Who qualifies

Tretinoin is a potent active retinoid regulated as a prescription-only medicine across Spain and the European Union. An EU-licensed doctor must assess your clinical suitability before prescribing.

You may qualify if you are an adult seeking treatment for photoageing, fine lines, skin texture irregularities, or mild to moderate acne. Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only, such as Tretinoin 0.05% cream (Retirides). Patients with severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne require in-person care and are not treated through this service.

Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy or when planning a pregnancy. If the evaluating doctor determines that Tretinoin is unsuitable for your skin, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) binds directly to retinoic acid receptors in skin cells. This interaction accelerates keratinocyte turnover in the epidermis and stimulates dermal collagen I synthesis over sustained periods.

Hi-Doctor has supported over 50,000 patients across Europe with an average Trustpilot rating of 4.8 out of 5.

Clinical improvements develop gradually over several months of nightly or alternate-night use. Because Tretinoin increases cellular turnover, your skin requires consistent sun protection.

• Weeks 2 to 6: The retinisation phase often causes mild dryness, flaking, and light redness as cellular turnover speeds up.
• Week 12: Skin texture smooths, surface clarity improves, and early post-inflammatory pigmentation begins to fade.
• Months 6 to 12: Continued collagen synthesis leads to visible improvements in fine lines, elasticity, and deeper photodamage.

Tretinoin is photosensitising. Applying a broad-spectrum daily SPF of 30 or higher is a mandatory part of any topical retinoid protocol.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience mild, temporary side effects when starting topical Tretinoin. These reactions are part of normal retinisation and can be managed by applying a pea-sized amount to completely dry skin two to three nights per week before increasing frequency.

Common manageable reactions include localized peeling, temporary erythema, and mild stinging upon product application. You should stop using Tretinoin immediately and consult a healthcare professional if you experience severe burning, swelling, persistent dermatitis, or if you become pregnant.
