Medication used to treat acne and sun-damaged skin
Description
Avotin-A 0.05% Skin Cream is a medication used to treat acne and sun-damaged skin. It can't erase deep wrinkles, but it can help improve the appearance of surface wrinkles, fine lines, and darks spots. For the purposes of skin care, tretinoin can be thought of as a more concentrated version of retinol. This means that tretinoin is stronger than retinol. They both promote rapid exfoliation and stimulation of collagen and elastin, which leads to smoother-looking skin. You may notice tretinoin starting to work within 2 to 3 weeks, but it can take 6 weeks or more to experience the full benefit. Tretinoin can cause skin irritation and peeling, especially when you first start using it. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun.

HOW TO USE
Use as directed by your Doctor only
Suggested usage: Apply once a day, preferably before bed with sunscreen in the morning
Squeeze about half an inch or less of the cream or gel onto your fingertips. Gently apply to the specific areas on your skin where you need it to work. The medication should fade into your skin right away. If it doesn’t, try using a little less the next day. Keep in mind that using a larger amount of tretinoin or using it more often won’t make it work faster. In fact, it could cause skin irritation.
