Description
Acretin 0.05% topical cream is a medication used to treat acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory skin disorder that results from hair follicles becoming clogged with oil and dead skin cells, causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. It works by irritating the skin and speeding up the life cycle of skin cells. This causes them to divide faster and die more quickly so that newer, healthier cells can take their place. Many dermatologists advise their patients to moisturize their skin while using it to reduce the chances of experiencing dry, irritated, and flaky skin, especially when first starting out. While it can irritate the skin at first, and you may not see results for several months, it can help promote smoother, healthier skin. Your doctor or dermatologist can determine if tretinoin is a good option for you. Side effects of tretinoin include burning, itching, stinging, scaling, or redness. Tretinoin is often used when the skin becomes worse before improving. Tretinoin speeds up skin cell turnover, causing some initial blistering, dryness, and peeling.
