Tretin 0.05%

Tretin 0.05% is a topical retinoid medication used to treat acne and signs of aging. It helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production.

Uses: Tretin 0.05% is primarily used for:

• Acne vulgaris (pimples and blackheads)  
• Fine lines and wrinkles   
• Sun damage (hyperpigmentation and rough texture) 

Important Considerations:

1. Prescription Required: Tretin 0.05% is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
2. Skin Sensitivity: It can cause initial skin irritation, such as redness, dryness, or peeling. This is a common side effect that usually subsides as the skin adjusts to the medication.  
3. Sun Sensitivity: Tretin 0.05% can increase sun sensitivity. Use sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher and avoid excessive sun exposure.
