Revize Micro 0.025% Gel

Revize Micro 0.025% Gel is a prescription acne medicine that contains tretinoin 0.025% in each tube. Tretinoin is a topical retinoid, a vitamin A–derived drug used to treat acne by helping unclog pores and improve skin turnover. Revize Micro 0.025% Gel is applied to the skin, not taken by mouth, and is used for acne vulgaris in patients who need a lower-strength tretinoin option. Because it comes as a gel, it may feel lighter than cream formulations.

How it works: Tretinoin in Revize Micro 0.025% Gel helps skin cells turn over more normally so pores are less likely to become blocked. The gel base spreads a thin layer of medicine on the skin, which is useful for acne-prone areas such as the face.

Revize Micro 0.025% Gel is the lower of the two strengths we sell, compared with Revize Micro 0.04% Gel. The 0.025% gel is often chosen when someone needs a gentler start, has sensitive skin, or is more likely to get dryness, redness, or peeling with a stronger tretinoin gel. A doctor may select this strength to help the skin adjust before considering a higher-strength option.

• Acne vulgaris
• Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads)
• Inflamed acne lesions
• Maintenance treatment for acne as directed by a doctor

• Apply only to clean, completely dry skin at night unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Use a pea-sized amount for the whole face; do not apply more to make it work faster.
• Spread a thin layer over the acne-affected area, avoiding eyes, eyelids, lips, nostrils, and broken skin.
• Wash hands after applying the gel.
• Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure during the day, because tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.
• If your skin becomes very irritated, ask your prescriber whether to use it less often instead of stopping on your own.

Revize Micro 0.025% Gel provides tretinoin 0.025% in a topical gel form, so the amount used is measured by the thin layer applied to the skin, not by swallowing a dose. It is commonly applied once daily at night, but your doctor may tell you to start less often if your skin is sensitive. There is no universal maximum daily amount; your prescriber decides the right frequency and amount for your skin and acne severity.

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

• For external use only; do not swallow Revize Micro 0.025% Gel.
• Avoid using on sunburned, eczema-prone, or broken skin unless your doctor specifically says to.
• Use sunscreen and protective clothing because this strength can make skin more sun-sensitive.
• Do not use tanning beds or unnecessary sun exposure while using tretinoin gel.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting this medicine.
• Avoid harsh skin products such as scrubs, alcohol-based toners, or strong peels unless approved by your prescriber.
• If irritation is severe, your doctor may need to lower how often you use Revize Micro 0.025% Gel.

• Abrasive cleansers, scrubs, astringents, or alcohol-containing skin products
• Other retinoids or vitamin A products used on the skin
• Photosensitizing medicines that increase sun sensitivity
• Waxing or depilatory products on treated skin, which can worsen irritation
