Precautions
Avoid applying on broken, sunburned, or eczema-affected skin. Use sunscreen daily, as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity. Do not use with other harsh skincare products like exfoliants or alcohol-based solutions.
Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and nostrils. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use. Begin with small amounts to minimize irritation. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
