Retin a UK is a form of Vitamin A that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes and dark spots and unblock pores. It is also a useful product to use prior to a chemical peel, laser treatment or dermabrasion as it will help speed up the recovery process and prevent any scarring or discolouration that may occur during these procedures.
Retin-A gel is a topical application of tretinoin and should only be used as directed by your physician. It should not be used on sensitive skin areas such as the nose, cheeks or ears. Skin irritation is a normal expected side effect of this medication particularly during the first month of usage. This will improve as your skin becomes accustomed to it. It is important to avoid using other products that can cause irritation, particularly exfoliants such as AHA/BHAs until your skin has been able to tolerate tretinoin. Once your skin has adjusted you can introduce these products again to get the most out of them.
During therapy with RETIN-A, the patient should not be exposed to sunlight, or artificial UV rays such as sunlamps or phototherapy devices. This is because the skin will be more sensitive to the effects of sunlight and may burn more easily. Also, the use of RETIN-A and other sun exposure may result in an increased risk of sunburn, skin cancer or premature aging.
When applying Retin-A, the patient should be careful not to touch other areas of the body with the fingers as this can spread the medication to these areas. It is also a good idea to wash the hands frequently with an antibacterial soap or liquid hand soap before and after using the medication.
Patients should also avoid smoking or consuming alcohol. These can increase the chance of unpleasant side effects, such as a dry cough. In addition, women who are pregnant or breast feeding should not take this medication. This is because RETIN-A can be absorbed through the skin and passed to the baby.
