A-Ret 0.05% Gel is a potent topical retinoid treatment containing Tretinoin (Retinoic Acid), a derivative of Vitamin A. Often considered the "gold standard" in dermatological care, this gel is designed to treat acne and address signs of photoaging. Unlike cream-based retinoids, this gel formulation is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it particularly effective for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin. It works at a cellular level to normalize skin cell turnover, keeping pores clear and stimulating the production of collagen.

Key Features
Advanced Acne Management
Unclogs Pores: Effectively loosens and removes the "plugs" of sebum and dead skin cells that cause blackheads and whiteheads.
Prevents Breakouts: By accelerating cell turnover, it prevents new acne lesions from forming.
Oil Regulation: Helps reduce excessive sebum production, which is a primary contributor to acne.
2. Anti-Aging & Skin Rejuvenation
Collagen Stimulation: Boosts the production of collagen and elastin to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Texture Smoothing: Gently exfoliates the surface to refine rough skin texture and minimize the appearance of large pores.
Hyperpigmentation: Fades dark spots, sun damage, and post-acne scars for a more even skin tone.
3. Specialized Formulation
Gel Base: Specifically formulated to be non-greasy and quick-drying, ideal for those who find creams too heavy.
0.05% Concentration: A moderate-to-high strength that provides a balance between significant results and manageable skin acclimation.
4. Safety & Application Tips
Nighttime Use: Tretinoin is light-sensitive and should only be applied once daily in the evening.
Sun Sensitivity: This product increases your skin’s sensitivity to UV rays; daily application of SPF 30+ is mandatory.
"Purging" Period: It is common for acne to temporarily worsen during the first few weeks of use as the skin clears out deep-seated impurities.
