Retin A Gel 0,1 (Tretinoin 0.1%)

Retin A Gel 0,1 is a topical gel containing tretinoin 0.1%, the active retinoid form of vitamin A, supplied in 20 g tubes for once-daily skin application. We list it here as a prescription topical gel, distinct from tretinoin creams or lotions, so you can order the exact strength and tube count your regimen calls for.

What Is Retin A Gel 0,1?

Tretinoin gel works directly on skin cells to speed cell turnover, unclog pores, and reduce the buildup that leads to acne breakouts. Clinicians may also prescribe topical tretinoin to smooth fine wrinkles and improve mottled skin discoloration associated with sun damage, though these benefits typically take months of consistent use to become visible. Tretinoin is authorized for human medicinal use in the United States and remains a widely prescribed option decades after its original approval.

How It Works and What to Expect

Applied thinly once a day, usually in the evening, tretinoin gel increases the rate at which skin cells shed and regenerate. Most people notice some dryness, redness, or peeling in the first two to six weeks as skin adjusts; visible improvement in acne or texture generally follows over eight to twelve weeks of steady use. Because tretinoin increases sun sensitivity, daytime sunscreen and avoiding peak sun exposure are standard parts of any routine that includes it.

Tube Counts We Offer

We offer Retin A Gel 0,1 in a single 20 g tube size, with the tube count adjustable to fit shorter or longer courses of treatment. The table below summarizes what we currently stock.

Choosing a larger tube count simply reduces how often you reorder; it does not change the 0.1% strength or how the gel is used from one tube to the next.

Dosing, Application, and Safety Notes

• Application: Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry skin once daily, avoiding the eyes, lips, nostrils, and mucous membranes.
• Starting slowly: Many clinicians recommend applying every other night for the first one to two weeks if the skin is sensitive, then moving to nightly use as tolerated.
• Combining products: Using tretinoin alongside other drying or irritating products, such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alcohol-based astringents, can increase irritation, so these are usually spaced out or used with care.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Tretinoin's labeling notes reported cases in pregnancy and advises weighing potential benefit against risk with a clinician; nursing parents are advised to avoid applying it where a nursing infant could have skin contact.
• Age: Safety and effectiveness for acne have been established from age 12 upward; use in younger children has not been established.
• Storage: Store the tube tightly closed between 68°F and 77°F, away from light, heat, and open flame, since the gel base is flammable.

Common side effects are limited mostly to the treated skin, including dryness, mild burning, redness, and peeling, which often ease as the skin adjusts. Tretinoin gel is not expected to affect alertness or the ability to drive, and it carries no specific interaction with diabetes management. It is contraindicated only for people with a known hypersensitivity to tretinoin or another ingredient in the gel.
