The Purge: Acne usually worsens in the first 2-6 weeks. This is normal. Do not stop treatment.

Gel Specific Effects: Because this is an alcohol gel, you may feel:

•  Immediate Stinging
•  Tightness
•  Intense Peeling
•  Drying of pimples

DIRECTION TO USE

1. Cleanse: Wash with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
2. Wait (Crucial): Wait 20-30 minutes. The gel base can sting significantly if applied to damp skin.
3. Tiny Amount: Use a pea-sized amount. The gel spreads easily and dries quickly, so work fast.
4. Moisturize: Wait for the gel to dry fully (1-2 mins), then apply a moisturizer to combat the drying effects of the alcohol base.

Critical Safety Warning

• Pregnancy: STRICTLY DO NOT USE if pregnant or breastfeeding. Tretinoin is teratogenic (causes birth defects).
• High Irritation Risk: The 0.1% strength combined with an alcohol gel base is very drying. Expect stinging and peeling. Not recommended for dry or sensitive skin.
•  Warning: Do not apply to broken skin or open wounds (popped pimples) as it will sting intensely.
