1. Complete the online questionnaire: You answer targeted questions regarding your medical history, current skin routine, and goals, and complete the required photo upload of your skin.
2. Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor assesses your skin type, photoageing severity, and contraindications.
3. Prescription issuance: When clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a formal REMPE digital prescription PDF to your secure account within 24 hours.
4. Present at a pharmacy: You can download or print the PDF to present at local pharmacies across Turin and Italy, where the pharmacist reviews the document and may dispense the medication.

Who qualifies

Tretinoin is a potent prescription retinoid. Clinical eligibility depends on your skin profile, medical history, and specific aesthetic or dermatological goals.

• Eligible candidates: Adults experiencing signs of photoageing, fine lines, uneven texture, or loss of skin firmness who are not pregnant.
• Photo evaluation: Every dermatology request requires clear photos of the target area to allow the prescribing doctor to evaluate skin tolerance and baseline conditions.
• In-person referrals: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Patients presenting with severe, nodular, or cystic disease, or those requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, are referred to in-person medical care.
• Contraindications: Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the benchmark topical retinoid with decades of clinical data for photoageing. It works at a cellular level rather than providing superficial exfoliation.

Tretinoin binds directly to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in skin cells. 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 rather than days.

Side effects and when to stop

Because tretinoin accelerates cell turnover, initial side effects are common. Understanding how to manage your skin barrier ensures steady tolerance.

During the first 2 to 6 weeks, expect mild irritation, flaking, and stinging. Apply a pea-sized amount to completely dry skin at night, starting 2 to 3 evenings per week before increasing frequency. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is mandatory, as tretinoin increases photosensitivity. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you experience severe burning, swelling, or allergic contact dermatitis.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
