Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid, considered the gold standard by dermatologists for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It works at a cellular level to speed up skin cell turnover, revealing smoother, clearer, more youthful-looking skin.
Tretinoin is a prescription-strength vitamin A derivative (a retinoid) that works by increasing skin cell turnover. It's one of the most researched and proven ingredients for anti-aging and acne treatment.
Tretinoin is a retinoid, which is much stronger and more effective than retinol (found in over-the-counter products). Retinol needs to be converted by your skin into retinoic acid to work, while Tretinoin is already retinoic acid, making it significantly more powerful.
For acne, you may see improvement in 2-3 weeks. For fine lines and wrinkles, visible results typically take 8-12 weeks of consistent nightly use, with continued improvement over months.


Speeds up cell turnover and boosts collagen to smooth out wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.

Some users experience a temporary period of increased breakouts, dryness, or peeling known as the ‘retinoid purge’ as their skin adjusts. This is normal and typically subsides within a few weeks. Starting slowly and moisturizing well can help minimize this.
Apply a pea-sized amount to your entire face at night, after cleansing and before moisturizing. Start by using it 2–3 times a week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin tolerates it.
Avoid using other harsh active ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C in the same routine. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day, as Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.
Tretinoin is ideal for individuals looking to treat acne, reduce the signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
