  • This medication is for use on the face as directed, usually once a day at bedtime.
  • Before you use this medicine, wash with a mild soap and dry the area gently.
  • Wait 20 or 30 minutes before applying.
  • Apply a pea-size amount of cream using just enough to cover your entire affected area lightly.

Side effects like temporary skin irritation, redness may occur. If you have sensitive skin, the use of Retin-A may cause your skin to become excessively red, puffy, blistered, or crusted.

  • Hair products that are irritating, such as permanents or hair removal products
  • Skin products that cause sensitivity to the sun, such as those containing spices or limes
