TWYNEO cream for Acne

TWYNEO is a topical prescription medicine used to treat acne vulgaris in adults and children 9 years of age and older.

It is not known if TWYNEO is safe to use in children below 9 years of age.

TWYNEO works by using microencapsulation technology. So, basically, the TWYNEO cream is designed with microcapsules that control the release of benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin on your skin.

When the cream is applied, both of these ingredients are gradually released onto your skin, so they can work together to fight acne.

Before using TWYNEO Cream, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

• have any other skin problems, including cuts, eczema, or sunburn.

• are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if TWYNEO cream can harm your unborn baby.

• are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. It is not known if TWYNEO cream can pass into your breast milk.

• Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines, prescriptions, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

• Use a mild cleanser to rinse your face, and pat dry with a soft towel.

• Apply a pea-sized amount of TWYNEO cream once daily (morning or night) onto each area of your face (forehead, chin, nose, and cheeks). Avoid your lips, eyes, and mouth.

• Wash your hands, as the cream may bleach or stain fabric.

• Use a moisturizer and sunscreen.

Note: Do not use TWYNEO cream in your eyes, mouth, or vagina.

• Avoid using the TWYNEO cream on skin areas with abrasions, eczema, cuts, or sunburns.

• Do not spend much time in the sunlight. You should avoid using ultraviolet light, sunlamps, and tanning beds during treatment with TWYNEO. Use sunscreen, protective clothing, or a hat to cover the treated areas.
