Who qualifies

Topical tretinoin is a prescription-only retinoid indicated for photoageing, fine lines, skin roughness, and hyperpigmentation. To qualify for an online prescription through Hi-Doctor, you must meet specific clinical criteria evaluated by the doctor:

• Eligible candidates: Adults experiencing signs of chronological ageing or photoageing who have no contraindications to topical retinoids.
• Mandatory photo verification: You must provide well-lit, in-focus photos of your facial skin to allow the doctor to grade your skin condition.
• Topical scope only: Hi-Doctor's dermatology pathway covers topical solutions exclusively (such as tretinoin 0.05% cream).
• Exclusions and referrals: Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and while trying to conceive. Patients with severe, nodular, or cystic acne, or scarring conditions are referred to in-person care. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics online.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the most extensively researched topical retinoid in dermatology. Unlike cosmetic over-the-counter retinol, which requires cellular conversion, tretinoin directly binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in the skin.

This receptor binding stimulates gene transcription, accelerating basal keratinocyte turnover and promoting the shedding of old, damaged surface cells. In the dermis, tretinoin inhibits matrix metalloproteinases that degrade collagen while stimulating fibroblasts to synthesize new type I and type III collagen fibers.

Because tretinoin increases cellular turnover, it temporarily thins the outermost stratum corneum and increases photosensitivity. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning is mandatory during treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience an adjustment phase known as retinisation during the first month of treatment. Managing your application routine minimizes discomfort while your skin builds tolerance.

• Common adjustment symptoms: Peeling, redness, stinging, and localized dryness are typical in weeks 2 through 6. Starting application 2 to 3 nights per week on completely dry skin helps reduce irritation.
• When to adjust: If moderate irritation occurs, apply a gentle moisturizer before and after your retinoid (the buffer method) or reduce application frequency.
• When to discontinue: Stop treatment and seek in-person medical attention if you experience severe burning, widespread facial swelling, blistering, or symptoms of contact dermatitis.
