It treats your acne and prevents new acne.

Can help improve the appearance of surface wrinkles and fine lines.

Gently wash the area to treat and completely dry it. Using tretinoin on wet skin can irritate your skin more than usual. With clean hands, apply a small amount of cream (the size of a pea for your entire face), rubbing it gently. It’s best to use tretinoin at night because it is light sensitive and won’t work as well if you use it in the AM.
Do NOT use tretinoin and Benzoyl Peroxide or salicylic acid or other acid at the EXACT same time because the acid/peroxide kills the action of the tretinoin.
Tretinoin cream comes in: 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1% strengths.
The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when using Tretinoin cream. Minor ones include e skin dryness, itching, redness, mild burning, or worsening of acne. Those effects will decrease with continued use of the medication.
If you experience eye redness and watering (conjunctivitis) or skin discoloration, STOP the medication and tell your doctor.
The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but STOP the medication and seek immediate medical attention (call 911 or go to the ER) if you experience any of the following symptoms: blistering, severe burning/swelling of the skin, itching/swelling, eyelid swelling (though you should NOT be using this medication on your eyelid or around your eyes).

Tretinoin is a topical cream used to treat acne. It decreases the severity and number of acne lesions and speeds up the time to heal pimples. It works by making skin less oily, making the pores smaller, and making the cells less sticky, and thus less likely to block the pore.
Tretinoin cream is only available by prescription. Pandia Health’s doctors are happy to help you get the right skin treatment for you.

Both are good options for acne treatment. It just depends on your skin type. Tretinoin gel contains more alcohol than Tretinoin cream does. The gel can have a drying effect on your skin if you have sensitive or dry skin, thus the cream is better for people with dry skin. The tretinoin gel is stronger, so if you have more severe acne, your doctor may prescribe that if you fail the cream or if you need extra strong treatment. Pandia Health’s expert Doctors are happy to evaluate your skin and prescribe the best acne treatment for you from the convenience and comfort of wherever you have internet.
