Retin-A: Applying Retin-A
built 640 days ago
Retin-A should be applied once a day, in the evening, to the skin where acne appears, using enough to lightly cover the affected area. The liquid form may be applied using a fingertip, gauze pad, or cotton swab. If you use gauze or cotton, avoid oversaturation, which might cause the liquid to run into areas where treatment is not intended. If your skin becomes too dry, you may want to use petroleum jelly or another emollient during the day. If there is no immediate improvement, or new blemishes appear, don't get discouraged; it takes weeks for the medicine to take effect. Continue applying the prescribed amount.

Retin-A takes time to work, results can take two to three weeks as the medication in Retin-A works to remove many of the unseen pimples below the surface of the skin. Retin-A works best if applied in a thin layer across the entire face and should be applied 20 to 30 minutes after thoroughly washing your face. Retin-A may make an individual more sun sensitive so applying Retin-A right before bed is recommended.

Retin-A Micro should be applied at bedtime, covering the entire affected area lightly. Wash hands immediately after application. Keep Retin-A away from eyes, nose, and mouth. Wait at least an hour before applying cosmetics.

Use Retin-A exactly as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster, and may increase side effects. Do not use Retin-A for longer than your doctor has prescribed.

Applying Retin-A excessively will not produce faster or better results, and marked redness, peeling, or discomfort could occur. Over dosage with other retinoid has been associated with transient headache, facial flushing, celosias, abdominal pain, dizziness and ataxia.

You should follow your doctor's advice on how to use Retin-A. You may be told to apply it thinly once a day, for example, before you go to bed. Clean your first before applying. But, unless your doctor say otherwise, you should avoid harsh cleansers or astringents. You can apply the Retin-A with your fingertips, if you wash your hands afterwards. Or you can apply it with a gauze pad.
