How to Use:
Morning Routine
- Apply a moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen, that will not aggravate your acne.
Nighttime Routine:
- Wash with a mild soap and dry skin gently
- Wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow skin to completely dry
- Squeeze no more than half an inch of medication onto fingertip; more medication will not yield faster or better results and may cause irritation
- Apply onto face, covering affected area lightly, starting with your forehead, chin, and both cheeks, then spread over the entire affected area
- Avoid corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds
Precautions:
- Tretinoin is for topical use, only
- Tretinoin should be applied once daily, or as directed by physician
- Use Obagi Tretinoin Gel with caution if allergic to fish
- Please ensure to always read and follow the Patient Instruction in the Prescribing Information leaflet that accompanies your tretinoin prescription
- Tretinoin acne treatment should be kept away from the eyes, the mouth, paranasal creases, and mucous membranes
- Application of excessive amounts of gel will not provide incremental efficacy
