Future Formula

As your skin adjusts, we can gradually increase the strength of your Future Formula—so we can help get you to your goals while going gentle on your skin. Your Agency dermatology provider may prescribe multiple strengths of tretinoin for you, so we can start you on the gentlest dose, and work up from there if you’re feeling ready. Your treatment plan keeps things simple and proactively initiates check-ins, where we ask how your skin is doing to make appropriate formula adjustments.

The most important thing is to follow your Agency dermatology provider’s instructions! Agency dermatology providers recommend applying a thin layer to cleansed, dry skin at night. When starting out, you can ease your skin into your formula by applying your formula every other night and then building up to every night, depending on how your skin adjusts. Check out your treatment plan for your instructions.

You may start to see changes—like improved appearance of fine lines and dark spots—after a couple of months of regular use. Results vary by ‌person; some see significant changes within a few weeks, and some see subtle changes after a year (or more!). With consistent use and diligent sun protection, you’ll have your Future Formula on your side to help keep your skin concerns at bay.

Tretinoin is safe and can be effective for all skin types and tones when prescribed and used appropriately. You may go through a temporary adjustment period with dryness, redness, peeling, and flaking—especially if you have dry or sensitive skin—when you first introduce tretinoin into your skincare routine. But Agency’s personalized and progressive approach aims to help your skin acclimate to tretinoin easily. We tailor your Future Formula to your skin’s precise needs to help minimize the possibility of irritation. Keep in mind that tretinoin is not for use during your pregnancy journey. Connect with your dermatology provider for more information.
