(TRETINOIN - TOPICAL)
Possible uses of this medication
Retin-A is used in the treatment of acne. It reduces the formation of
pimples and promotes quick healing of pimples that do develop.
How to take this medication
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 this medication more frequently or in excessive
amounts does not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid
applying near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication can irritate
sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when the medication is first used;
continue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before the full benefits of
this medication are seen.
Side Effects
Immediately after applying, 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. This medicine may also increase sun sensitivity.

prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an

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
