Strong Tretinoin

Tretinoin Cream 0.05% is used to treat acne, scaly skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Tretinoin works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun. Tretinoin is made from Vitamin A (which is also known as a “retinoid”). Tretinoin may cause side effects like peeling, itching, and redness, so it is important to acclimate to this product.

Before using this product, you should start with a milder version like Revision Skincare Retinol Complete, Alastin Skincare Renewal Retinol, and SkinMedica Retinol Complex.

If you have directions from your doctor please follow them. Before using this product watch Dr. Kelly Bomer’s Anti-Aging Series Video: How to Apply Retinol, below and learn how to apply it for the best results.

Tretinoin is available by prescription, it can’t be sold online and you must be a Rejuvent Patient to purchase it. If you are not a patient you can easily become one at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Tretinoin 0.5% and Tretinoin 0.1%?
The 0.1% is the strongest version with a higher concentration of Retinoic acid.

What is the best way to acclimate to a strong retinol?
Start with a lower dose and build your tolerance up. Usually, you start with a light concentration of Retinol. Once you are acclimated to that, and your skin is no longer getting irritated, you can then acclimate to the stronger retinol twice a week, then three times a week, and build up over the course of a few months until you can use it every night.

With this strong retinol cream, you might peel and have redness even if you acclimate.

Retinol is the most rejuvenating ingredient BUT consistency is key. Find the best Retinol your skin can tolerate and the results will be visible.

What is the difference between Retinol and Tretinoin?
They are very different. Tretinoin contains Retinoic Acid and is sometimes referred to as Retin-A (Retin-A is a brand name, same as Refissa). Tretinoin is sold only by prescription. Retinol is a milder ingredient with fewer side effects.

Is Retinol or Tretinoin better for your skin?
Both are designed to create peeling and exfoliate dead skin, both will accelerate cell turnover, both can help acne, both can help boost collagen production. Retinol is usually the better option for sensitive skin, dry, mature, and sensitized skin. Tretinoin is faster acting than Retinol but not everyone will appreciate its side effects. Tretinoin is excellent for acne-prone customers and skin that require a stronger treatment. If your doctor prescribed Tretinoin you should follow their advice as your doctor has seen you and has a better understanding of your skin needs.

What are the side effects of Tretinoin?
Skin irritation, itching, burning, stinging, redness, discoloration, dryness, flaking, sensitivity to sunlight, sensitivity to cold and/or wind.

You must use sunscreen during the day when using this product. We recommend EltaMD sunscreens, Alastin SilkSHIELD, Revision Skincare Intellishade Clear, or Intellishade Original or Matte.

If you are pregnant you should not use this product.

The IMAX Tretinoin is also available in stronger 0.1% formulation – Tretinoin 0.1%

Retinol is our most powerful skin rejuvenator. It exfoliates, tightens pores, thickens the dermis (deeper layer of the skin), reduces wrinkles, and increases the ability of the skin to build and maintain higher levels of hyaluronic acid.

Retinol requires acclimation initially and can cause irritation, dryness, itchiness , peeling and overall sensitivity if not apply correctly in accordance to your skin’s sensitivity.

If you are new to retinol, you should start with a low concentration and when the skin gets acclimated then you can work your way to something of higher concentration.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and advice.

Directions for use:

  1. Cleanse the skin and apply Retinol to DRY skin-Use Retinol at night only
  2. Start with 1/2 pea size of Retinol and apply on outer face first and then work inward, avoid the corners of the eyes, nose and mouth, wait few minutes and then apply moisturizer.
  3. Apply product twice a week and slowly increase to every night over a month or two as your skin get acclimated and gradually increasing the amount of product to ½ pea size to 1 pump.
  4. ALWAYS use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day when using retinol . Retinol increases sun sensitivity and irritation can occur.
  5. When skin gets acclimated, AM usage can be effective, but only using it correctly can give you rejuvenating effects.
  6. The neck reacts differently to retinol compared to the face. Side effects are itchy and red pumps when scratched, peeling, dryness ,and redness. Retinol can rejuvenate the neck as well when tolerated. Be careful when starting retinol on the face to not pull it onto the neck without it being a planned event. Proceed with gentle acclimation over months and careful not to scratch, if it starts to itch. Scratching will create red pumps that take about 2 weeks to resolve.
