Medicine Description topinoid 0.05%
Topinoid Gel is a topical dermatological medication formulated for the management of advanced skin conditions. It
contains tazarotene, a retinoid that promotes skin cell renewal by accelerating the turnover of epidermal cells.
The gel helps remove dead skin cells, reduces scaling associated with psoriasis, and improves acne lesions.
It also enhances the skin's overall appearance by reducing localized inflammation associated with certain chronic skin
disorders, stimulating the growth of healthy new skin cells, and gradually restoring the skin's natural texture,
balance, and elasticity.

How to Use Topinoid Correctly
Gently wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly. Wait 15–20 minutes after cleansing before applying the gel,
especially if the skin has just been washed, as this helps reduce the likelihood of irritation.
Apply only a pea-sized amount
and spread it gently over the affected areas without excessive use.
Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, corners of the nose, and other mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly with
soap and water after applying the gel unless the hands are the treatment area.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.
Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze.
Keep the gel tightly closed in its original packaging and out of the reach of children.
