A-Ret Description
What is A-Ret?
A-Ret is a topical retinoid offered by Australian online pharmacies. It is used to treat acne and refine skin texture by speeding up skin cell turnover. The medicine belongs to the retinoid family and is applied to the skin, usually once daily at night. In Australia, A-Ret is a prescription only medicine (S4). Dosing strengths commonly seen are 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% depending on the product and doctor’s advice. Your online pharmacist will confirm the correct strength for your skin and provide the appropriate instructions.
How to use A-Ret
Begin with clean, dry skin. Use a pea‑sized amount and apply thinly to affected areas only. Start by using it every second or third night for the first 1–2 weeks to reduce irritation. If your skin tolerates it well, increase to once nightly or as directed. Do not apply to eyes, lips, nostrils, or broken skin. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, you may apply moisturiser after or before the retinoid as advised by your pharmacist. In the daytime, use sunscreen SPF 30+ and avoid strong sun exposure. Do not layer with harsh products like rubbing alcohol or astringents. If you use benzoyl peroxide, you may apply it at a different time or in a combination product if prescribed.
What to expect and who should avoid
Some people notice improvements after 6–12 weeks. Initial irritation, redness, or dryness is common and usually eases with slower introduction or moisturisers. If you have very irritated skin, stop and contact your pharmacist or doctor. Do not use A-Ret during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you are planning pregnancy, seek professional advice, and discuss alternatives. If you are taking other acne medicines including isotretinoin or antibiotics, inform your clinician before starting A-Ret.
Safety, storage and Australian specifics
Online pharmacies in Australia require a current prescription and provide pharmacist support. Store A-Ret in a cool, dry place away from children. Check the expiry date on the tube. If your skin reacts badly or you experience swelling or blistering, seek urgent medical help. Do not share your medicine and do not use someone else’s prescription. Prices vary by strength and brand; your online pharmacy may offer bundles or pharmacist advice calls as part of the service.
