Retin-A is a Vitamin-A derivative used effectively in the treatment of Acne Vulgaris. Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, Retin-A, used as a topical application, is thought to loosen and expel existing acne plugs in the skin and prevent new lesions from forming. Retin-A directly attacks the primary cause of acne, the plug. |

The following information is a summary. It is not intended to replace a doctor's instructions.
Retin-A is used in the treatment of acne. Retin-A reduces the formation of pimples and promotes quick healing of pimples that do develop.
Patient instructions are available with Retin-A. Read them carefully before using. Apply a thin layer of Retin-A to affected area at bedtime. Wash hands immediately after use. Using Retin-A more frequently or in excessive amounts does not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid applying Retin-A near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication can irritate sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when Retin-A is first used; continue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before the full benefits of Retin-A are seen.
Immediately after applying Retin-A, the skin may feel warm or mild stinging or redness may occur. Some peeling of the skin may occur. These effects should subside as your skin adjusts to Retin-A. If they persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Retin-A may also increase sun sensitivity.
Retin-A can increase sensitivity to sunlight, wind and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. Retin-A should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known if tretinoin appears in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Use mild soap when washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase skin irritation. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about their use. Use other acne preparations with caution while using Retin-A .
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you take with and without a prescription.
If you miss a dose of Retin-A, use it as soon as remembered; do not use if it is almost time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose of Retin-A to catch up.
Store Retin-A at room temperature away from sunlight. Keep Retin-A and all medications out of the reach of children.
Cosmetics may be used, but clean skin thoroughly before applying Retin-A.
