Hi-Doctor provides a direct medical consultation pathway with EU-licensed doctors through a secure online platform. If treatment is clinically appropriate, your doctor issues an official REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours. The 40 € consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.

Key takeaways

• Fixed €40 consultation: One-off payment with no subscription; fully refunded if treatment is not clinically indicated.

Who qualifies

To get Tretinoin online through Hi-Doctor, you must be an adult resident or visitor in the EU seeking treatment for skin ageing, photoageing, or mild textural concerns. The medical review evaluates whether topical retinoids are safe and suitable for your specific skin profile.

Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and while actively trying to conceive. Patients presenting with severe, nodular, or cystic acne, or those requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, are not eligible for online prescribing and will be referred to in-person care.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin is a potent all-trans retinoic acid that binds directly to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in the skin. This binding accelerates keratinocyte turnover in the epidermis and stimulates dermal fibroblasts to synthesize type I collagen. Because dermal remodelling takes time, clinical improvements accumulate over several months.

Timeline	Biological Mechanism	Visible Skin Response
Weeks 2–6	Accelerated epidermal cell turnover	Retinisation phase: peeling, redness, and mild dryness
Week 12	Compaction of the stratum corneum	Smoother surface texture, refined skin tone, reduced dullness
Months 6–12	New dermal type I collagen deposition	Reduction in fine lines and visible improvement in photoageing

Because tretinoin thins the outer stratum corneum during early use, your skin becomes significantly more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Applying broad-spectrum SPF daily is mandatory to protect against UV damage and hyperpigmentation.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience mild retinisation during the first month. You can manage initial peeling and irritation by starting treatment 2 to 3 nights per week and applying a rich moisturizer over dry skin.

• Common expected reactions: Temporary dryness, flaking, mild erythema, and transient stinging upon application.
• When to pause application: Excessive peeling, persistent burning, or cracked skin. Reduce frequency until the skin barrier recovers.
• When to stop completely: Severe allergic reactions, swelling, intense rash, or if you become pregnant.
