Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g)

Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) is a prescription acne medicine that contains tretinoin, a topical retinoid used on the skin. Each tube of Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) provides tretinoin 0.025% in a cream base, and the pack contains 10 tubes. It is used to help treat acne by clearing clogged pores and improving the appearance of comedones and pimples. Because it is a cream, it is intended for external use only and is applied directly to the affected skin.

How it works: Tretinoin helps skin cells turn over more normally, which keeps pores from becoming plugged with oil and dead skin. In cream form, Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) spreads over the skin to treat acne-prone areas and gradually improve clogged pores and breakouts.

Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) is the lower-strength option compared with Retino A Cream 0.05% (20 g), so it is often chosen for people who are starting tretinoin or who have more sensitive skin. This 0.025% cream may feel gentler at first, although dryness and peeling can still happen as your skin adjusts. A doctor may choose Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) when they want a milder introduction to tretinoin before considering a stronger strength.

• Acne vulgaris
• Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads)
• Clogged pores
• Topical retinoid acne treatment
• Help reduce new acne lesions

• Apply Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) to clean, dry skin only.
• Use a thin layer over the acne-prone area, not just on individual pimples, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Usually apply at night, because tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.
• Avoid eyes, eyelids, lips, nostrils, and broken or sunburned skin.
• Wash your hands after applying the cream.
• Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure during treatment.

Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) provides tretinoin 0.025% in each tube, which is a lower-strength topical acne treatment. Your doctor will decide how often to apply it; many patients use it once daily in the evening, but the exact schedule can be adjusted based on skin tolerance. There is no standard “max per day” amount like an oral medicine, because the prescribed amount depends on the area being treated and your doctor’s instructions.

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

Common side effects of Tretinoin may include:

• Do not use Retino A Cream 0.025% (20 g) on sunburned, eczematous, or broken skin unless your doctor specifically says to.
• This medicine can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so daily sunscreen and sun protection are important.
• Start exactly as directed, because even the lower 0.025% strength can cause dryness and irritation.
• Avoid using harsh scrubs, astringents, or alcohol-based acne products unless your clinician approves them.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, because topical tretinoin use should be reviewed carefully.
• Do not apply to the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• If your skin becomes very irritated, your doctor may tell you to use it less often before increasing again.

• Other topical acne products that irritate the skin, such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur products
• Topical products with alcohol, astringents, or strong exfoliants
• Waxing or other hair-removal methods on treated skin can increase irritation
