About Trifarotene
Indications of Trifarotene
Trifarotene is a topical retinoid indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older.
- Established/FDA-approved use: Topical treatment of acne vulgaris of the face and/or trunk (back, chest, and shoulders) — Trifarotene is one of the few topical retinoids specifically studied and approved for truncal acne.
Use of Trifarotene for dermatologic conditions other than acne vulgaris has not been established and is not recommended.
Dosage & Administration of Trifarotene
Acne Vulgaris (Face and/or Trunk)
| Population | Dose |
|---|---|
| Adults and adolescents ≥9 years | Apply a thin, uniform layer of Trifarotene cream once daily in the evening to the affected areas of the face and/or trunk. |
| Children under 9 years | Not recommended; safety and efficacy not established. |
Approximately one pump of Trifarotene cream is generally sufficient for the entire face; approximately two pumps are used for the upper trunk. Cleanse and dry the skin before application. A moisturizer may be applied and is generally recommended to help manage dryness or irritation, particularly at treatment initiation.
Clinical improvement with Trifarotene is usually assessed after about 12 weeks; consult a physician if no improvement is seen or if irritation is significant (see Precautions and Warnings).
Side Effects of Trifarotene
The most commonly reported adverse reactions with Trifarotene are local skin reactions, generally most pronounced during the first 4 weeks of treatment and decreasing thereafter:
- Application-site irritation (erythema/redness)
- Scaling and dryness
- Stinging or burning sensation
- Pruritus (itching) at the application site
- Sunburn or increased sun sensitivity
Severe or persistent irritation, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) with Trifarotene should prompt discontinuation and medical evaluation.
Contraindications of Trifarotene
Trifarotene is contraindicated in:
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to Trifarotene or any component of the formulation.
- Pregnancy — as a retinoid, Trifarotene carries a potential risk of fetal harm; it should not be used in women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy (see Pregnancy and Lactation).
