Retacnyl contains adapalene, a retinoid applied directly to the skin. Consistent nightly use helps address acne by promoting cell turnover and reducing clogged pores.
Start with two to three applications per week to assess skin tolerance before increasing frequency.
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area and lips.
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is required because retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
Follow product instructions and consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
