A-Ret Gel 0.025% – Tretinoin Topical Gel (Anti-Inflammatory & Acne Treatment)

WHAT IS THIS MEDICATION FOR?

A-Ret Gel 0.025% is a topical retinoid medication used to treat acne (pimples), improve skin texture, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
It has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and swelling associated with acne, making it effective in calming irritated skin.

Dermatologists often recommend A-Ret Gel for acne-prone skin and as part of anti-aging skincare routines.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The active ingredient, Tretinoin, is a Vitamin A derivative that works by:

• Promoting skin cell turnover – Prevents pores from clogging and reduces breakouts.

• Reducing inflammation – Calms irritated and swollen skin.

• Stimulating collagen production – Improves skin elasticity and smoothness.

• Lightening dark spots – Fades acne scars and discoloration for an even skin tone.

This dual-action effect treats acne while enhancing overall skin health.

HOW TO USE

• Wash your face with a mild cleanser and pat dry before applying.

• Apply a thin layer of A-Ret Gel 0.025% to the affected area once daily at bedtime or as directed by a dermatologist.

• Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, and inside the nose.

• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect against sun sensitivity.

• Do not use more than recommended, as it may cause irritation without improving results.
