Retigel Topical Gel 0.05% contains Isotretinoin, a vitamin A derivative formulated for topical application to treat acne vulgaris. It is particularly effective for managing mild to moderate inflammatory acne, including papules, pustules, and comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). Unlike oral isotretinoin, topical formulations target affected areas directly, minimizing systemic exposure while effectively reducing acne lesions.

Isotretinoin works by regulating the growth and shedding of skin cells within hair follicles, preventing the formation of clogged pores. It also reduces sebum production, which decreases the oily environment that supports the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. Additionally, Retigel has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness, swelling, and irritation associated with acne.

Retigel Topical Gel 0.05% is suitable for long-term acne management under medical supervision. Regular use helps improve skin texture, prevent new breakouts, and reduce the likelihood of permanent scarring caused by untreated acne lesions.
