INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TRETINOIN:
-
Start Slowly: Begin with a pea-sized amount for the entire face. Initially, use it every other night for two weeks to allow your skin to adjust. You can use it nightly once your skin is acclimated.
-
Cleanse and Dry Skin: Wash your face gently and pat it dry before applying tretinoin.
-
Pea-Sized Amount: Use a small amount and apply it evenly across your face. Avoid the eye area and lips.
-
Moisturize: After tretinoin has been absorbed (usually after 20-30 minutes), apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.
-
Sun Protection: Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity, so it’s crucial to apply sunscreen during the day. Aim for broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin.
-
Patience is Key: Results take time. It might take a few weeks to several months before you notice significant improvements in your skin.
-
Be Consistent: Consistency is crucial for best results. Stick to your routine, and don’t skip applications.
-
Adjust as Needed: If you experience excessive irritation, redness, or peeling, reduce the frequency of application or use a lower concentration. Always consult your dermatologist before making significant changes.
Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Keep refrigerated when possible. Contents may discolor due to the absence of preservatives.
Stop usage one week before sun exposure.
Remember, tretinoin can cause initial dryness, redness, and peeling as your skin adjusts. It’s essential to start slowly and gradually increase frequency to minimize irritation. Please call our office (256) 980-6044 with other questions or concerns about side effects.
