Isofeel 0.025 Cream

Isofeel 0.025 Cream is a prescription topical acne medicine that contains tretinoin 0.025% in each tube. Tretinoin belongs to the retinoid class and is used on the skin to help treat acne by reducing clogged pores and improving skin turnover. Isofeel 0.025 Cream is applied directly to affected areas of the face or skin as directed by a clinician. It is not a moisturizer or spot treatment for all skin concerns, but a targeted acne treatment.

How it works: Tretinoin helps skin cells shed more normally so dead cells are less likely to plug pores and form acne bumps. In cream form, Isofeel 0.025 Cream delivers this effect to the skin surface while the base can feel more moisturizing than some other topical retinoid forms.

Isofeel 0.025 Cream is the lower-strength tretinoin cream in this product line, which can make it a suitable starting option for people who are new to tretinoin or who have sensitive, easily irritated skin. Because this cream contains 0.025% tretinoin, a doctor may choose it when they want acne treatment with a gentler introduction before considering stronger tretinoin strengths.

• Acne vulgaris
• Clogged pores and blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Mild to moderate inflammatory acne

• Use Isofeel 0.025 Cream exactly as prescribed on clean, dry skin.
• Apply a thin pea-sized amount to the affected area, usually once daily in the evening unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Avoid the eyes, lips, corners of the nose, and broken or sunburned skin.
• Wash your hands after applying unless the hands are the treatment area.
• Use sunscreen daily and limit tanning, since tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.
• If irritation occurs, your prescriber may tell you to use it less often at first rather than stopping permanently.

Each tube of Isofeel 0.025 Cream provides tretinoin 0.025% cream, which is a prescription strength applied to the skin, not swallowed. The usual frequency is once daily in the evening, but your doctor may adjust how often you use it based on your skin’s tolerance and acne response. There is no universal maximum number of applications per day because the dose and schedule must be individualized by the prescriber.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Tretinoin may include:

• Skin dryness
• Peeling or flaking
• Redness
• Stinging or burning after application
• Mild itching
• Increased skin sensitivity, especially early in treatment

• Do not use on sunburned, windburned, eczema-prone, or broken skin unless your prescriber says it is okay.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and minimize sun exposure while using Isofeel 0.025 Cream.
• This 0.025% strength may still irritate skin, especially when first starting or if used too often.
• Avoid using harsh scrubs, astringents, alcohol-based products, or other irritating acne treatments unless approved by your clinician.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using tretinoin.
• Do not apply near the eyes, mouth, nostrils, or mucous membranes.
• Do not combine with other topical medicines that dry or peel the skin unless instructed, because irritation can build up.

• Other topical retinoids
• Benzoyl peroxide products used at the same time on the skin
• Salicylic acid or other exfoliating acne products
• Astringents, abrasive cleansers, and alcohol-based skin products
• Other medicines that make skin more sensitive to sunlight
