To use Aklief (Trifarotene-topical) gently cleanse and dry the skin. Apply a thin layer of cream to cover the affected area once a day, in the evening. A single pump of cream from the container will provide enough cream for the face, including forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Two pumps will provide enough cream to cover the upper back, shoulders and chest. If needed, one additional pump may be used for the middle and lower back. Apply the cream only to the areas that are affected by acne.
Take special care to minimize contact with the eyes, lips, and other easily irritated areas. Make sure the skin is dry before application. If you apply a moisturizer before Aklief (Trifarotene-topical), allow it to absorb into the skin before applying the trifarotene cream.
Wash your hands with soap and water after applying this medication.
Aklief (Trifarotene-topical) may cause increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight. Sunscreen (minimum SPF 30) and protective clothing should be used when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Avoid getting the medication in your eyes, and do not take the medication by mouth. Do not cover the treatment areas with dressings or bandages. Do not apply to skin that is broken or severely inflamed.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
