Retino A Cream 0.05% is a prescription-strength topical retinoid formulation containing tretinoin, a gold-standard derivative of vitamin A. It is clinically proven to promote cellular turnover, improve skin texture, and address a range of dermatological concerns from acne to photoaging. This cream works by binding to retinoic acid receptors in the skin, normalizing keratinization and stimulating collagen production. It is intended for use under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective application tailored to individual skin types and conditions.

Common use
Retino A Cream 0.05% is commonly prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris, particularly comedonal and inflammatory acne. It is also widely used off-label for mitigating signs of photoaging, including fine lines, wrinkles, solar lentigines, and actinic keratoses. Dermatologists may recommend it to improve skin texture irregularities, reduce enlarged pores, and address mild to moderate dyspigmentation. It is suitable for use on the face, and in some cases, on the neck, chest, or back, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Dosage and direction
Apply a pea-sized amount of Retino A Cream 0.05% once daily, preferably in the evening, to clean, dry skin. Begin by using it every second or third night to allow skin acclimatization, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Gently smooth a thin layer over the entire affected area, avoiding the eyes, lips, nostrils, and mucous membranes. Do not apply excessive amounts, as this will not enhance efficacy but may increase irritation. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your prescribing physician.
Precautions
- For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, inner nose, mouth, and broken or sunburned skin.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day, as tretinoin increases photosensitivity.
- Minimize or avoid exposure to sunlight and artificial UV sources (e.g., tanning beds).
- Initial redness, peeling, or dryness may occur; these effects often subside with continued use.
- Do not use waxing as a hair removal method on treated areas to avoid skin abrasion.
- Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Discontinue use if severe irritation, hypersensitivity, or infection occurs and consult your physician.
Contraindications
Retino A Cream 0.05% is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to tretinoin or any component of the formulation. It should not be used by those with sunburn, eczema, or other chronic skin conditions affecting the application area unless specifically advised by a dermatologist. Use is contraindicated during pregnancy or in women who may become pregnant due to potential systemic absorption and teratogenic risk. Concurrent use with other potentially irritating topical products (e.g., abrasives, astringents, alcohols) is not recommended.
Possible side effects
Common side effects include erythema, peeling, dryness, itching, and a sensation of warmth or stinging upon application. These reactions are typically mild to moderate and often diminish after 2–4 weeks of use. Less frequently, patients may experience blistering, crusting, severe irritation, or changes in skin pigmentation. Hypersensitivity reactions, such as rash or edema, are rare but should prompt discontinuation and medical evaluation. If severe or persistent side effects occur, consult your healthcare provider.
Drug interaction
Concurrent use with other topical medications, especially those containing sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide, may increase skin irritation. Avoid combining with other retinoids or exfoliating agents unless directed by a physician. Exercise caution when using topical corticosteroids or antibiotics, as interactions may alter efficacy or tolerability. Systemically administered drugs known to cause photosensitivity (e.g., thiazides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones) may compound the photosensitizing effects of tretinoin.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Resume the regular dosing schedule with the next intended application. Consistency supports optimal results, but occasional missed applications are unlikely to significantly impact long-term efficacy.
Overdose
Application of excessive amounts of Retino A Cream 0.05% may lead to severe erythema, peeling, discomfort, or edema. If overdose is suspected, gently cleanse the area to remove excess product. Symptomatic treatment, such as cool compresses or emollients, may provide relief. Seek medical attention if severe irritation, pain, or signs of allergic reaction occur. There is minimal risk of systemic absorption with topical overdose.
Storage
Store Retino A Cream 0.05% at room temperature (15–30°C), in a dry place protected from light. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Discard any expired or deteriorated product appropriately, and do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
