Medication name: Acretin 0.05% Cream contains Tretinoin (0.05%), a topical retinoid derived from vitamin A.

Each tube contains 30 grams of cream for external use only.

Drug class: Topical retinoid / Anti-acne agent

Use: Acretin is used to treat acne vulgaris, reduce fine wrinkles, improve skin texture, and treat hyperpigmentation.

It helps unclog pores, reduce the formation of pimples, and promote smoother, clearer skin over time.

How it works: Tretinoin increases cell turnover in the skin, preventing dead cells from clogging pores and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

It also enhances collagen production, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.

Dosage and administration:

Apply a small, pea-sized amount to the affected area once daily at night, on clean, dry skin.
Avoid applying near the eyes, nostrils, or mouth.
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to minimize dryness or irritation.
Sunscreen should be applied daily during treatment to protect the skin from sensitivity and sunburn.

Side effects: Common side effects include redness, dryness, peeling, burning, or itching during the first few weeks of use.

These effects are usually temporary and improve as the skin adjusts.

Precautions:

For external use only.
Avoid exposure to sunlight, tanning beds, and harsh skincare products.
Do not use on eczema, sunburned, or broken skin.
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Consult your doctor before combining with other topical acne treatments.

Storage: Store below 25 °C, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
