What is Retin-A Cream?

Retin-A Cream is an acne medication containing tretinoin. Retin-A Cream decreases both the number and severity of acne pimples as well as quickly healing the pimples that do develop. Retin-A Cream works by promoting the peeling of the affected skin areas and by unclogging your pores. Tretinoin controls acne but does not cure it.

Make sure to always read the patient information and instructions before using this medication. Always Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Tretinoin is typically applied every day at bedtime.
• Wash your hands and the affected skin with bland, mild soap and water before applying cream. Wait 20 to 30 minutes to make sure that your skin is thoroughly dry.
• Use clean fingertips to apply Retin-A Cream. Only use enough medication to cover the affected area with a thin layer of medication.
• Do not get tretinoin cream into your eyes, ears, mouth, corners of your nose or vaginal area.
• Do not apply Retin-A Cream to skin which is sunburned, cut, scraped, damaged or eczema-affected.
• Your acne will probably worsen during the first 7-10 days that you use this cream. Improvement should be noticeable between 2 and 3 weeks of use, although it could take up to 6 weeks.

Tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• About your drug and other allergies.
• If you take any other prescription or over-the counter medications.
• Your medical history particularly of eczema, skin cancer, actinic keratoses or other skin conditions.
• If you are pregnant, planning on pregnancy or breast feeding.

You should also know:

• You should avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen where possible. You should also avoid tanning beds, sunlamps and other forms of UV light.
• Weather extremes including wind and cold may be particularly irritating to your skin.

Common side effects of Retin-A Cream include but are not limited to:

• Dryness, burning, stinging, pain, warmth, redness, peeling or flaky skin where applied.
• Increase in acne sores.
• Lightening or darkening of the skin.
• Blistering, crusting or swelling of the skin.

Get medical help if you have any of the following side effects of tretinoin:

• Pain or discomfort at the treatment area.

• Symptoms of an allergic reaction such as difficulty breathing, hives or a swelling in your face, lips or throat.
