Face Creams
GoodPharma Night Cream
GoodPharma Night Cream is an evening anti-wrinkle cream for men and women to help with fine lines, firming, and sun damage. It is available on prescription only.
This cream contains: Tretinoin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q-10, DMAE, and Glycolic Acid
Although the tretinoin in this product is low strength, it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, the product should only be used at bedtime, and moisturizing sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater) should be used during the day.
Directions:
- Wash and dry face at bedtime
- Put a pea-size amount on palm and use fingertip to dab small dots on face
- Pat skin to spread into a thin layer
- Wash off in morning and use a UVA/UVB sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater) during the day
If redness or irritation occurs, wait 30 minutes after washing and drying before applying. Apply every other day until irritation subsides. It may take 3-4 months before brown spots and freckles fade and fine wrinkles diminish.
