Directions for Use
Following are some tips about how to use this product:
1. Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser before applying this gel. Rinse and pat dry the skin.
2. Apply a thin film of Retino A 0.1% gel almost pea size amount at nighttime. Avoid getting the gel on your lips or in the creases of your nose.
3. In the beginning until your skin is used to the gel, you should only keep the gel for 1-2 hours and wash your face with warm water. For the people with fair and dry skin exposure time at the beginning of the treatment is 30 mins, the duration of exposure can be gradually increased.
4. Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Sunburn can more easily happen because you are using this product. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors. Your skin may be more sensitive to weather extremes such as cold and wind. Protect your skin with clothing and use a moisturizing cream or lotion as needed. Avoid using skin products that can cause irritation, such as harsh soaps, shampoos, or skin cleansers, hair coloring or permanent chemicals, hair removers or waxes, or skin products with alcohol, spices, astringents, or lime.
5. While starting your tretinoin journey, it is essential that you simplify your skincare routine until your skin is adjusted to it especially if you are experiencing any skin sensitivity. Also, it is suggested that you do not use any potential irritants like peels, toners and serums for few days until your skin is ready for you to reintroduce these products gradually into your routine.
SPF is very important part of your skincare routine because it not only protects your skin from sun damage, but it can also undo some of the skin benefits provided by the treatments. We recommend at least SPF 50 and make sure you reapply sunscreen every 2 hours during the daytime.
5. Peeling is a normal side effect while using this cream. You might experience redness and peeling while using this cream. You can reduce the usage to alternative days or 3 times a week when this happens.
The result will be seen after 3-6 weeks of using this product.
