Introduction
Trebor 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.

How it works
Trebor 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 Trebor 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 Trebor 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. Avoid taking tetracycline (e.g. doxycycline) as it may reduce the Trebor Cream activity. Do not use Trebor Cream if you are pregnant. Inform your doctor if excessive skin dryness or skin sensitivity takes place.
