Warnings & Precautions

When using A Ret 0.1% Tretinoin Gel, certain warnings and precautions must be followed to ensure safe and effective treatment:

1. Skin Sensitivity:

• Tretinoin can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, leading to an increased risk of sunburn. Always use sunscreen during the day.

2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

• Tretinoin is contraindicated during pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding due to potential risks to the fetus or infant.

3. Initial Irritation:

• During the first few weeks, you may experience redness, dryness, peeling, or a temporary worsening of acne (purging). These symptoms usually subside as your skin adapts.

4. Avoid Certain Products:

• Do not use abrasive cleansers, astringents, or other products containing alcohol, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid while on tretinoin, as they can increase irritation.

5. Hypersensitivity:

• Discontinue use if you experience severe allergic reactions, including swelling, severe burning, or rash.

6. Application Area:

• Avoid applying the gel near sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, nostrils, or open wounds.

7. Sun Protection:

• Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors.

8. Use Sparingly:

• Apply only a pea-sized amount to the entire face to prevent excessive irritation.

9. Medical Conditions:

• Inform your doctor if you have eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions, as tretinoin may worsen these issues.

10. Consistency:

• Use the gel as directed, preferably at night, and do not skip doses for optimal results.
