Description

Acne treatment gel

This prescription product treats acne vulgaris, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.

Tretinoin repairs the skin from the inside out. It’s able to penetrate your skins layers to attack acne at the source, stimulate collagen production, and lighten scars and blemishes. The result? Clearer, brighter, smoother, and healthier skin. Tretinoin corrects your skin on a cellular level.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN 0.1% cream.
Prescription required. Must be a current patient, otherwise please contact our office to schedule a consultation (may be virtual or face to face)
ALSO AVAILABLE IN 0.1% cream. BOTH FORMULATIONS BY PRESCRIPTION ONLY, OBAGI TRETINOIN CREAMS AND GEL WORK DEEP INSIDE THE SKIN TO TREAT ACNE.
How to use:
Morning Routine:
  • Apply a moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen, that will not aggravate your acne.
Nighttime Routine:
  • Wash with a mild soap and dry skin gently
  • Wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow skin to completely dry
  • Squeeze no more than half an inch of medication onto fingertip; more medication will not yield faster or better results and may cause irritation
  • Apply onto face, covering affected area lightly, starting with your forehead, chin, and both cheeks, then spread over the entire affected area
  • Avoid corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds
Tretinoin is the generic name for synthetic, first-generation all-trans-retinoic acid. Topical tretinoin first arrived on the dermatology scene in the 1960s. It is a prescription drug approved to treat acne, and in a few other FDA-approved products, to treat fine facial wrinkling, limited psoriasis, and other conditions.
Tretinoin Gel is a translucent to opaque, pale yellow gel containing 0.05% tretinoin, by weight.
