Tretinoin 0.025% cream is commonly used to treat acne, including inflammatory types. It works by promoting skin cell turnover, which helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. This cream contains tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, that reduces oil secretion and prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

Some users may experience side effects like dry skin, peeling, redness, burning, itching, or stinging, especially when starting treatment. These usually improve over time. It is important to avoid applying the cream to sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, mouth, and to protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen and protective clothing.

Because tretinoin can cause irritation and increase sun sensitivity, it is best to use it under the guidance of a dermatologist. They can advise on the correct frequency and amount to apply, and help manage any side effects or skin reactions.

If you have sensitive skin, severe acne, or other skin conditions, please consult a dermatologist before starting tretinoin cream to ensure it is safe and suitable for your skin type.
