Who qualifies

Topical retinoids are potent active treatments that require clinical screening to ensure safety. Doctors assess both indications and contraindications before prescribing.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
Status Clinical Profile Action / Protocol
Eligible Mild to moderate photoageing, fine lines, uneven texture, non-pregnant adults. Doctor assesses online; prescription issued if appropriate.
Contraindicated Pregnancy, actively trying to conceive, breastfeeding, or active eczema/dermatitis. Treatment not approved; consultation fee refunded in full.
Out of Scope Severe cystic acne, nodular scarring, or requests for oral isotretinoin. Referred to in-person specialist care; not managed online.

Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and invasive aesthetic procedures are not offered online and require an in-person clinic visit.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is a prescription-strength retinoid with decades of clinical evidence in addressing photoageing. Unlike over-the-counter retinol, which requires cellular conversion, Tretinoin directly binds to retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in skin cells.

This biological binding accelerates keratinocyte turnover and stimulates fibroblasts to synthesise type I dermal collagen. As a result, cellular turnover increases, compacted stratum corneum layers shed, and structural collagen matrix density improves over time.

Retinoid adaptation takes 2 to 6 weeks, noticeable textural changes appear around 12 weeks, and structural fine-line improvements typically require 6 to 12 months of consistent use.

You apply a pea-sized amount at night to completely dry skin, starting 2 to 3 nights per week to build tolerance before increasing frequency. Because Tretinoin increases epidermal photosensitivity, broad-spectrum daily SPF is mandatory throughout use.

Side effects and when to stop

During the initial phase of treatment (weeks 2–6), most patients experience a process known as retinisation. Common, expected side effects include:

  • Mild to moderate erythema (redness)
  • Dryness, peeling, and surface flaking
  • Temporary stinging upon applying mild moisturiser

To mitigate irritation, apply moisturiser before or after Tretinoin (the buffering technique) and reduce application to twice weekly until the skin adapts. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if you develop severe burning, swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.
