Retin-A is a retinoid used to treat acne.

Retin-A is a retinoid. It’s a form of vitamin A, a nutrient that helps keep your skin healthy by replacing your skin cells.
Retin-A replaces your old skin cells with new skin cells. It also helps unclog pores in your skin that are plugged with dead skin cells and excessive oil. This helps treat acne and prevent more pimples from forming.

Use Retin-A cream or gel once daily, usually before bedtime. Lightly cover all areas of your skin that have pimples, acne spots, or bumps with a thin layer of the cream or gel.
If you have sensitive skin, you might need to use Retin-A every other night.

Retin-A is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.

Serious side effects are rare with Retin-A. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of the following.

Allergic reaction: itchy, red rash (hives); shortness of breath; chest tightness; swelling of lips, tongue, or face; swelling around the eyes
