If you’re managing hormonal acne, you may have heard about two popular treatments: topical spironolactone and tretinoin. Both are highly effective — but can you use them together?
✅ Short answer: Yes, you can! But you need to use them correctly to avoid irritation and get the best results.
🧴 What Does Topical Spironolactone Do?
Topical spironolactone works by:
- Blocking androgen (male hormone) activity in the skin
- Reducing oil (sebum) production
- Minimizing hormonal breakouts, especially on the jawline, chin, and cheeks
👉 You can easily get prescription topical spironolactone online at Oana Health.
🌟 What Does Tretinoin Do?
Tretinoin (Retin-A) is a vitamin A derivative that:
- Increases cell turnover
- Unclogs pores
- Fades dark spots and smooths texture
- Improves overall skin appearance
It’s one of the gold standards for both acne and anti-aging.
💡 How to Use Topical Spironolactone + Tretinoin Together
- Start slow: Use tretinoin 2–3 times per week and spironolactone daily. Gradually increase tretinoin as tolerated.
- Apply spironolactone first: Let it fully absorb, then apply tretinoin.
- Moisturize generously: Both can be drying; use a gentle moisturizer to reduce irritation.
- Use sunscreen daily: Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants: Skip scrubs and acids until your skin adjusts.
⚠️ Who Should Be Cautious?
If you have very sensitive skin or active irritation, introduce one product at a time and monitor your skin’s response. Always check with your dermatologist or Oana provider if you have concerns.
