About This Product
A Ret 0.025% Gel is a prescription skincare medicine that contains Tretinoin 0.025% w/w, a vitamin A derivative commonly used in the management of acne. It is often recommended for people who experience blackheads, whiteheads, and mild to moderate pimples caused by clogged pores. With regular use as directed by a healthcare professional, it helps support healthier-looking skin over time.
Tretinoin works by encouraging the skin to shed old cells more efficiently while helping prevent new pores from becoming blocked. This process may reduce the formation of acne lesions and improve overall skin texture. Since skin renewal takes time, visible improvements usually appear gradually rather than immediately.
Many dermatologists prescribe A Ret 0.025% Gel as an early-strength tretinoin option for individuals beginning topical retinoid treatment. The lightweight gel spreads easily over affected areas and is intended for external use only.
Because tretinoin can make the skin more sensitive during the first few weeks of treatment, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Using sunscreen, a gentle cleanser, and a moisturizer can help support your skincare routine while using this medicine.

How It Works
Tretinoin belongs to a group of medicines called retinoids, which are related to vitamin A. It helps the skin replace old skin cells with new ones more efficiently. This process reduces the build-up of dead skin that can clog pores and contribute to acne. As the skin renews itself, existing blemishes may gradually improve and new ones may become less frequent when the medicine is used consistently as directed.
