A Ret 0.1% Gel 20 gm

A Ret 0.1% Gel from Menarini is a topical skin gel that contains tretinoin, a strong form of vitamin A. It is used mostly for acne and for signs of sun-damaged skin, and is best used under a dermatologist's guidance.

• Helps clear acne pimples and blackheads
• Smooths skin texture over time
• Reduces dark spots from old pimples
• May ease early fine lines from sun damage

Tretinoin tells skin cells to renew faster, so dead cells do not clog pores. This means fewer pimples, smoother surface and a more even tone. It also helps the skin build fresh collagen with steady, long-term use.

Use as prescribed by your dermatologist. Usually, wash and dry the face fully, then apply a pea-size amount as a thin layer at bedtime. Build up slowly, often starting every alternate night to let skin adjust. Always use sunscreen the next morning.

• Redness, dryness and peeling, especially at the start
• Burning or stinging when applied
• Sun sensitivity
• Temporary flare of pimples in the first few weeks

Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy. Avoid the eyes, lips and corners of the nose. Keep skin moisturised and always wear sunscreen during the day. Do not mix with strong scrubs or other acid-based products at the same time without medical advice.

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Keep the tube tightly closed and away from children.
