Retino-A Cream

Product Overview

Retino A Cream is a topical dermatological treatment containing Tretinoin as its active ingredient. This therapeutic cream is available in two strengths (0.025% and 0.05% w/w) and is clinically proven to address multiple skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. Its scientifically advanced formula works at the cellular level to renew skin texture, resulting in a visibly clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

Uses

This prescription-strength cream is primarily indicated for:
– Treatment of acne vulgaris (including comedones, papules, and pustules)
– Reduction of visible signs of aging (fine lines and wrinkles)
– Improvement of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation
– Enhancement of overall skin texture and tone

How to Use

For optimal results:
1. Cleanse skin thoroughly and pat dry
2. Apply a pea-sized amount to affected areas once daily (preferably at bedtime)
3. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes
4. Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen during daytime use
5. Allow 20-30 minutes after washing before application

Mechanism of Action

Tretinoin, the active retinoid compound in Retino A Cream, functions by:
– Accelerating cellular turnover
– Normalizing keratinization
– Stimulating collagen production
– Reducing comedone formation
This multi-action approach effectively decongests pores, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthy skin regeneration.

Treatment Protocol:
– Initiate therapy with 0.025% formulation
– Gradually increase to 0.05% as tolerated
– Apply thin layer to clean, dry skin
– Frequency: Once daily (evening application recommended)
– Visible improvements typically appear after 8-12 weeks of consistent use
