Aklief Cream contains the active ingredient trifarotene. It is a prescription topical retinoid used to treat acne vulgaris on the face and trunk, including the chest, shoulders, and back.
In the United States, Aklief Cream is approved for adults and children aged 9 years and older. Age approvals may differ by country, so follow the product information and instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become blocked with excess oil and dead skin cells.
Blocked pores may lead to several types of acne lesions, including:
Acne commonly affects the face, but it can also appear on the chest, shoulders, and back. Body acne may be difficult to treat because it can cover larger areas and may be affected by sweat, tight clothing, and friction.
Aklief Cream can be applied to acne-affected areas of the face and trunk.
The trunk includes areas such as the:
Using one medication for both facial and body acne may make treatment easier. However, apply it only to the areas recommended by your healthcare provider.
Avoid applying Aklief Cream to healthy skin that does not require treatment unless instructed otherwise.
Aklief Cream belongs to a group of medications called topical retinoids. Retinoids are chemically related to vitamin A.
Trifarotene attaches mainly to retinoic acid receptor gamma, a receptor commonly found in the skin. By activating this receptor, the medication helps regulate the growth and development of skin cells.
This action may help prevent dead skin cells from building up and blocking the pores.
Prevention of Blocked Pores
Normal skin cells are continually produced and shed. In acne-prone skin, these cells may collect inside the hair follicles instead of leaving the skin normally.
The collected cells can mix with oil and form a blockage called a comedone. A comedone may appear as a blackhead or whitehead.
Aklief Cream helps normalise the way skin cells are produced and shed. This may:
Reduction of Inflammation
Acne is not only caused by clogged pores. Inflammation also contributes to redness, swelling, tenderness, and painful pimples.
Aklief Cream has anti-inflammatory activity that may help reduce inflamed acne lesions.
With regular treatment, the skin may develop fewer red bumps and pimples. However, results develop gradually and vary between patients.
Aklief Cream may help treat both non-inflammatory and inflammatory acne.
Non-inflammatory acne includes:
Inflammatory acne includes:
Aklief Cream may not be enough on its own for severe acne with deep nodules, cysts, or extensive scarring. A healthcare provider may recommend additional treatment.
When used regularly, Aklief Cream may help:
Preventing new acne is an important part of treatment. Apply the medication to the entire acne-affected area rather than using it only as a spot treatment, unless your healthcare provider gives different instructions.
Aklief Cream does not usually clear acne immediately.
Some people may notice early improvement after several weeks, but more meaningful results often require regular treatment over a longer period. Continue using the medication as prescribed, even when changes are gradual.
Your healthcare provider may assess your skin after several weeks or months to determine how well the treatment is working.
Skin irritation is common when starting a topical retinoid.
Possible reactions include:
These effects are often most noticeable during the first few weeks of treatment and may improve as the skin adjusts.
Applying more cream will not clear acne faster. It may only increase irritation.
Some people notice that their acne appears to worsen when treatment begins. This may happen as blocked pores already forming beneath the skin become more visible.
Continue treatment unless the irritation or worsening is severe. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop significant pain, swelling, blistering, crusting, or severe peeling.
A gentle skincare routine can help reduce irritation during treatment.
Use a mild cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturiser. Non-comedogenic products are less likely to block the pores.
Avoid harsh or drying products unless your healthcare provider recommends them. These may include:
Ask your healthcare provider before combining Aklief Cream with other acne treatments.
Aklief Cream may make the treated skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Protect your skin by:
Wind and cold weather may also increase dryness and irritation.
Aklief Cream may be used alone or with other acne treatments. Depending on the type and severity of acne, a healthcare provider may recommend additional medications, such as benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics, or oral treatments.
A complete acne plan may also include gentle cleansing, moisturising, sun protection, and avoiding the picking or squeezing of pimples.
Picking acne can increase inflammation and raise the risk of infection, dark marks, and permanent scarring.
A healthcare provider will decide whether Aklief Cream is appropriate based on:
The treatment schedule may be adjusted if the skin becomes excessively irritated.
Aklief Cream helps control acne but does not permanently cure the condition. Acne may return if treatment is stopped too early.
Once the skin improves, a healthcare provider may recommend continued treatment to prevent new pores from becoming blocked.
Use Aklief Cream consistently and attend follow-up appointments so your healthcare provider can assess your progress and manage irritation.
Use Aklief Cream exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually applied once daily in the evening.
Applying more cream or using it more often will not clear acne faster. It may increase dryness, redness, peeling, burning, or irritation.
Before applying Aklief Cream:
Avoid scrubbing the skin, as this may increase irritation.
Apply a thin layer to the entire acne-affected area, not only to individual pimples.
