Tretinoin, a potent skin care ingredient, is known for its effectiveness in treating various skin concerns.
However, users should be aware of common side effects that may occur during treatment, such as dry skin, redness, irritation, and mild peeling.
Whilst these effects can be bothersome, they are generally considered normal reactions as the skin adjusts to the product’s powerful properties.
These side effects usually manifest in the initial weeks of treatment as the skin becomes accustomed to the ingredient.
While uncomfortable, users who push through the symptoms are typically rewarded with glowing skin further down the line.
Skin care experts at UK Meds shared: “Tretinoin is an incredibly popular prescription-only skincare medication that has recently become a social media sensation on TikTok.
“This is due to influencers, also known as ‘skinfluencers’, showcasing the amazing results that Tretinoin has provided them.”
They note that while you cannot typically get Tretinoin from the NHS for skincare conditions, you can purchase it online through services like UK Meds after a free consultation
“It is commonly used to treat acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues,” they added.
Despite the product’s initial challenges, many users find the long-term benefits of tretinoin outweigh the short-term discomfort.

The product was recently lauded by skin care enthusiast Robyn Ann Hampton on her lifestyle-focussed TikTok channel.
“One of the best things I have ever done for my skin and have continued to do for over nine years is use a retin-A or tretinoin,” Robyn said.
“I started out almost 10 years ago using it once a week, using a pea-sized amount and rubbing it in.
“Probably after about six months, people are going to be saying, gosh ‘your skin looks different, what are doing?’”
