Product introduction

Trebor Cream reduces the excessive oil production of the skin. Ideally, a pinpoint application at nighttime is recommended for the duration prescribed by your doctor. The amount you need and for how long you need to take it will depend on what you are being treated for. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of this medicine. Follow your doctor’s instructions.


Do not apply Trebor Cream to damaged or broken skin, and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve, but keep using it regularly to get the most benefit. Consult your doctor again if you do not notice any improvement after a few weeks. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster and may increase the side effects.


The most common side effects include irritation, dryness, and redness of the skin. They are usually mild and improve as your body gets used to the medicine. Drink plenty of water and use moisturizer, as it may lead to dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. Let your doctor know if these side effects bother you or do not go away. Serious side effects with this medicine are rare.


Trebor Cream may make you more sensitive to sunlight, so you should limit exposure to the sun if possible. It may make your skin more fragile. It is advised not to have any waxing (hair removal) or laser treatments during treatment. Pregnant women or women who are planning to get pregnant should not use this medicine, as it can lead to birth defects.
