How to use
Wash your hands thoroughly before using Retin-A Cream (Tretinoin), then gently cleanse the affected skin with a mild soap and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of cream with your fingertips once daily, preferably before bedtime. You can use a cotton swab or gauze to apply the cream instead. Read the label carefully and follow your doctor's instructions exactly.
If you apply too much of Retin-A Cream (Tretinoin), the cream may clot. If this happens, apply a thinner layer next time.
Use Retin-A Cream (Tretinoin) for the exact number of days prescribed, regardless of whether you see any improvements to your skin. It may take a long time before results are noticeable and your acne may appear worse at the beginning of treatment. However, this will improve over time. Talk to your doctor in case of severe skin irritation or if your acne has not improved after 8-12 weeks.
