Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a patient came in with a prescription for compounded tretinoin gel. She looked a bit uncertain and asked,

“Rania, I’ve used tretinoin before, but only in cream form. Why did my dermatologist switch me to a compounded gel this time?”

I smiled. “That’s a great question! Tretinoin, also known as Retin-A, is one of the most powerful ingredients for acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, but the base it’s delivered in makes a big difference. Gel formulas are often lighter, less greasy, and more suitable for people with oily or acne-prone skin.”

She asked, “Will it still be as effective?”

“Yes, and sometimes even more so,” I explained. “Gels penetrate the skin more quickly and can increase absorption, giving you faster results. Plus, our compounded version is made fresh, without the preservatives, dyes, or irritants you might find in some commercial brands.”

She seemed relieved. “That makes sense. I’ve always struggled with my skin getting too greasy.”

“Exactly,” I said. “The gel base won’t clog your pores, and we can customize the strength based on your skin’s tolerance—from 0.025% up to 0.1% or higher if needed.”

Before she left, I added, “Just remember to start slow, use a moisturizer, and wear sunscreen daily, as tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.”

She smiled, “Thanks, Rania. I feel a lot better about this now.”

At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we love helping patients find personalized solutions for their skin concerns—because everyone’s skin is different.

Until tomorrow,
