About Retin-A
Everyone experiences the occasional skin blemish, but for some, the problem goes beyond a simple quickly healing pimple. Acne, long the scourge of teen years, can strike anyone and can be very difficult to get rid of without the help of powerful medications.
Retin-A is a topical prescription medication that can be used to treat problem acne and give you clearer, unblemished skin. Read the information we've gathered for you here and get your problem skin under control!
How to use Retin-A
Apply a thin layer of Retin-A to affected areas at bedtime. Use a gauze pad or cotton swab to apply the liquid. Wash your 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.
Retin-A Side Effects
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 the medication. If they persist or become bothersome, stop the medication. This medicine may also increase sun sensitivity. Retin-A may also cause itchiness and scaling of the skin. This can sometimes be very extreme depending on the individual. Most people will experience some itching or scaling if too much Retin-A is applied.
Contraindications
Discontinue use of the product if you are allergic to or appear to have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
