How does it work:

Isotrex Gel is vitamin-A derived retinoid, prescribed to treat mild to moderate acne. It comes in the form of a gel which is applied topically to the affected areas of skin. In addition to acne, it also is effective in improving the appearance of wrinkles, and is used as an aftercare medication for patients who have undergone laser skin treatment.

Isotrex works by opening the skins pores, and encouraging oil production, which helps to prevent new spots and blackheads forming. It also encourages blood flow to the skin which quickens your bodies replacement of new skin cells, resulting in fresher, younger looking skin.

Dosage & Administration:

Please note that Isotrex must be used consistently for a period of at least 6 weeks in order to begin to notice the effects of medication.

Always follow the instructions of your physician. The steps below are meant as a guide only.

1. Wash your hands and clean your face/the skin to be treated.
2. Allow 10 to 15 minutes to air dry.
3. Squeeze a small amount of gel onto your fingertips and massage the gel into areas you wish to treat in circular motions until the gel dries. Do not apply to a wide area, as the cream works best when used only on concentrated area that need treating.
4. Wash your hands using soap immediately after you finish applying the cream.

Precautions:

Isotrex Gel is for external use only. Avoid applying close to the eyes, mouth or nose. Do not use on any broken, cut, burnt or cancerous skin, or if you have eczema.

Isotrex Gel often causes the skin treated to become increasingly vulnerable to UV rays. Avoid direct exposure to the sun, and cover up as much as possible if it is unavoidable.

Inform your physician before using if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have any allergies, have any other medical conditions or illnesses, or if you are taking any other medication (including non-prescription meds, supplements, and vitamins).
