are pregnant or who may become pregnant.
• Not for Irritated Skin: Do not apply on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin (eczema, rosacea, active wounds).
• Night-Only Application: Tretinoin should never be used during the day as it increases sun sensitivity.
• Always Use Sunscreen (SPF 50 ) – Daily sun
protection is mandatory to prevent burns, pigmentation, and sensitivity.

up results but will increase irritation.
