Stieva-A 0.025% gel contains tretinoin, a retinoid that effectively treats acne by increasing cell turnover. This speeds up the shedding of dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and reducing acne breakouts.
Expect improvements in several key areas:
- Reduced Acne Lesions: Tretinoin unclogs pores, decreasing the number and severity of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Minimized Inflammation: It helps reduce redness and swelling associated with acne. Improved Skin Texture: Regular use promotes smoother, clearer skin by reducing the appearance of acne scars and uneven texture.
To maximize results, follow these guidelines:
Start with a pea-sized amount applied thinly to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Use sunscreen daily with an SPF of 30 or higher, as tretinoin increases sun sensitivity. Be patient. Results take time; significant improvement is often visible after several weeks of consistent use. Initial dryness or irritation is common but usually subsides. Gradually increase frequency as tolerated. Your dermatologist can guide you on the best application schedule. Avoid harsh scrubs and exfoliants while using tretinoin, as they can increase irritation.
Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting Stieva-A 0.025% gel, especially if you have sensitive skin or other skin conditions. They can assess your skin type and recommend the best treatment plan.