Keep the cream away from the:
Wash your hands after applying the medication unless your hands are being treated.
Recommended Amount for the Face
Use one pump to cover the entire face.
Spread the cream in a thin, even layer over acne-prone areas. Avoid applying extra cream to areas with more pimples.
Recommended Amount for the Upper Body
Use two pumps to cover the upper back, shoulders, and chest.
If acne also affects the middle or lower back, one additional pump may be used.
Use only enough cream to create a thin layer over the affected skin.
Aklief Cream may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. The product information recommends at least SPF 15, although a higher SPF may provide better protection when used correctly.
You should also:
Wind and cold weather may also worsen dryness and irritation.
A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser may help reduce dryness and irritation.
You may apply moisturiser before or after Aklief Cream, depending on the instructions from your healthcare provider. Non-comedogenic products are less likely to block the pores.
If you forget to apply Aklief Cream, skip the missed application and use it at your usual time the following evening.
Do not apply extra cream to make up for the missed dose.
Mild redness, dryness, peeling, burning, or stinging may occur during the first few weeks of treatment.
Your healthcare provider may recommend:
Contact your healthcare provider if the irritation becomes severe or if you develop swelling, blistering, crusting, or significant pain.
Do not apply Aklief Cream more than once daily unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
Avoid waxing treated skin and use caution with scrubs, exfoliating acids, alcohol-based products, or other retinoids.
Continue treatment as prescribed, even if improvement is gradual.
Aklief Cream (Trifarotene) is available in the following forms and strength:
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Aklief Cream is a topical retinoid and is generally avoided during pregnancy because retinoids may harm an unborn baby. Stop using it and contact your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether trifarotene passes into breast milk. If you are breastfeeding, your healthcare provider will help you weigh the possible benefits and risks.
Do not apply Aklief Cream to the nipple or surrounding breast area. This helps prevent the baby from coming into direct contact with the medication.
Do not use Aklief Cream with another topical retinoid unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it.
Combining retinoids or similar acne treatments may cause severe dryness, redness, peeling, burning, or skin irritation.
Check with your healthcare provider before using products that contain:
Some products may still be used together under medical guidance, but the timing or frequency may need to be adjusted.
Aklief Cream may cause skin irritation, especially during the first few weeks of treatment.
Possible symptoms include:
Mild irritation often improves as the skin adjusts. Using more cream or applying it more often will not clear acne faster and may make irritation worse.
Your healthcare provider may recommend using a moisturiser, applying the cream less often, or temporarily pausing treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe pain, swelling, blistering, crusting, or intense peeling.
Use a mild or soap-free cleanser while using Aklief Cream.
Avoid products that may dry or irritate the skin, including:
Use gentle, non-comedogenic skincare products that are less likely to block the pores.
Aklief Cream may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to:
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Wind and cold weather may also increase dryness and irritation.
Do not apply Aklief Cream to sunburned skin. Wait until the skin has fully healed.
Do not apply Aklief Cream to skin that is:
Applying the medication to damaged skin may increase burning, pain, and absorption.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and skincare treatments you use.
Although trifarotene has limited absorption into the bloodstream, other topical products can increase irritation when applied to the same areas.
Do not start a new acne medication or strong skincare product without checking with your healthcare provider.
Store Aklief Cream at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture.
Keep the tube or pump container tightly closed when it is not being used. Do not freeze the medication.
Keep Aklief Cream out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Aklief Cream contains trifarotene, a topical retinoid related to vitamin A. It helps regulate how skin cells grow and shed. This prevents dead skin cells from building up inside the pores and reduces the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Aklief Cream also helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling caused by acne.
Use Aklief Cream exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually applied once daily in the evening. Clean the affected skin gently, pat it dry, and apply a thin layer over the entire acne-prone area. Avoid the eyes, lips, corners of the nose, and broken or irritated skin. Wash your hands after applying the cream. Do not use more than prescribed. Applying extra cream will not clear acne faster and may cause more irritation.
Some people may notice early improvement within two weeks. However, results vary, and more noticeable improvement may take several weeks. Clinical studies commonly assessed treatment after about 12 weeks of daily use. Continue using Aklief Cream as prescribed, even if your acne does not improve immediately. Contact your healthcare provider if your acne becomes worse or does not improve after several weeks.
Do not combine Aklief Cream with another retinoid unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so. Using several retinoids or irritating acne products together may cause severe dryness, peeling, redness, or burning. Tell your healthcare provider about all acne medications and skincare products you use. This includes benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, exfoliating acids, retinol, adapalene, tretinoin, and medicated cleansers. Your healthcare provider may recommend using certain products at different times of the day to reduce irritation.
