Tretinoin Cream 20gm

Tretinoin Cream 0.05% is a prescription-strength topical retinoid designed to support acne control, skin renewal, and visible improvement in skin tone and texture. Its lightweight formulation absorbs smoothly, working at a cellular level to promote healthier-looking skin over time.

Key Benefits

1. Acne management: Helps unclog pores and reduce the frequency of breakouts
2. Skin renewal: Encourages cell turnover for smoother, more even skin texture
3. Hyperpigmentation support: Assists in fading dark spots and uneven tone
4. Anti-ageing benefits: Softens the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles
5. Overall complexion: Promotes softer, clearer, and more luminous-looking skin with continued use

How It Works

Tretinoin (a vitamin A derivative) increases epidermal cell turnover, helping to prevent pore blockage, reduce acne lesions, and improve visible signs of photo-damage. Results develop gradually with consistent use.

Directions for Use

1. Cleanse with a mild, non-medicated cleanser and pat skin dry
2. Wait 20–30 minutes before application to ensure skin is completely dry
3. Apply a thin layer (pea-sized amount) to the face every other night, or as directed by a healthcare professional
4. Avoid the eyes, lips, corners of the nose, and broken skin
5. Reduce frequency if excessive dryness or irritation occurs
