Instructions for Use
Tretiheal 0.05% Cream
(Tretinoin Cream USP 0.05%)
20 gm Tube

Product Description
Tretiheal 0.05% Cream contains Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A. It is a topical retinoid used to treat acne vulgaris, reduce fine wrinkles, improve skin texture, and fade dark spots (hyperpigmentation). It works by speeding up skin cell turnover and unclogging pores.

How to Use Tretiheal 0.05% Cream

Directions for Use:

1. Wash your face gently with a mild cleanser and pat dry. Wait 20–30 minutes until your skin is completely dry.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount of Tretiheal 0.05% Cream to the affected areas of the face once daily.
3. Apply it at night (before bedtime), as tretinoin makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
4. Gently spread a thin layer over the affected area. Avoid the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and lips.
5. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
6. Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, as tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.

Initial Treatment Period:

• Use every other night for the first 1–2 weeks to reduce irritation.
• Once your skin adjusts, you may use it every night.
• Visible improvement in acne may take 8–12 weeks. Do not stop early.
