From Daily Skincare to Procedural Care: New Perspectives on Topical Retinoid Tolerability
Tolerability is a key consideration in topical retinoid use, particularly for patients reporting previous intolerance and those undergoing aesthetic procedures. This symposium brings together emerging clinical evidence and Canadian case experiences to explore a topical retinoid formulation in both daily skincare and peri-procedural care. Through clinical findings and patient photography, speakers will discuss observed tolerability and skin-quality outcomes, including use alongside microneedling and fractional non-ablative laser across diverse skin phototypes.
Learning objectives
- Evaluate tolerability and photoaging outcomes from a 12-week, multicentre, open-label study of a topical retinoid formulation in individuals with self-perceived retinoid intolerance.
- Examine peri-procedural tolerability and skin-quality outcomes from a Canadian case series evaluating the same formulation alongside microneedling and fractional non-ablative laser in participants with diverse skin phototypes.
- Critically appraise the clinical relevance and limitations of these findings, including formulation-specific considerations in interpreting topical retinoid tolerability and peri-procedural use.
