Product description

Retacnyl is a topical retinoid cream containing tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) - the gold-standard molecule in dermatology for acne treatment and skin renewal. Tretinoin accelerates cell turnover, prevents formation of new comedones and normalizes keratinization inside the follicle.

The 0.025% concentration is the classic starting strength: effective, with a gentler skin adaptation period than 0.05% or 0.1%. Original product by Galderma - one of the leading dermatology manufacturers worldwide.

Indications

• acne vulgaris (comedonal and papulopustular forms);
• skin renewal support in photodamaged skin - as prescribed by a dermatologist;
• adjunctive therapy in dermatology protocols.

How to use

Apply a thin layer to cleansed, fully dry skin once daily at bedtime (sun exposure must be avoided - tretinoin increases photosensitivity). Start every other day for the first 2 weeks to assess tolerance, then daily if well tolerated. Avoid the eye area, nostrils and lips. Always use SPF 30+ in the morning during the course.

Visible results in acne protocols typically appear within 6-12 weeks of regular use; full skin renewal effects take longer. Do not combine with other strong actives (benzoyl peroxide, AHA/BHA peels) in the same application unless directed by your dermatologist.

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to tretinoin or any excipient;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• sunburn, eczema or irritated skin in the application area;
• concurrent use of other photosensitizing medicines - discuss with the physician.

Side effects

Common in the first weeks (retinization period): redness, peeling, dryness, mild burning. These effects usually fade as skin adapts. If severe irritation occurs, reduce frequency and consult your dermatologist.

Storage conditions

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C, protect from light. Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ

Is Retacnyl the same as tretinoin?

Yes. Retacnyl is the original French topical tretinoin cream by Galderma. The same molecule is sold worldwide under different brand names (Retin-A, Airol, Stieva-A) - Retacnyl is the European reference.

0.025% or 0.05% - which to start with?

For first-time tretinoin users, 0.025% is the standard starting strength: effective with a gentler adaptation period. Higher strengths (0.05%, 0.1%) are for experienced users or specific dermatology protocols.

When will I see results?

In acne protocols, visible improvement typically appears within 6-12 weeks. Skin renewal effects take longer. Patience and daily SPF are essential.

Can I use it during summer?

Only with strict sun protection (SPF 30+ daily, avoid direct sun exposure). Tretinoin increases photosensitivity - sunburn risks are higher during the course.

Can I use Retacnyl during pregnancy?

No. Tretinoin is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
