A Ret Gel 0.05% ( Tretinoin (0.05% w/w) )

About A Ret Gel 0.05% – Tretinoin Gel

A Ret Gel 0.05% is a dermatologist-recommended topical retinoid formulation containing Tretinoin 0.05%, a Vitamin A derivative that promotes skin renewal. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe acne, clogged pores, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and early signs of aging. By accelerating skin cell turnover, it helps clear blocked follicles, prevent breakouts, and reveal smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.

How It Works:

Tretinoin works at the cellular level by:

• Stimulating faster exfoliation of dead skin cells
• Preventing pore blockage and reducing blackheads & whiteheads
• Encouraging collagen production for firmer, youthful skin
• Lightening hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and post-acne marks
• Improving overall skin elasticity and tone

Key Benefits:

• Clears and prevents acne breakouts, blackheads, and whiteheads
• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of skin aging
• Improves rough skin texture and promotes smoothness
• Fades hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun spots
• Supports even skin regeneration and renewal

Usage Instructions:

1. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount of A Ret Gel 0.05% to the affected areas once daily at night.
3. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to minimize dryness or irritation.
4. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) during the day, as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.

Note: Visible improvements usually appear after 4–8 weeks of consistent use. Some users may experience an initial “purging phase” where acne temporarily worsens before it gets better.

Precautions:

• For external use only – avoid contact with eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
• Do not apply on broken, sunburned, or eczema-affected skin.
• Avoid harsh scrubs, waxing, or chemical peels while using this gel.
• Consult your dermatologist before combining with other actives (like benzoyl peroxide, AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C).
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Possible Side Effects:

• Mild redness, dryness, or peeling in the first weeks
• Temporary burning or stinging sensation after application
• Increased sun sensitivity (always use sunscreen)

If irritation becomes severe, discontinue use and consult your dermatologist.
