Tretinoin 0.1% Cream is a prescription-only topical formulation containing a high concentration of tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A. This emollient-based cream is indicated for dermatological use as part of a medically supervised skincare plan for patients managing acne vulgaris, facial hyperpigmentation, and fine lines that have not responded adequately to general skincare routines and sun protection strategies alone.
This treatment is designed for use under the direction of a qualified healthcare provider and is recommended as an adjunct to a comprehensive skin health protocol that includes broad-spectrum sun protection, emollients, and protective clothing.
Supports management of acne vulgaris when first-line topical treatments are insufficient
Used in the appearance of fine lines and uneven pigmentation of facial skin under medical supervision

Avoid the eye area, lips, and any areas with broken or eczematous skin. Use as part of a routine that includes daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and protective measures such as wearing a wide-brimmed hat or avoiding direct sun exposure.
