HOW TRETINOIN WORKS

Renews skin cells.

Rebuilds collagen.

Tretinoin is the active form of vitamin A. When applied to the skin, it enters cells and activates receptors that influence how skin cells grow, divide, and mature. Over time, this can lead to faster cell turnover, increased collagen production, and smoother, more even-looking skin.

Activates retinoic acid receptors

When applied to the skin, tretinoin enters skin cells and activates genes involved in how skin cells grow, divide, and mature.

Boosts skin cell turnover

Tretinoin speeds up the rate at which old skin cells shed, restoring a pace of turnover that naturally slows with age and sun exposure. Over weeks to months, skin texture can smooth out, tone typically becomes more even, and fine lines may become less visible. Improvement is gradual and builds with consistent use.

Increases collagen production

That same signal prompts cells in the deeper layer of skin (fibroblasts) to produce more collagen — the protein responsible for firmness and resilience.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions, answered

What is tretinoin?

Tretinoin is an FDA-approved topical retinoid for acne, visible signs of sun damage, fine lines, uneven tone, and rough texture. Off-label, doctors often include it in broader skin health protocols for its effects on collagen and long-term skin quality.

How do you take tretinoin?

Doctors typically recommend applying tretinoin to clean, dry skin. 

Tretinoin significantly increases sensitivity to the sun. Wash your face in the morning and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. Skipping this step can lead to significant sunburn and post-inflammatory discoloration that is difficult to treat.

What are the side effects of tretinoin?

Most people experience some dryness, flaking, or redness in the first few weeks. This is normal and usually settles as skin adjusts. Starting slow helps. Tell your doctor if irritation feels persistent or severe.

Who shouldn't take tretinoin?

Tretinoin isn't recommended during pregnancy or on broken or sunburned skin. Your doctor will go through your skin history and any other products or medications you're using before prescribing.
