Factor A Gel is used to treat acne (pimples) and sun-damaged skin. It contains Tretinoin, (a form of vitamin A) that loosens and unblocks pores on the skin's surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Some people may experience side effects such as dry skin, peeling, redness, burning, itching, or stinging sensation of the skin. Avoid sun exposure while using this medicine, as it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen lotion while going out to protect your skin from sunburn.

About Factor A Gel
Factor A Gel is used to treat acne (pimples) and sun-damaged skin. Acne is a skin condition that is common and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.
Factor A Gel contains tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A), that loosens and unblocks pores on the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.
Factor A Gel is for external use only. Your doctor will advise you on how often you use Factor A Gel based on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Factor A Gel with nose, mouth, eyes, ears, or vagina. In case Factor A Gel comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience dry skin, peeling, redness, burning, itching, or stinging sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Factor A Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Factor A Gel or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, a nursing mother, or planning for pregnancy, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Factor A Gel. Avoid sun exposure while using Factor A Gel as it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen lotion (SPF) while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not apply Factor A Gel in larger amounts than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but causes peeling, marked redness, or skin discomfort. Patients with a history of depression, eczema, history of skin cancer, and fish allergies should use Factor A Gel with caution.
