What is A-Ret 0.1% Gel ?
A-Ret 0.1% Gel is a
form of vitamin A that is used to treat acne which appears as spots or pimples
on your face, chest, or back. It also helps to smooth rough facial skin and to
reduce fine wrinkles on the skin.
A-Ret 0.1% Gel reduces excessive oil production of
the skin. Ideally, a pinpoint application at nighttime is recommended for the
duration prescribed by your doctor. The amount you need and for how long you
need to take it will depend on what you are being treated for. You should
normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of this
medicine. Follow your doctor’s instructions. You should not apply it to damaged
or broken skin and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. It may take
several weeks for your symptoms to improve but keep using it regularly to get
the most benefit. Consult your doctor again if you do not notice any
improvement after a few weeks. Using more medicine or applying it more often
than prescribed will not make it work any faster and may increase the side
effects.
The most common side effects include irritation,
dryness, and redness of the skin. They are usually mild and improve as your
body gets used to the medicine. Drink plenty of water and use moisturizer as it
may lead to dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. Let your doctor know if
these side effects bother you or do not go away. Serious side effects with this
medicine are rare.
