Retin-A Gel 0.025%

How to use

Wash your hands thoroughly before using Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin 0.025% and Clindamycin 1.0%), then gently cleanse the affected skin with a mild soap and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of gel with your fingertips once daily, preferably before bedtime. You can use a cotton swab or gauze to apply the gel instead. Read the label carefully and follow your doctor's instructions exactly.

If you apply too much of Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin 0.025% and Clindamycin 1.0%), the gel may clot. If this happens, apply a thinner layer next time.

Use Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin 0.025% and Clindamycin 1.0%) for the exact number of days prescribed, regardless of whether you see any improvements to your skin. It may take a long time before results are noticeable and your acne may appear worse at the beginning of treatment. However, this will improve over time. Talk to your doctor in case of severe skin irritation or if your acne has not improved after 8-12 weeks.

You may use cosmetics in conjunction with Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin 0.025% and Clindamycin 1.0%), but always clean skin toroughly before applying the cream.

Retin-A Gel (Tretinoin 0.025% and Clindamycin 1.0%) contains 0.025% of the active ingredient Tretinoin and 1.0% Clindamycin, a bacterial antibiotic. Tretinoin causes the affected skin to peel, thereby unclogging the pores and helping the skin's oil glands function. It also increase the turnover of the skin cells, exfoiliating the outer skin and reducing the number of whiteheads and blackheads. Clindamycin is an antobiotic for infections caused by anaerobic bacteria.
