What is Skin-A Cream?

Skin-A Cream is a topical acne treatment formulated with 0.05% w/w Tretinoin USP, a retinoid that works at the cellular level to clear clogged pores and reduce acne breakouts. It is widely prescribed in Pakistan for moderate to severe acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne, and is also used to improve overall skin texture.

Composition & Generic Name

How Does Skin-A Cream Work?

Mechanism of Action

Tretinoin belongs to the retinoid family and works by increasing skin cell turnover. It unblocks clogged hair follicles and pores — the root cause of cystic acne — and prevents new comedones (blackheads/whiteheads) from forming. Because it opens up blocked follicles, Skin-A Cream is often used alongside topical or oral antibiotics, allowing the antibiotic to reach and eliminate acne-causing bacteria more effectively.

Uses & Benefits of Skin-A Cream

Key Uses

• Moderate to severe acne (blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules)

How to Use Skin-A Cream

1. Cleanse — Wash the affected area with a mild, gentle cleanser and pat dry completely (Tretinoin can irritate damp skin).
2. Apply — Apply a pea-sized amount in a thin layer to the affected areas only. Avoid eyes, lips, and open wounds.
3. Timing — Use at night, ideally 20–30 minutes after washing, since Tretinoin breaks down in sunlight.
4. Frequency — Start with alternate nights to build tolerance, then move to nightly use as advised by your doctor.
5. Sun Protection — Always use sunscreen (SPF 30+) during the day, as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.

Always follow your dermatologist's instructions, as usage frequency may vary by skin type and acne severity.
