Skin-A Cream
Price: PKR 171
Product Description
Skin-A Cream is a powerful topical medication formulated with Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A. It is widely prescribed by dermatologists to treat various skin conditions, most notably acne. Tretinoin works by accelerating the skin’s natural exfoliation process, helping to unclog pores and prevent the formation of new pimples and blackheads.
Beyond its effectiveness in combating acne, Skin-A Cream also offers significant anti-aging benefits. By promoting faster cell turnover, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, leading to a smoother, more even skin tone. Regular and consistent use of this cream, as directed by a healthcare professional, can dramatically improve skin texture and clarity, revealing a healthier, more radiant complexion over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How does Tretinoin in Skin-A Cream work? Tretinoin accelerates the rate at which skin cells renew. This increased cell turnover helps to push clogged pores open and prevents dead skin cells from building up, which is a common cause of acne. This process also stimulates collagen production for anti-aging benefits.
Q2: Will my skin get worse before it gets better? Yes, this is a very common side effect known as “purging.” During the first few weeks, you may experience an initial increase in breakouts as the cream brings underlying blemishes to the surface. It is important to continue with the treatment as this phase typically subsides.
Q3: Why is sunscreen so important with this product? Tretinoin makes your skin extremely sensitive and vulnerable to sun damage. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is non-negotiable to prevent sunburn, irritation, and the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Q4: How long does it take to see results? For acne, you may start to see improvements after 6-8 weeks, with significant clearing taking 3-4 months. For anti-aging benefits, it can take 6 months or more to see visible results. Consistency is key.
Q5: Can I use this if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? No. Tretinoin is a potent retinoid that can be harmful if used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. You should not use Skin-A Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
