Product Description

Retacnyl 0.05% is a topical dermatological cream that contains tretinoin (retinoic acid) as its active ingredient. Developed by Galderma, this product is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating acne vulgaris and combating the signs of photoaging. By acting directly on the receptors of skin cells, tretinoin stimulates cell renewal, prevents pore blockage, and promotes collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even, and rejuvenated skin texture.

Main Ingredients and Benefits

· Tretinoin (Retinoic Acid) 0.05%: A derivative of Vitamin A that accelerates the skin renewal cycle, helps expel comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), and reduces the formation of new acne lesions. · Emollient Cream Base: Formulated to minimize irritation and dryness commonly associated with the use of potent retinoids, keeping the skin barrier protected during treatment. · Glycerin: Acts as a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, helping to compensate for the initial flaking during the renewal process.

Skin Benefits and Different Skin Types

Retacnyl 0.05% offers transformative benefits by acting on the deep regeneration of skin tissue. For oily and acne-prone skin, it drastically reduces excess oiliness and refines pores, preventing acne breakouts. In mature or sun-damaged skin, the product works to smooth fine wrinkles, expression lines, and lighten superficial spots, improving overall elasticity and radiance. Being an intermediate concentration, it allows for visible results with a balance between efficacy and skin tolerability.

Intended Skin Type

· Acne-prone skin (mild to moderate acne).

· Mature skin with signs of premature aging.

· Skin with uneven texture or enlarged pores.

· Skin with superficial hyperpigmentation.

How to Use

· Apply the product strictly at night. · Wash the face with a gentle cleanser and completely dry the skin (wait about 15 to 20 minutes after washing to ensure the skin is not damp). · Apply a small amount (similar to a pea size) to the entire face, avoiding the eye contour, corners of the nose, and lips. · At the beginning of treatment, it is recommended to use it on alternate nights to allow the skin to adapt. · The use of high-factor sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher) during the day is mandatory, as tretinoin increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

Additional Information and Precautions

· Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. · Redness, burning, and peeling may occur in the first weeks of use; this is an expected effect of the retinization process. · Avoid simultaneous use of other chemical exfoliants, strong acids, or products containing alcohol. · Keep the product at room temperature and protected from direct light.
