What Is Tretiheal 0.05%?

Tretiheal 0.05% Cream contains tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative used primarily for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. It helps reduce clogged pores and promotes normal shedding of skin cells.

How Does Tretiheal 0.05% Work?

Tretinoin increases skin-cell turnover and helps prevent dead skin cells from accumulating within hair follicles. This helps keep pores clear and reduces the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and acne lesions.

• Use only as directed by your doctor or dermatologist.
• Clean the affected area gently and allow it to dry before application.
• Apply a thin layer, usually in the evening.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, corners of the nose, and broken or irritated skin.
• Wash your hands after applying the cream.
• Do not use more than recommended, as this can increase irritation without providing faster results.
• Use appropriate sunscreen during the day and limit excessive sun exposure.
