Who qualifies
To qualify for a topical tretinoin prescription, patients must meet strict clinical safety criteria assessed during the doctor's review.
- Eligible candidates: Adults experiencing visible signs of skin ageing, fine lines, rough skin texture, or hyperpigmentation who seek topical retinoid treatment.
- Exclusions and contraindications: Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and while actively trying to conceive. Patients with open wounds, active eczema, or severe dermatitis on the face will not be approved.
- Topical scope only: Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring skin conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person clinical care.
What Tretinoin actually does
Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the gold standard topical retinoid with extensive clinical evidence for reversing photoageing. When applied topically, it binds directly to retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in skin cells.
This biological binding speeds up epidermal keratinocyte turnover and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new type I collagen in the dermis. Because structural collagen remodelling takes time, clinical changes develop progressively over several months.
- Weeks 2 to 6 (Retinisation): The skin adapts to accelerated cell turnover. Mild peeling, dryness, and erythema are expected.
- Week 12: Surface texture smooths out, epidermal thickness improves, and skin tone becomes more uniform.
- Months 6 to 12: Dermal collagen synthesis visibly softens fine lines and reduces deeper photoageing damage.
Because tretinoin increases photosensitivity, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning is mandatory during treatment.
Side effects and when to stop
Most patients experience mild retinisation during the initial weeks of treatment. Starting application 2 to 3 nights per week on dry skin helps build epidermal tolerance before increasing frequency.
Common, manageable side effects include local flaking, temporary redness, and mild stinging. However, you should pause application and message our medical team if you experience severe burning, swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.
