About Aklief Cream

Aklief Cream is used to treat acne vulgaris of the face and/or trunk when many comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (small bumps) and pustules (inflammatory pimples) are present. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. Acne occurs due to overactive sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin.

Aklief Cream contains Trifarotene, which works by unplugging blocked hair follicles and preventing the formation of such plugs in the first place.

Aklief Cream is for external use only. Use Aklief Cream as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Aklief Cream based on your medical condition. Aklief Cream may cause common side effects such as skin irritation, itching or sunburn. Most of these side effects of Aklief Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Trifarotene or any other ingredients in Aklief Cream, tell your doctor. You are recommended to apply a moisturizer from the beginning of treatment, which may help prevent reactions such as peeling, redness, dryness, and stinging/burning. Do not apply Aklief Cream on cuts, scrapes, abraded, eczematous or sunburned skin. Apply Aklief Cream carefully to sensitive areas of the skin such as armpits or neck. Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, including phototherapy or sunlamps during treatment with Aklief Cream. Do not apply Aklief Cream in larger amounts than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but makes your skin scaly, irritated or red.

Aklief Cream helps skin replace its old skin cells at a faster speed, exfoliating away the old cells in the process and helping prevent the formation of new acne.

What if I have taken an overdose of Aklief Cream

If you use more Aklief Cream than you should on your skin, you will not get rid of your acne any quicker, and your skin may become irritated, scaly, and red. Contact a doctor or reach the nearest hospital immediately if a child has accidentally used this medicine or you or someone else has accidentally swallowed this medicine.

Drug Warnings

If you are allergic to Trifarotene or any other ingredients in Aklief Cream, tell your doctor. You are recommended to apply a moisturizer from the beginning of treatment, which may help prevent reactions such as peeling, redness, dryness, and stinging/burning. If symptoms do occur, the doctor may instruct you to start using a moisturizer (if you have not already), to use the cream less often or to stop for a short time. Despite these measures, if the symptoms persist, you may be asked to stop the cream altogether. Do not apply Aklief Cream on cuts, scrapes, abraded, eczematous or sunburned skin. Apply Aklief Cream carefully to sensitive areas of the skin such as armpits or neck. Avoid waxing as a depilatory method on the skin treated with Aklief Cream as it may increase skin sensitivity. Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, including phototherapy or sunlamps during treatment with Aklief Cream. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not apply Aklief Cream in larger amounts than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but makes your skin scaly, irritated or red. Avoid using skin products that may dry or irritate your skin, such as medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, products that contain high amounts of alcohol and soaps, cleansers, and cosmetics that have strong skin drying effects.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid sun exposure while using Aklief Cream as it may make skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn.
  • Regular exercise can improve your mood and self-esteem, though it doesn't clear acne. Take a shower immediately after finishing exercise, as sweat may irritate acne.
  • Wash your hair regularly and avoid hair falling across the face.
  • Remove the make-up completely before going to bed.
