A Ret Gel 0.1% ( Tretinoin (0.1% w/w) )

What is A Ret Gel 0.1%?

A Ret Gel 0.1% is a topical dermatological formulation that contains Tretinoin 0.1%, a potent derivative of Vitamin A widely recognized for its ability to stimulate cell turnover and promote skin regeneration. It belongs to a class of medications called retinoids, which are clinically proven to treat a variety of persistent skin concerns. This high-strength gel is often prescribed to patients suffering from cystic acne, stubborn blackheads, premature wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars.

How It Works:

Tretinoin accelerates the natural exfoliation process of the skin by increasing the rate at which old, damaged skin cells are shed and replaced with new cells. This helps in:

• Unclogging pores to prevent acne formation
• Reducing excessive oil (sebum) production
• Stimulating collagen synthesis for firmer, youthful skin
• Evening out skin tone by reducing pigmentation and sun damage

Key Benefits of A Ret Gel 0.1%:

• Treats Severe Acne: Effectively clears up cystic acne, pustules, and blackheads.
• Anti-Aging: Smoothens wrinkles and fine lines by promoting collagen production.
• Skin Brightening: Gradually fades hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots.
• Texture Improvement: Improves skin tone, elasticity, and overall complexion.
• Scar Reduction: Helps in lightening post-acne marks and shallow scars over time.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle, mild cleanser and pat dry.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount of A Ret Gel 0.1% evenly to the affected area once daily at night.
3. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer after application to prevent dryness and irritation.
4. In the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.

Note: Visible improvements are usually noticeable after 6–12 weeks of regular use, although acne may temporarily worsen during the first 2–4 weeks (known as the “purging” phase).

Precautions & Side Effects:

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
• Do not use on broken, sunburned, or eczematous skin.
• Common side effects may include redness, peeling, dryness, mild burning, or itching.
• Use a moisturizer to minimize irritation.
• Avoid waxing or harsh exfoliation treatments while using Tretinoin.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Contraindicated—consult a dermatologist before use.
