Ret Gel is a clinically formulated topical retinoid treatment designed for targeted dermatological intervention. It leverages advanced micro-encapsulation technology to enhance stability and bioavailability of the active ingredient, tretinoin, ensuring consistent therapeutic delivery. This prescription-strength gel is indicated for the management of moderate to severe acne vulgaris and photoaging, offering a potent yet tolerable option for patients seeking significant epidermal improvement. Its lightweight, non-comedogenic base minimizes pore occlusion while maximizing cutaneous absorption, making it suitable for a variety of skin types under professional supervision.

Common use
Ret Gel is primarily prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris, particularly in cases characterized by comedones, papules, and pustules. It is also widely used off-label for mitigating signs of photoaging, including fine wrinkles, tactile roughness, and mottled hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists may recommend it as part of a combination therapy regimen with other topical agents, such as benzoyl peroxide or antibiotics, though careful scheduling is required to avoid interactions. Its use is generally reserved for patients over 12 years of age, following thorough skin assessment and exclusion of contraindications.
Dosage and direction
Apply a pea-sized amount of Ret Gel once daily, preferably in the evening, to thoroughly cleansed and dried skin. Dispense the gel onto fingertips and dot evenly across the forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose before gently massaging into a thin layer. Avoid the eye area, lips, nasolabial folds, and any areas of broken skin or mucous membranes. Initiate therapy with the lowest concentration (0.025%) to assess tolerance, gradually increasing as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients should allow the gel to fully absorb for 20–30 minutes before applying additional skincare products. Consistent use is critical for optimal results, though temporary reduction in frequency may be necessary if irritation occurs.
Precautions
Patients should be advised that transient redness, peeling, and dryness are common during the initial weeks of treatment; these effects typically subside with continued use. Sun sensitivity is significantly increased—broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) must be applied daily, even on cloudy days or indoors near windows. Avoid waxing, laser treatments, or abrasive procedures on treated areas to prevent skin injury. Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if severe irritation, blistering, or crusting develops. Not recommended for use during periods of high sun exposure or extreme weather conditions. Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications
Ret Gel is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to tretinoin or any component of the formulation. It should not be used during pregnancy, due to potential risk of fetal harm, or by nursing mothers without explicit medical guidance. Patients with eczema, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, or other chronic skin conditions should use extreme caution and only under close supervision. Concurrent use with other potentially irritating agents (e.g., sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid) is not recommended unless approved by a prescribing clinician.
Possible side effect
Common side effects include erythema, scaling, itching, stinging, and burning sensations, especially during the initial adaptation phase (often referred to as the “retinization period”). Less frequently, patients may experience photosensitivity, skin discoloration, or exacerbation of acne. Rare but serious adverse effects include severe allergic contact dermatitis, blistering, crusting, or swelling. If any severe or persistent reactions occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention promptly. Most mild to moderate side effects are self-limiting and resolve with appropriate moisturization and adjusted application frequency.
Drug interaction
Concomitant use with other topical medications with drying or exfoliating effects (e.g., benzoyl peroxide, alpha-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid) may increase the risk of irritation—space applications by several hours or use on alternate days. Avoid combining with products containing sulfur, resorcinol, or abrasive agents. Oral retinoids are absolutely contraindicated due to risk of hypervitaminosis A. Exercise caution with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, which may impair skin barrier function. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements being used.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply Ret Gel as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Consistency is important for therapeutic efficacy, but occasional missed applications will not significantly impact long-term outcomes. Resume the regular dosing schedule with the next application.
Overdose
Overapplication of Ret Gel may lead to severe erythema, peeling, discomfort, or skin irritation. In case of suspected overdose, gently cleanse the area with a mild soap and water to remove excess product. Apply a bland emollient and avoid further retinoid use until the skin recovers. If symptoms are severe or persistent, contact a healthcare provider or poison control center. Systemic absorption through topical overdose is unlikely but not impossible; monitor for symptoms of vitamin A toxicity (e.g., headache, nausea, dizziness) in extreme cases.
Storage
Store Ret Gel at controlled room temperature (20–25°C or 68–77°F), in its original packaging, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Discard any unused product after the expiration date printed on the packaging. Do not transfer to other containers, as this may compromise stability and sterility.
