Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative commonly used to treat certain skin conditions like acne and aging when used topically. Topical tretinoin increases the rate of skin cell turnover, which can help to clear acne and reduce fine lines associated with aging as well as fade dark spots. Tretinoin is a powerful, prescription-only acne medication from the family of retinoids. #### What is niacinamide? Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that is available in a variety of foods, oral supplements and topical creams for acne. In its topical form, niacinamide is often combined with other active ingredients in acne treatments. #### What is clindamycin? Clindamycin is an antibiotic available in oral and topical forms to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. When added to facial treatments, clindamycin can be effective by reducing acne-causing bacteria. #### What causes acne? Acne occurs when dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, which allows bacteria to grow and causes inflammation and irritation. There are many forms of acne, including whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and cysts. #### What is the best treatment for acne? The best treatment for acne depends on your skin type and the root cause of your acne. An online or in-person consultation with a medical provider can help determine what will be most effective for you. #### How do you apply acne cream? Apply topical acne treatments to the affected area as directed, typically once or twice daily, to clean, dry skin. Applying a moisturizer after acne cream may help restore skin barrier as well as negate potential irritation from the treatment itself. #### Is acne cream available over the counter? Our acne cream is available by prescription only because it contains prescription-strength ingredients that you can’t get in OTC products. ### Important Safety Information - Do not use the Acne treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients that may be found in the acne formulas, including: - Tretinoin - Clindamycin - Niacinamide - Azelaic Acid - Do not use if you are under 13 years of age, or if you have severe cystic acne. - Tretinoin should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. - Common side effects include stinging, irritation, itching, burning, redness, dry skin, peeling, and increased sensitivity to the sun. - It is recommended to use a benzoyl peroxide wash twice a day while using the treatment.
