How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Getting a prescription for topical retinoids in Italy is straightforward and fully asynchronous:

- Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer targeted clinical questions about your skin type, medical background, and current routine.
- Upload skin photographs: Provide clear photos of the target treatment area. This allows the doctor to grade skin texture, photoageing, or acne severity accurately.
- Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor evaluates your case. When clinically appropriate, your prescription is approved in under 24 hours.
- Present your prescription: Download the official REMPE PDF from your secure account. You can present it at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews the order and may dispense your medication.
"Spain's official REMPE electronic prescription standard complies with Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU for cross-border medical recognition across member states."
Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor provides consultations for topical skin concerns only. An EU doctor evaluates every submission individually to ensure patient safety.
| Eligible for Online Consultation | Referred to In-Person Care |
|---|---|
| Photoageing, fine lines, and skin texture loss | Severe, nodular, or cystic acne |
| Mild to moderate facial acne | Suspected skin malignancies or changing moles |
| Hyperpigmentation and melasma | Patients requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics |
| Adults (18+) who are not pregnant | Pregnant women or women trying to conceive |
Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy and while planning pregnancy. Systemic absorption of topical retinoids is low, but standard medical guidelines exclude pregnant patients from retinoid therapy.
What Tretinoin actually does
Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the gold standard topical retinoid with decades of clinical data for photoageing. When you apply tretinoin 0.05% cream, it binds directly to nuclear retinoic acid receptors in the skin.

| Treatment Phase | Expected Skin Response | Biological Action |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 2–6 | Retinisation: dryness, mild flaking, mild erythema | Accelerated keratinocyte turnover |
| Week 12 | Smoother skin texture, improved tone, reduced blemishes | Stratum corneum compaction |
| Months 6–12 | Visible reduction in fine lines and photodamage | Stimulation of new dermal collagen I synthesis |
Because tretinoin increases cellular turnover, results take time. Clinical changes in dermal collagen require several months of consistent night-time application.
Side effects and when to stop
The initial "retinisation" phase is normal when starting tretinoin. You can manage irritation by starting 2 to 3 nights per week and applying a rich moisturiser.
- Mandatory sun protection: Tretinoin thins the outer stratum corneum and increases photosensitivity. Broad-spectrum daily SPF 50 is required every morning.
- Expected side effects: Mild redness, peeling, temporary tightness, and initial purging.
- When to stop: Discontinue use and contact a medical professional if you develop severe swelling, blistering, intense burning, or allergic contact dermatitis.
