Who qualifies

Online consultations are designed for adult patients seeking evidence-based management for skin photoageing and fine lines. Eligibility is determined through asynchronous clinical assessment by registered medical practitioners.

• Eligible candidates: Adults with mild-to-moderate photoageing, uneven skin texture, or fine wrinkles seeking topical retinoid therapy.
• Exclusions: Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or actively planning pregnancy cannot use tretinoin due to teratogenicity concerns.
• In-person referrals: Severe, cystic, or scarring skin conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics cannot be treated online and are referred to in-person care.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the gold-standard topical retinoid with decades of clinical data. It binds directly to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in keratinocytes, accelerating cellular turnover and clearing compacted stratum corneum cells.

In the dermis, tretinoin stimulates fibroblasts to increase type I collagen synthesis while inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases that degrade existing collagen. Because structural dermal remodeling takes time, clinical improvements accumulate over several months.

Side effects and when to stop

During the initial 2 to 6 weeks, many patients experience retinisation. You can minimise dryness by applying Tretinoin 0.05% cream at night to completely dry skin, starting 2 to 3 times per week before increasing frequency.

Tretinoin increases photosensitivity. Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is mandatory throughout treatment. Discontinue application and seek medical advice if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense burning, blistering, or swelling.
