Fenestrert

Fenestrert is a synthetic retinoid, a type of vitamin A derivative, used in the treatment of acne. It is a second-generation retinoid, which means it has a more potent anti-inflammatory effect compared to first-generation retinoids like isotretinoin. Fenestrert works by regulating the skin's cell cycle, promoting the differentiation of keratinocytes, and reducing the production of sebum, which can help to clear acne and prevent its recurrence.

Fenestrert is available in the form of a topical gel, which is applied directly to the skin. It is typically used once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the acne and the individual's response to the treatment. The gel is usually applied to the face and other affected areas of the body.

Fenestrert is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including dryness, irritation, and peeling of the skin. More serious side effects are rare but can include increased sun sensitivity, allergic reactions, and in rare cases, severe skin reactions. It is important to use sunscreen when exposed to sunlight while using fenestrert.

Fenestrert is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the developing fetus or infant. It is also not recommended for use in children under the age of 12. As with any medication, it is important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider when using fenestrert.
