Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when dead skin cells and oil from the skin clog hair follicles. Typical features of the condition include blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your dermatologist. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

Tretinoin is a retinoid, a form of vitamin A that stimulate cell turnover on your skin.
