Precautions for Tretin 0.05% Cream
- For External Use Only: Apply only to affected areas and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nostrils, and mucous membranes.
- Sun Sensitivity: Tretinoin increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn. Always apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
- Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: Do not use alcohol-based, abrasive, or medicated skincare products that may cause excessive dryness or irritation.
- Do Not Apply on Broken Skin: Avoid using on wounds, sunburned, or eczema-prone skin to prevent further irritation.
- Possible Skin Reactions: Common side effects include dryness, peeling, redness, burning, itching, or stinging. Discontinue use if severe reactions occur.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as tretinoin may pose risks.
- Initial Purging Effect: Acne may worsen initially as the skin adjusts to the treatment; continue use as directed by a doctor.
- Avoid Waxing and Laser Treatments: Tretinoin makes the skin more sensitive, so avoid waxing, laser treatments, or chemical peels during treatment.
- Follow Doctor’s Instructions: Use only as prescribed by a healthcare provider to avoid overuse, irritation, or ineffective results.
