Note: Retirides 0.1% is no longer distributed in the UK. We now offer Retin-A 0.1% Cream — a medically equivalent prescription formulation of tretinoin.
Retin-A 0.1% Cream is a high-strength topical retinoid containing tretinoin, a powerful derivative of vitamin A. This prescription-only formulation is designed to improve skin conditions such as persistent acne, hyperpigmentation, and photoaging — especially when over-the-counter treatments have failed to deliver results.
This product should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider as part of a personalised skincare plan.
Persistent or stubborn acne vulgaris
Uneven skin tone, melasma, and facial pigmentation
Fine lines and signs of photoaging
Improving skin texture and turnover under medical guidance
Tretinoin 0.1% is not a cosmetic product. It is a clinical-grade topical treatment reserved for patients who require more intensive skin management.
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin once daily in the evening, or as directed by your prescribing clinician. Avoid the eye area, lips, and broken or irritated skin.
Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen is essential. Tretinoin increases sensitivity to UV rays — sun protection is non-negotiable during treatment.
Tretinoin 0.1% – A prescription-strength retinoid that increases skin cell turnover, reduces clogged pores, and visibly improves texture and tone with consistent use.
