Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1. How​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ long does it take for Acitry-10 to show visible improvement in thick scaly skin conditions like psoriasis?

Answer: Acitry-10 usually takes from several weeks to months for visible improvement as it works by slowly normalizing cell turnover. The best results are obtained with continued use.

Question 2. Can Acitry-10 worsen dryness or cause flare-ups before the skin starts improving?

Answer: Yes, epidermal dryness, scaling, and irritation may be aggravated at the beginning as the skin is getting used to the drug. These side effects subside after the application of moisturizers and continued use under medical supervision.

Question 3. Does Acitry-10 interact with any commonly used skincare products or cosmetic treatments?

Answer: While on Acitry-10, do not use harsh exfoliants, retinol products, waxing, or chemical peels. These may intensify the irritation and damage the already sensitive skin that is retinoid-treated.
