To buy Retin A cream online from Canada, you need a prescription from a doctor or healthcare professional.

Product Overview

Retino-A is an FDA-approved cream used to treat acne, which shows up as spots or pimples on your face, chest, or back. It also helps to make rough facial skin smoother and reduce fine wrinkles. This cream decreases too much oil on your skin. It’s best to apply it in small amounts at night, as directed by your doctor. The amount you use and how long you use it will depend on what your doctor recommends.

Before putting on the cream, wash and dry the affected area. Follow your healthcare provider or doctor’s instructions carefully. Don’t use it on damaged or broken skin, and keep it away from your mouth, eyes, and nose. It might take a few weeks for you to notice any improvement, so keep using it regularly. If you don’t see any changes after a while, talk to your doctor again. Using more cream or using it more often won’t make it work faster and could cause more side effects. 

The most common side effects are skin irritation, dryness, and redness, but they usually get better as your body adjusts to the cream. Drink plenty of water and use moisturizer if your mouth, lips, or eyes get dry. Tell your doctor if these side effects bother you or don’t go away. Serious side effects are rare, but the cream might make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so try to limit your time in the sun. It could also make your skin more delicate, so avoid waxing or laser treatments while using it. If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, don’t use this cream because it could harm the baby.

Frequently Asked Questions

What precautions should be taken when using Tretinoin?

For the first 6 months, be careful not to expose the treated areas too much to sunlight, wind, or cold weather. Your skin might get sunburned, dry, or irritated, especially in the first 2-3 weeks. But don’t stop using this medicine unless the skin irritation becomes too severe. Remember to use sunscreen & protective clothing to shield your skin. If you have concerns about irritation, consult your doctor for guidance on managing it effectively. Taking these precautions will help ensure the best results from your treatment.

Should I use Retin-A every night?

You can apply Retin-A (Tretinoin) every night after your skin gets used to it. It might take a few weeks or a couple of months for your skin to get used to Tretinoin every day. The time it takes also depends on the type and strength of Tretinoin you’re using. It’s important to start with a small amount and gradually increase it to avoid irritation. If you experience redness or discomfort, you can try using it every other night or less frequently until your skin adjusts. Additionally, always use sunscreen during the day when using Tretinoin to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful effects. Consult with your doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare provider for personalized advice based on skin type & concerns.

When should I stop using Retin-A?

Many people use Tretinoin for a long time to manage persistent acne. Usually, they stop when their skin clears up or when they don’t see improvements anymore. Some people, even after their breakouts decrease, still use Tretinoin to keep their skin healthy. It helps maintain their skin and prevent future breakouts.

What age should I start Tretinoin?

Unlike Tretinoin, this treatment is gentler on the skin and has fewer side effects. That’s why even children as young as 9 years old can use it safely. In comparison, most similar treatments are recommended only for those who are at least 12 years old. This makes it a suitable option for younger patients with less risk of irritation.
