Treatment of acne vulgaris (comedonal and inflammatory acne) on the face and/or trunk
How Aklief Cream Works
Trifarotene is a topical retinoid that selectively activates retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-gamma in the skin. It normalizes abnormal keratinization, helps prevent comedone formation, and reduces inflammation in acne lesions.
Dosage & Directions
For external use only. Apply a thin layer once daily in the evening to clean, dry affected areas (face and/or trunk) as advised by a dermatologist. Use a pea-sized amount for face; avoid eyes, lips, nostrils and mucous membranes. Moisturizer and sunscreen (SPF) are recommended; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
