Revize Micro 0.04% Gel

Revize Micro 0.04% Gel is a prescription topical acne medicine that contains tretinoin 0.04% in each tube. Tretinoin belongs to the retinoid class and is used to treat acne by helping keep pores from clogging. This micro-encapsulated gel is applied to the skin, not taken by mouth, and is intended for acne-prone areas such as the face. Revize Micro 0.04% Gel may be chosen when a doctor wants a tretinoin strength that is stronger than 0.025% but still formulated to be gentler than some traditional gels.

How it works: Tretinoin helps skin cells turn over more normally so dead skin does not build up and block pores. In Revize Micro 0.04% Gel, the micro-encapsulated gel base releases tretinoin gradually onto the skin, which may help treat acne while reducing irritation for some users.

Revize Micro 0.04% Gel is a mid-strength tretinoin option compared with Revize Micro 0.025% Gel, so it may be selected for patients who need a bit more acne control but still want the smoother, controlled-release micro gel feel. Because it is a 0.04% gel, it can be more irritating than 0.025% for some people, so a clinician may choose it based on acne severity, skin tolerance, and prior response to tretinoin. The micro-gel design helps release the medicine gradually on the skin, which may improve tolerability compared with some non-micro formulations.

• Use Revize Micro 0.04% Gel only on the skin as directed by your doctor; do not swallow it.
• Apply a pea-sized amount in a thin layer to the affected acne-prone area, usually once daily in the evening unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the gel, and avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, nose, or on broken skin.
• Start with a small amount and increase only as tolerated if your doctor recommends it, because 0.04% can irritate some skin types.
• Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer if advised, and avoid applying other harsh acne products at the same time unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure, because tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Each tube of Revize Micro 0.04% Gel contains tretinoin 0.04%, which is a prescription-strength topical dose for acne. It is usually applied once daily in the evening, but your doctor decides the exact schedule based on your skin, tolerance, and treatment goals; there is no fixed maximum daily amount beyond using only the prescribed thin layer on the affected area.

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
• Burning or stinging
• Itching
• Temporary worsening of irritation when starting treatment, which may be more noticeable with the 0.04% strength

• Do not use Revize Micro 0.04% Gel on sunburned, windburned, eczema-flared, or broken skin unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• This 0.04% strength may irritate more than 0.025% gel, so follow your prescriber’s instructions closely and do not increase the amount on your own.
• Use sunscreen and protective clothing because tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.
• Avoid waxing, abrasive scrubs, and harsh exfoliants on treated areas, as these can worsen irritation.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using tretinoin.
• Use caution with other acne products such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol because they may increase dryness and irritation.
• If your skin becomes very irritated, stop use and contact your healthcare professional for guidance.

• Other topical retinoids
• Benzoyl peroxide products
• Astringents and alcohol-based skin products
• Harsh exfoliants or scrubs
• Products containing salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol
