Precautions While Using Retin A (Tretinoin)

During the first 3 weeks you are using Retin A (Tretinoin), your skin may become irritated. Also, your acne may seem to get worse before it gets better. It may take longer than 12 weeks before you notice full improvement of your acne, even if you use the medicine every day. Check with your health care professional at any time skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.

You should avoid washing the skin treated with Retin A (Tretinoin) for at least 1 hour after applying it.

Avoid using any topical medicine on the same area within 1 hour before or after using Retin A (Tretinoin). Otherwise, Retin A (Tretinoin) may not work properly or skin irritation might occur.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is especially important to avoid using the following skin products on the same area as Retin A (Tretinoin):

Any other topical acne product or skin product containing a peeling agent (such as benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, or sulfur)
Hair products that are irritating, such as permanents or hair removal products
Skin products that cause sensitivity to the sun, such as those containing spices or limes
Skin products containing a large amount of alcohol, such as astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions
Skin products that are too drying or abrasive, such as some cosmetics, soaps, or skin cleansers
Using these products along with Retin A (Tretinoin) may cause mild to severe irritation of the skin. Although skin irritation can occur, some doctors sometimes allow benzoyl peroxide to be used with Retin A (Tretinoin) to treat acne.

Retin A (Tretinoin)

Retin A (Tretinoin) (TRET-i-noyn) is used to treat acne. It is also known as Avita, Renova, Retisol-A, Stieva-A and works partly by keeping skin pores clear.

One of the Retin A (Tretinoin) creams is used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face caused by damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and by slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun. Retin A (Tretinoin) works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun. However, it does not completely or permanently erase these skin problems or greatly improve more obvious changes in the skin, such as deep wrinkles caused by sun or the natural aging process.

Retin A (Tretinoin) may also be used to treat other skin diseases as determined by your doctor.
