IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not use if pregnant.
- Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and sun lamps.
- 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
- Dot a pea-sized amount of your topical treatment on your forehead, cheeks, and chin.
- Evenly spread the treatment across your face. Avoid your eyelids and the corners of your nose and mouth.
- Apply a moisturizer either immediately before or after you apply your topical treatment.
- If your skin becomes irritated, reduce frequency of use. If the irritation persists, stop the medication and contact your dermatology team.
SIDE EFFECTS
- The most common side effects are redness, dryness, stinging, irritation, and peeling. Skin irritation usually goes away during the course of the treatment.
