IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not use if pregnant.
- Be sure to apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning. Tretinoin will make your skin more sensitive to the sun, especially during the first 6 months of use.
- Redness, peeling, and skin sensitivity can occur, so it’s best to ease into treatment. Your skin will adjust to the medicine over time.
HOW TO USE
- At bedtime, put a pea-sized amount onto your finger and dot across your clean, dry face.
- Evenly spread the cream on your face. Avoid your eyelids and the corners of your nose and mouth.
- Apply a moisturizer either immediately before or after to reduce irritation.
- If your skin becomes dry or irritated, skip a night or two and apply a moisturizer only. If the irritation persists or becomes severe, stop the medication.
SIDE EFFECTS
- The most common side effects of this medication are redness, dryness, stinging, sun sensitivity, and mild-burning at the application site. Skin irritation usually goes away during the course of the treatment.
HOW TO STORE
- Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.
