Only good stuff

Tretinoin is a prescription-strength form of vitamin A that speeds up the rate at which your skin replaces old, damaged cells with new ones. This faster turnover smooths the surface, fades discoloration, and clears congested pores. Beneath the surface, tretinoin stimulates collagen production, the protein that keeps skin firm and resilient. With consistent use, skin becomes smoother, more even, and visibly younger-looking over time.

Tretinoin has been used in dermatology for nearly 50 years, making it one of the most extensively studied topical treatments in medicine. Originally developed to treat acne, researchers quickly discovered its powerful anti-aging effects, including increased collagen production and reversal of sun damage. Large-scale clinical trials have consistently shown that tretinoin 0.05% significantly improves fine wrinkling, skin texture, and hyperpigmentation over 12 to 24 weeks of use. It remains the gold standard in prescription retinoid therapy.

Some users experience mild dryness, redness, or peeling during the first few weeks as their skin adjusts. This is sometimes called the “retinization” period and typically subsides with continued use. Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen is essential.

Frequently asked questions

Tretinoin is FDA-approved for the treatment of acne and has been extensively studied for photoaging. AIRA Skin’s compounded formulation can only be prescribed through licensed clinicians where state law allows.

Yes. Tretinoin is one of the most clinically studied topical skin treatments available, with decades of human trials confirming its effects on wrinkles, skin texture, collagen production, and hyperpigmentation.

Tretinoin speeds up cell turnover so your skin sheds old, damaged cells faster and replaces them with fresher ones. It also stimulates collagen production, which helps skin stay firm and smooth over time.

Tretinoin has a well-established safety profile backed by nearly five decades of clinical use. Side effects are generally mild and temporary. As with any active skincare product, use under the guidance of a licensed physician is recommended.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should not use tretinoin. Individuals with very sensitive skin or active eczema should consult a medical professional before starting treatment.

Apply to clean, dry skin in the evening, as tretinoin is light-sensitive. Follow with sunscreen every morning. If you are new to retinoids, your skin may need a few weeks to adjust.

Yes, though avoid layering with other strong actives (like exfoliating acids or additional retinoids) on the same evening. Your intake questionnaire will help determine which products work best together.
