Who qualifies
  • Eligible patients: Adults seeking treatment for visible photoageing and skin texture irregularities who submit clear clinical photos.
  • Contraindications: Pregnancy, active attempts to conceive, or breastfeeding. Tretinoin is a potent topical retinoid and is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy.
  • Clinical scope limits: Hi-Doctor provides consultations for topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring skin conditions are referred to in-person care.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) binds directly to retinoic acid receptors in epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. It accelerates cellular turnover and stimulates dermal collagen type I synthesis over months of consistent use.

  • Cellular renewal: Normalises keratinocyte shedding, refining rough texture and evening epidermal tone.
  • Collagen restoration: Stimulates collagen production while slowing the enzymes that break down dermal matrix structures.
  • Mandatory sun protection: Tretinoin increases photosensitivity during early use. Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF is mandatory throughout treatment.
TimelineExpected Skin ChangesClinical Management

Timeline data from the table above.

Side effects and when to stop

Retinisation is an expected physiological response during the first few weeks of therapy. Introducing the cream slowly allows your skin barrier to adapt with minimal discomfort.

  • Common reactions: Dryness, flaking, mild redness, and temporary stinging after application.
  • Application guidance: Apply a pea-sized amount at night to completely dry skin. You may apply a neutral moisturiser beforehand to buffer the active ingredient.
  • When to discontinue: Stop use immediately if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense burning, swelling, or blistering, and seek medical advice.
