Retinoids remain the most popular skincare actives in our community, and one of the most common questions I receive is, “When should I start retinoids for photoaging?”

📌 Quick review of retinoids:
🔘 The term “retinoids” refers to vitamin A derivatives. These include drugs (e.g. adapalene, tazarotene, tretinoin) and cosmetics (e.g. retinol and retinaldehyde).

🔘 The active ingredient of retinoids is retinoic acid. Some retinoids directly provide retinoic acid (e.g. tretinoin), while others (e.g. retinol and retinaldehyde) undergo a stepwise conversion in skin to become retinoic acid.

🔘 Retinoid ingredients requiring multiple conversion steps are generally less potent and less irritating than those needing fewer steps. This is the retinoid conversion process: Retinyl esters ➡️ Retinol ➡️ Retinaldehyde ➡️ Retinoic acid. This is why retinol would be a good option for those who are starting retinoids and those with sensitive skin, while retinaldehyde may be better suited for more experienced retinoid users and those with resilient skin.

👩‍⚕️Adult female acne can be due to physiological hormonal fluctuations, or medical conditions like Polycystic ovarian syndrome. For the latter, co-management by a dermatologist with a gynecologist or endocrinologist may be helpful to achieve optimum care.

👩‍⚕️Vitamin D is important for our health, and for many people adequate levels are easy to achieve with day-to-day incidental sun exposure. Vitamin D may also be obtained from the diet and through oral supplementation.

🌎 Guidelines for vitamin D screening, recommended dietary allowance & vitamin D supplementation (and even photoprotection guidelines) may also differ per country. For example, countries with low UVB levels, particularly over the winter months i.e. further from the equator, may have different guidelines as tropical countries that receive a relatively constant level of UVB all year round.

📌 It is important to know that while this post strives to provide general information, it remains best to consult with a medical practitioner in your area for a more nuanced discussion, particularly if you are at risk for vitamin D deficiency.

✅ Kindly keep in mind what works for someone's melasma wont necessarily work for you. Many factors determine response to treatment beyond the treatment itself – skin phototype, genetics, severity, lifestyle, environmental factors, among others.
