Tretiheal 0.1% Cream 20gm is applied topically.

Tretiheal 0.1% Cream 20gm contains Tretinoin (0.1%), which acts on your body as follows:

• Modifies Abnormal Follicular Keratinisation: Tretinoin works by changing abnormal keratinisation processes in follicles – basically, it helps keep pores on your skin surface unclogged.
• Reduces Oil Production: Tretinoin reduces the secretion of oil by your skin, helping to prevent acne development.
• Promotes Cell Turnover: By stimulating cell turnover – which means it speeds up how fast skin cells are replaced – Tretinoin aids in pushing out the comedones (commonly known as blackheads and whiteheads) that contribute to acne.

By acting in these ways, Tretinoin helps manage acne and improve overall skin health.

• Keep Tretiheal 0.1% Cream 20gm in a cool and dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and heat, as it can affect the medicine's effectiveness.
• Always keep the tube tightly closed to prevent air or moisture from entering.
• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• To manage acne effectively, try to maintain a low glycaemic diet. Foods with a high glycaemic index can spike your blood sugar levels, leading to increased oil production and worsening acne.
• Practise regular skin hygiene. Gently clean your face twice a day using mild soap or cleanser. Aggressive scrubbing can irritate your skin and aggravate acne; hence, ensure gentle application.
