Description
Tretinoin 0.05% Cream is a topical medication formulated for the treatment of acne vulgaris and photoaging. The active ingredient, tretinoin, is a retinoid derived from vitamin A that promotes cellular turnover and inhibits the formation of comedones. By enhancing the renewal of skin cells, tretinoin effectively reduces the appearance of acne lesions and improves skin texture over time.
This cream is primarily used to manage acne by preventing the clogging of pores and reducing the severity of breakouts. It is used in the treatment of photoaging, as it minimizes fine wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and rough skin by stimulating collagen production and epidermal thickening. Regular use leads to an overall improvement in skin tone and appearance, particularly in patients with sun-damaged skin.
Tretinoin 0.05% Cream is applied topically to affected areas, typically once daily at night. A small amount should be gently spread over clean, dry skin, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. Patients are advised to use sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin increases photosensitivity.
