Product Description

Treticon Forte cream 0.025% is a prescription product that treats acne vulgaris. Treticon contains tretinoin as its main active agent; it is effective in treating mild, moderate, and severe acne following correct application methods.

Treticon Forte cream works inside the skin to treat the condition. It may take 2 to 6 weeks to show results; one should not apply the cream in excess to make the product work any faster, as the excess medication may cause skin irritation. You may also face some discomfort or skin peeling during the initial days of the treatment. Such reactions do not happen to everyone, but if it appears, consider that your skin is getting adjusted with the medication. The skin discomfort or peeling usually resolves within a few days. Once your skin adopts tretinoin, you will notice a continued improvement in your skin’s appearance after 2 weeks of the treatment. Don’t discourage yourself if you find no immediate improvement. Also, do not discontinue treatment after experiencing the first signs of improvement.
