Atralin

After you dive in... stay in!

Stick with it
One of the biggest challenges of any acne treatment regimen is sticking with it.

Irritation?

Acne medications can cause irritation on the surface of the skin, leading some people to skip days or stop treatment altogether. Atralin® was created to help keep irritation to a minimum by working within your skin. If you do experience a little dryness or redness, ask your dermatologist about an appropriate moisturizer.

More pimples?

Don't be surprised if you notice more pimples when you start using Atralin, or any medication. That doesn't mean it's not working. To reduce acne and prevent new acne from developing, it's important to stick to your treatment for as long your dermatologist recommends, often 12 weeks or more.

Follow these tips

  • Remember to apply your acne medication every day, exactly as prescribed
  • Keep your face clean, but avoid washing too much or scrubbing too hard as it can irritate your skin1
  • Keep your Atralin somewhere you'll see it every day, maybe next to your toothbrush—this will help you remember to use it
  • Avoid oily cosmetics or lotions1
  • The pressure of tight helmets or other sports equipment, backpacks, collars, or athletic clothes can cause an acne flare1
  • Never pick or squeeze your pimples—it can make them worse1
  • Try to avoid touching your acne throughout the day

Indication and Important Safety Information

Atralin Gel is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris and has not been studied in patients younger than 10 years of age. Tell your doctor about all of your health conditions, including if you are allergic to fish; have a skin condition called eczema; are pregnant or planning to become pregnant; or are breastfeeding. To prevent aggravating the skin, you should protect your skin from sun, tanning lights, extreme wind or cold, and harsh skincare products. Use of sunscreen products of at least SPF 15 and protective clothing over treated areas are recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. Use Atralin Gel with caution if you are allergic to fish; if you begin to itch or you develop hives, contact your healthcare provider. The most common adverse reaction was mild to moderate irritation of the skin, which occurred during the first few weeks of treatment with Atralin Gel.
