About Aklief Cream

Aklief Cream is used to treat acne vulgaris of the face and/or trunk when many comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (small bumps) and pustules (inflammatory pimples) are present. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. Acne occurs due to overactive sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin.

Aklief Cream contains Trifarotene, which works by unplugging blocked hair follicles and preventing the formation of such plugs in the first place.

Aklief Cream is for external use only. Use Aklief Cream as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Aklief Cream based on your medical condition. Aklief Cream may cause common side effects such as skin irritation, itching or sunburn. Most of these side effects of Aklief Cream 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 Trifarotene or any other ingredients in Aklief Cream, tell your doctor. You are recommended to apply a moisturizer from the beginning of treatment, which may help prevent reactions such as peeling, redness, dryness, and stinging/burning. Do not apply Aklief Cream on cuts, scrapes, abraded, eczematous or sunburned skin. Apply Aklief Cream carefully to sensitive areas of the skin such as armpits or neck. Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, including phototherapy or sunlamps during treatment with Aklief Cream. Do not apply Aklief Cream in larger amounts than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but makes your skin scaly, irritated or red.

Uses of Aklief Cream

Treatment of Acne vulgaris (acne)

Medicinal Benefits

Aklief Cream belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids (synthetic vitamin A). Aklief Cream helps skin replace its old skin cells at a faster speed, exfoliating away the old cells in the process and helping prevent the formation of new acne. Thus, it loosens blackheads and whiteheads, making them easier to come out, stops the formation of new whiteheads and blackheads, and lowers the number of inflamed, red acne spots.

Directions for Use

Use Aklief Cream as advised by your doctor. Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected areas of the face (nose, chin, forehead, and right and left cheeks) and all affected trunk areas on clean and dry skin. Avoid contact of Aklief Cream with eyes, eyelids, lips and mucous membranes. If Aklief Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with plenty of lukewarm water immediately.

Storage

Drug Warnings

If you are allergic to Trifarotene or any other ingredients in Aklief Cream, tell your doctor. You are recommended to apply a moisturizer from the beginning of treatment, which may help prevent reactions such as peeling, redness, dryness, and stinging/burning. If symptoms do occur, the doctor may instruct you to start using a moisturizer (if you have not already), to use the cream less often or to stop for a short time. Despite these measures, if the symptoms persist, you may be asked to stop the cream altogether. Do not apply Aklief Cream on cuts, scrapes, abraded, eczematous or sunburned skin. Apply Aklief Cream carefully to sensitive areas of the skin such as armpits or neck. Avoid waxing as a depilatory method on the skin treated with Aklief Cream as it may increase skin sensitivity. Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, including phototherapy or sunlamps during treatment with Aklief Cream. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not apply Aklief Cream in larger amounts than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but makes your skin scaly, irritated or red. Avoid using skin products that may dry or irritate your skin, such as medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, products that contain high amounts of alcohol and soaps, cleansers, and cosmetics that have strong skin drying effects.
