can thin your skin, making it more prone to sun damage. However, wearing sunscreen can minimize damage or sunburn. Also, consider additional preventive measures like wearing a hat with a brim.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, A ret gel 0.05% gel has some side effects. In general, all tretinoin formulations are safe and effective medication. However, some users may experience unwanted effects ranging from minor skin irritation to long term severe side effects. The most common side effects is a burning or stinging sensation in the skin directly after the application. This is often accompanied by itching, redness, and mild scaling. Many of these minor side effects are temporary resolves independently, while others easily fixed by using moisturizers or other skincare products to overcome dryness caused by Tretinoin. More serious side effects are rare and include facial swelling, conjunctivitis, skin discolouration, swelling of the eyelids, and blisters.
