The gel-like consistency allows for optimal absorption of the active ingredients, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking a comprehensive solution for their skin conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other topical treatments, offering flexibility in treatment plans.

Patients should be aware that this formulation may cause skin irritation and dryness. It should be used with caution, particularly in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel is a compounded formulation that combines three active ingredients: Spironolactone 5%, Niacinamide 2%, and Tretinoin 0.025%. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that functions by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates the balance of salt and water in the body. In this formulation, it aids in reducing the production of sebum, a substance that can clog pores and lead to acne.

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is included for its ability to reduce inflammation and improve skin tone. It is particularly beneficial in treating skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and melasma. Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, making it a valuable component in anti-aging skincare.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively. It is recommended to apply the gel to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.

It is important to note that this topical gel can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Therefore, it is advised to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when using this product. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid using other topical products, such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid, as these can interact with the ingredients in the gel and potentially cause irritation.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in finding the most effective treatment for your skin condition.
