Tretin cream 0.1% is a prescription medication used to treat acne vulgaris. It is effective against whiteheads, blackheads, and minor inflammatory lesions of acne such as papules and pustules. The active component of the medicine is Tretinoin, a retinoid medication that helps keep your skin healthy by replacing your skin cells. By replacing old skin cells with new ones, Tretinoin helps open clogged pores in the skin that are blocked with dead skin cells and excess oil. This effectively treats acne and prevents more pimples from forming.
Warning with Tretin cream .1%
Use of Tretin 0.1% is contraindicated if hypersensitivity to Tretinoin or any of the ingredients is noticed.
Effects of the sun on your skin: Overexposure to natural or artificial sunlight (including tanning beds or sunlamps) can lead to sunburn. Excessive exposure to the sun over many years may contribute to premature skin ageing. The likelihood of these adverse effects occurring will vary depending on the individual's skin type, the local climate, and the care taken to avoid excessive sun exposure. Tretinoin may increase your sensitivity to sunburn and other side effects from UV rays, so unprotected exposure to natural or artificial sunlight should be minimised.
Use caution in the sun: When you step outside, even on hazy days, skin areas treated with Tretinoin should be protected. An effective, high-quality sunscreen with an SPF level that provides the necessary protection level.
Avoid excessive exposure to cold and wind: Extremes of climate can cause skin dryness or burns in individuals with normal skin. Skin treated with Tretin may be more vulnerable to these climate extremes. Your dermatologist can recommend ways to manage your acne treatment under such conditions.
Possible problems: Certain people with sensitive skin may experience excessive redness, swelling, blistered or crusted skin. If you develop severe or persistent irritation, stop treatment and consult your healthcare provider.
Use other pharmaceutical agents only on your dermatologist's advice. So, your dermatologist is the only person who knows which other medications may be beneficial for you and will recommend them to you as per your condition. Moreover, it is advisable to avoid skin formulations that cause dryness or irritation. These formulations may include certain toiletries containing alcohol, astringents, spices, or lime, as well as medicated shampoos, soaps, and other hair solutions. Also, avoid using other medications containing Tretinoin that a dermatologist has not prescribed.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding: No research studies have been conducted to establish the safety of this retinoid formulation in pregnant women.
Acne vulgaris is not caused by dirt, so no matter how hard you scrub, you can't scrub it away. Washing too frequently or scrubbing too harshly can worsen your acne. Wash your skin gently with mild soap or cleanser (two or three times should be enough). Let the facial skin dry for 15 to 20 minutes before applying the cream. Here, it is essential to note that your dermatologist does not recommend excessive rubbing, overwashing, or the use of other medications, as these activities may worsen your acne.
Side effects of Tretin cream .1%
The following side effects may improve with time as your body adjusts to this medicine. Please inform your dermatologist if you continue to experience these symptoms or if they worsen over time. Commonly reported are skin redness, sensitivity to sunlight, skin peeling or discomfort, warm feeling or stinging after applying, and worsening of acne in the first few weeks of antiacne therapy.
How to use Tretin cream .1%
Tretin 0.1% should be applied once daily, at bedtime. Apply the cream to the areas of the skin where acne lesions appear. Use a pea-sized amount to cover the entire affected area. The retinoid cream works inside your skin, and this takes time. You cannot make this formulation work any faster by applying more than a dose each day, but an excessive amount of the product may irritate your skin. Therefore, it is important to be patient with this topical treatment.
Those new to Tretinoin may experience some discomfort or peeling during the early days of the treatment. Some patients may also notice that their skin starts to take on a blush. Not all individuals experience these reactions. If they do, it is just your skin adjusting to the formulation, and this usually resolves within two to four weeks. These effects can usually be minimised by carefully following the instructions provided by your dermatologist. If the effects become excessively troublesome, seek immediate medical attention. Results should appear after two to three weeks; however, more than six weeks of treatment are required before significant improvement is observed. Once you think the topical medication has started responding satisfactorily, it may be possible to maintain the improvement with less frequent usage.
Tretinoin users may use cosmetics; however, it is essential to thoroughly wash the treated area before applying the medicine. If the topical medication is applied excessively, no better or rapid results may be noticed; instead, peeling, redness, or discomfort may occur.
