Introduction
Atoin 0.025% Cream reduces excessive oil production of the skin. Ideally, a pinpoint application at nighttime is recommended for the duration prescribed by your doctor. The amount you need and for how long you need to take it will depend on what you are being treated for. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of this medicine. Follow your doctor’s instructions. You should not apply it to damaged or broken skin and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve but keep using it regularly to get the most benefit. Consult your doctor again if you do not notice any improvement after a few weeks. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster and may increase the side effects.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.
How it works
Atoin 0.025% Cream is a form of vitamin A. When applied on the skin, it reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes acne-prone skin, and helps keep your pores open.
Quick Tips
Clean the affected area with water and a non-medicated soap. Let it dry for 20-30 minutes before applying Atoin 0.025% Cream. It may increase the severity of the spots or pimples in the first few weeks of use. Continue using it as prescribed by your doctor. It may cause a stinging sensation or a feeling of warmth when you first start using it. Inform your doctor if this persists. Avoid exposure to sunlight while using Atoin 0.025% Cream as it increases the sensitivity of your skin. Use protective measures such as sunscreen or protective clothing. Avoid face waxing and laser treatment while using this medicine as it makes your skin more fragile.
