Maximum Strength
Tretiheal Cream 0.1%
The highest standard concentration available. A powerful prescription-strength retinoid designed for severe acne, deep textural scarring, and advanced photo-aging.
Severe Acne Action
Highly effective for persistent cystic acne or lesions that have not responded to lower strengths. It forces rapid pore clearing.
Deep Renewal
Stimulates rapid collagen production in the deeper dermal layers to smooth rough texture and reduce deep wrinkles.
Scar Fading
Accelerates the fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left by old acne) and helps improve the appearance of stretch marks.
CRITICAL: Pregnancy Warning
DO NOT USE this medicine if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Tretinoin is teratogenic (can cause severe birth defects).
High Potency Warning
This is 0.1% strength—it is very strong. Significant peeling, redness, and stinging are expected side effects.
- Antibiotics: Do not mix with Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., Doxycycline).
- No Waxing: Do not wax treated areas; skin will tear.
- Strict Sun Protection: SPF 30+ daily is mandatory.
Application Protocol
Cleanse & Wait (Critical)
Wash with a gentle cleanser. Gently pat dry. Wait 20-30 minutes until skin is completely dry. Applying 0.1% cream to damp skin will cause severe burning.
Strictly Pea-Sized
Squeeze a very small amount (size of a pea) onto your fingertip. This is enough for the whole face. Using more will damage your skin barrier.
Apply Gently
Spread a thin layer over the entire face. Avoid sensitive zones: eyes, corners of the mouth, and nose creases.
🥪 Pro Tip: The “Sandwich Method”
To tolerate 0.1% strength, we highly recommend this method:
- Apply a layer of moisturizer.
- Wait 10 minutes for it to dry.
- Apply your pea-sized amount of Tretiheal.
- Apply another layer of moisturizer on top.
Expected Side Effects
With 0.1% strength, side effects are almost guaranteed during the first few weeks.
- ✓ Significant peeling
- ✓ Redness (Erythema)
- ✓ Burning/Stinging sensation
- ✓ “The Purge” (temporary breakout)
Frequently Asked Questions
My skin is extremely red. What do I do?
+
This is common. Try reducing frequency to twice a week. Use the “Sandwich Method” described above. If irritation persists, stop using and consult a doctor; you may need a lower strength.
How long until I see results?
+
Acne: Usually 8-12 weeks for significant clearing.
Anti-Aging: 6 months or longer for deep wrinkles. Be patient; consistent nightly use is key.
Is Tretiheal the same as Retin-A?
+
Yes. “Retin-A” is a brand name. “Tretiheal” is a generic containing the exact same active ingredient: Tretinoin 0.1%. They work identically.
