What the Tretinoin science says
Tretinoin has been proven to prevent, reduce, and treat wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production in the skin, it strengthens the skin at a structural level, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Many scientific studies have been done on this medication, and medical experts agree that it offers promising anti-aging benefits to the skin.
Dr. Bobby Buka, MDThe Dermatology Specialists in NYC
You can very easily reduce the appearance of wrinkles with the use of a moisturizer. Most of the cosmetic treatments are variations on moisturizers; they immediately reduce the appearance of fine lines by 15%–20%. Preventing their appearance is a different issue. The daily use of retinoids (i.e. Tretinoin) can prevent the appearance of wrinkles; they penetrate into the skin, can work on the extracellular matrix—the collagen and elastin fibers. A retinoid is very important to use even for Botox patients that want to maintain youthful skin.

FAQs
How will I use the Tretinoin Anti-Wrinkle Cream?
Cleanse your skin and apply 1 to 2 pumps (pea-sized amount) to your face at bedtime up to 3x per week. Follow with a moisturizer of your choice. Apply a daily SPF 30+.
How do I know Tretinoin is working?
Early signs of Tretinoin at work are mild signs of tingling, burning, or, in some cases, mild peeling within following application. This is due to your skin turning over new layers, resulting in brighter and tighter skin. Most patients see early results within 3-4 weeks, with more significant results after 8-10 weeks.
What strengths does AgelessRx Tretinoin cream come in?
Most commonly, AgelessRx prescribes a starting/initial prescription of 0.02%, working up to 0.05% upon first refill. In some cases, different strengths may be prescribed at the discretion of the reviewing doctor or medical professional. However, we typically do not recommend strengths over 0.05%, as higher concentrations (like 0.1%) are often too strong to properly treat wrinkles and come with exacerbated side effects: the 0.02% and 0.05% formulas offer the best balance of positive cosmetic outcomes while minimizing side effects.

Possible drug interactions
Before starting any new prescription, be sure to tell your doctor or healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
You should not use topical Tretinoin if you take medication that further increases your sensitivity to sunlight, including but not limited to: Tetracyclines (e.g. doxycycline, tetracycline, minocycline), Sulfonylureas (e.g. acetohexamide, chlorpropamide, glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide), Thiazide diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide/HCTZ or any drug containing HCTZ, chlorthalidone, bendroflumethiazide, methyclothiazide, metolazone), phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, promethazine, perphenazine, thiethylperazine, thioridazine), or Fluoroquinolones (e.g. ciprofloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin).
Additionally, using retinoids concurrently with topical drying agents, such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, can increase the drying effects of retinoids. Do not apply these agents to the same areas as your topical Tretinoin.
Other important safety information
Do not use Tretinoin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (including trying to get pregnant or are unsure whether you are pregnant). Tretinoin has been associated with miscarriage and birth defects. Additionally, people with an allergy to Tretinoin, or any of its ingredients, should not take Tretinoin.
