Use Tretin-0.05% Cream as suggested below:

Tretin-0.05% Cream is applied topically.

Tretin-0.05% Cream contains tretinoin (0.05% w/w), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Promotes Cell Turnover: Tretinoin speeds up the process of replacing old skin cells with new ones in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis.

• Unclogs Pores: By accelerating cell turnover, tretinoin helps clear up blocked pores that often lead to acne lesions.

• Modifies Gene Expression: On a cellular level, tretinoin interacts with proteins within your cells known as retinoic acid receptors (RARs). This interaction leads to changes in gene expression, influencing skin cell growth and differentiation.

• Store Tretin-0.05% Cream at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C.

• Make sure the tube is tightly closed after use to prevent air exposure and do not freeze.

• Keep away from direct light and moisture; avoid storing in the bathroom.

• Keep out of reach of children for safety.

• Since Tretin-0.05% Cream is used to manage acne, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can benefit you as these foods are low in sugar and unhealthy fats, which can trigger acne breakouts.

• Due to this cream's photosensitizing properties, it is essential to avoid excessive sun exposure. So, always wear sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher during the day and wear protective clothing when going outdoors.
