About Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm

Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm belongs to the class of drugs known as retinoids (synthetic or man-made vitamin A). Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm is primarily used to treat acne (pimples) and sun-damaged skin. Acne is a skin condition that is common and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.

Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm contains tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A) that loosens and unblocks pores on the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm is for external use only. Your doctor will advise you on how often you use Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm based on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm with nose, mouth, eyes, ears, or vagina. In case Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience dry skin, peeling, redness, burning, itching, or stinging sensation of the skin.

If you are allergic to Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.

Wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen lotion (SPF) while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not apply Ister 0.025%W/W Cream 20gm in large amounts than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but causes peeling, marked redness, or skin discomfort.
