How to Use Generic Retin-A Gel (Retino-A Cream)
Retino-A cream by Johnson & Johnson is usually applied once daily, in the evening. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster, and may increase side effects. Do not use for longer than your doctor has prescribed. Before applying, clean and dry the skin area to be treated. Wash your hands before and after applying it.
Wait at least 20 minutes after washing your face before applying a thin layer of the medication. Applying the cream to wet skin may cause skin irritation. Do not wash the treated area for at least 1 hour after applying this medicine. Applying an excessive amount of gel may result in "pilling" of the medication. If this occurs, use a thinner layer of gel with the next application.
It should be used as part of a complete skin care program that includes avoiding sunlight and using an effective sunscreen and protective clothing.
Use Generic Retin-A for as many days as it has been prescribed for you even if you think it is not working. It may take weeks or months of use before you notice improvement in your skin. If you are using it to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication. Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.
Use Retin-A as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not apply extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
