Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies

Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy or while trying to conceive due to teratogenic risks. Severe, nodular, or scarring conditions cannot be managed online and require direct, in-person clinical care.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) binds directly to retinoic acid receptors in skin cells. This cellular binding accelerates keratinocyte turnover and stimulates dermal fibroblasts to produce new type I collagen. Because it works at the cellular level within the dermis, structural improvement requires sustained application over months rather than days.

  • Weeks 2–6 (Retinisation): The skin adapts to accelerated turnover. Mild flaking, temporary dryness, and mild stinging can occur as the stratum corneum remodels.
  • Week 12: Noticeable improvements in surface skin texture, smoothness, and overall tone.
  • Months 6–12: Progressive softening of fine wrinkles and visible reversal of superficial photoageing due to restored collagen density.

Tretinoin increases photosensitivity by thinning the outer dead stratum corneum. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is mandatory throughout treatment to protect newly forming dermal tissue.

Side effects and when to stop

Starting topical retinoids requires a careful ramp-up phase. Doctors generally recommend applying a pea-sized amount at night to dry skin 2 to 3 times per week initially, building frequency as tolerance develops.

  • Common, manageable reactions: Localised redness, superficial peeling, mild dryness, and temporary warmth during initial weeks.
  • When to pause application: Marked erythema, cracked skin, intense burning sensations, or persistent swelling.
  • When to discontinue and seek in-person evaluation: Blistering, signs of secondary infection, or severe allergic contact dermatitis.
