Indications & Clinical Uses

Altreno 0.05% Lotion is a prescription retinoid designed to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It works by promoting skin cell turnover, which helps clear existing blemishes and prevent new ones. The lotion formulation is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it suitable for daily use. It is also used to improve overall skin texture and tone.

Side Effects

Users often notice smoother, clearer skin within a few weeks of consistent use. The lotion may cause mild redness or dryness as the skin adjusts. Over time, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven pigmentation. Some may experience temporary peeling or sensitivity, especially during initial application.

Precautions & Warnings

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night, avoiding eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. Start with every other night to minimize irritation. Always use sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin increases sun sensitivity. Avoid using other strong acne treatments or exfoliants simultaneously.

Avoid Interactions

Avoid combining with other topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or strong acids like salicylic acid, as this may increase irritation. Alcohol-based products can dry out the skin further. If using other medications, consult a healthcare provider to prevent potential interactions. Keep away from open wounds or eczematous skin.
