Acretin 0.05% Topical Cream (Tretinoin) – 30 g

Acretin 0.05% is a prescription-strength tretinoin cream designed to treat acne, reduce fine lines, and improve uneven skin tone. As a vitamin A derivative, it speeds up skin cell turnover, helping to clear clogged pores, fade dark spots, and smooth rough texture.

How It Works

• Promotes exfoliation and unclogs pores, reducing pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads

• Stimulates collagen production to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and thickened skin from sun damage

• Enhances skin tone and texture, improving post-acne pigmentation and signs of aging

Key Benefits

• Clinically proven for effective acne treatment, wrinkle reduction, and improved skin texture

• Available in medium-potency 0.05% concentration—ideal once weekly or nightly based on tolerance

• Often used in a “sandwich method” between moisturizers to balance results and minimize dryness

Tips for Safe Use

• Apply a pea-sized amount onto clean, dry skin before bed

• Begin with 1–2 nights per week, then slowly increase frequency based on tolerance

• Wait 20–30 minutes after cleansing to apply; follow with moisturizer to reduce irritation

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ daily to protect against increased sun sensitivity

Common Initial Effects
Expect mild dryness, redness, peeling, stinging, or warmth—commonly referred to as the “retinoid purge.” These usually settle after 2–4 weeks as the skin acclimates. If irritation becomes excessive, reduce usage frequency or consult your healthcare provider.

Safety Precautions

• Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless advised by a physician

• Do not use on broken skin or alongside harsh acids, benzoyl peroxide, or exfoliants

• Discontinue if experiencing severe redness, swelling, blistering, or persistent irritation

Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dark place away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children. Follow your doctor’s instructions and complete all recommended courses, even if skin begins to improve.
