Retinol 0.1 % topical cream
This cream is used to treat acne. It works by affecting the growth of skin cells.
It may decrease the number and severity of acne pimples and promote quick healing of pimples that do develop.
This cream
can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin and minimize fine
wrinkles..
Wash your hands before
applying this cream. Gently clean the affected skin with a mild or soapless
cleanser and pat dry. Use your fingertips to apply a small amount of the cream
(about the size of a pea) in a thin layer usually once daily at bedtime.
Use this cream on the
skin only. Do not apply to the inner lip area or inside the nose/mouth. Do not
apply to cut, scraped, sunburned, or eczema-affected skin.
Avoid getting in your
eyes. If this cream gets into your eyes, flush with large amounts of water. Wash
your hands after using to avoid accidentally getting it in your eyes.
During the first few
weeks of using this cream, your acne might appear worse because the cream is
working on pimples forming inside the skin. It may take up to 8-12 weeks to notice
results.
Use this cream regularly
to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time
each day. Do not use a larger amount or use it more often than recommended.
Your skin will not improve any faster, and it will increase the risk of
developing redness, peeling and pain.
