Tracnesan (0.05%) 30g Cream

Tracnesan 0.05% Cream is a topical retinoid medication used to treat acne vulgaris and improve skin texture. It helps unclog pores, reduce blackheads and pimples, and promote skin cell turnover to reveal smoother, clearer skin. The active ingredient, Tretinoin, is a derivative of vitamin A that helps reduce acne breakouts and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation with regular use.

Uses

• Fine wrinkles and photoaged skin (due to sun exposure)

• Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

Dosage

• Apply a thin layer once daily, preferably at night, or as directed by your dermatologist.

• Begin with less frequent use (every other night) if irritation occurs, then gradually increase frequency.

In Case of Overdose

• If accidentally swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.

Missed Dose

• Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose.

• Do not apply extra cream to make up for the missed dose.

How To Use

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry completely.

2. Wait about 20–30 minutes before applying the cream to minimize irritation.

3. Apply a pea-sized amount evenly to the affected area.

4. Avoid applying to eyes, mouth, nostrils, or broken skin.

5. Use sunscreen during the day, as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.
