    compounds derived from vitamin A used in skincare and medicine

    Retinoids are a class of compounds derived from vitamin A that are commonly used in skincare and medical treatments. They play a crucial role in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, making them effective for treating conditions like acne, psoriasis, and certain types of alopecia. Retinoids can also help reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture by promoting collagen production.

      The user is considering using Tretinoin every other day alongside daily Minoxidil to manage hair loss and is concerned about inconsistent absorption affecting regrowth. They have noticed a significant reduction in shedding but are unsure if it's due to Tretinoin or the end of the Minoxidil/finasteride shedding phase.
