THE MISSING MIDDLE

GETTING AN RX WAS NEVER THE PROBLEM.

Prescription retinoids are more accessible than ever. Dermatologists prescribe them. Telehealth platforms can deliver them to your door. But then you're standing in your bathroom alone wondering:

How much do I use? What's a pea size amount? Do I moisturize before or after? Can I put this under my eyes? Should my face be peeling like this? Is this purging—or irritation? Why is my suddenly worse than it's ever been? Can I still use my vitamin C? What about acids? Should I still exfoliate regularly? Do I need a stronger dose? Should I stop? I'm peeling like crazy... is that a good thing?

This happens all the time. Not because retinoids “don’t work.”Because handing someone a tube is not the same thing as teaching someone how to live with it.That’s the gap Club Ret was created to fill.

This is the part Club Ret cares about most. You leave with your roadmap, your next steps, and a much better understanding of what you're actually doing.

meet your ret guru

Hi, I'm Pualani. Licensed esthetician. Biology nerd. Cosmetic product developer. And the person who thinks someone should actually explain what happens after you get the tube. I've spent more than a decade working hands-on with skin and behind the scenes developing beauty and wellness products.

And I've seen the same strange disconnect over and over.

People can access incredibly effective skincare treatments—but often have no idea how to successfully use them.

I built Club Ret to help you to better understand your skin, simplify your skincare routine, recognize when something isn't working, and become a much more informed participant in your own care.

Your provider manages your medicine. I help you make sense of everything around it.

faqs

Retinoids can feel confusing. These answers explain what the service includes, what it does not include, and what to expect.

Book your consultation

Educational skincare coaching only. No diagnosis or prescribing.

01 Is this a medical consultation?

No. Club Ret provides skincare education and esthetic coaching. We don't diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication, or replace your dermatologist or medical provider.

02 Can you prescribe tretinoin or other retinoids?

No. Club Ret does not prescribe medication or replace medical care. Our service is designed to help you understand the retinoid landscape, your skincare routine, tolerance considerations, and the questions you may want to discuss with your provider.

03 Can you tell me which prescription retinoid I should use?

I can educate you about retinoid options, formulations, routine considerations and questions worth discussing with your provider. Medical prescribing decisions remain with your prescriber.

04 What if I haven't started a retinoid yet? Can I still book?

Absolutely. That's actually the best time to book. We can review the current state of your skin, your routine, simplify where needed, discuss retinoid education, and help you prepare your skin for better tolerance and fewer side effects if you're considering prescription treatment.

05 I tried tretinoin before and hated it. Is this for me?

Yes. Bring the whole story—including what you used, how often you used it, what else was in your routine, and why you stopped. We can look at the bigger picture and identify questions or routine factors worth reconsidering before you assume vitamin A simply isn't for you. Significant or persistent reactions may need medical evaluation, but many routine and tolerance problems are worth understanding before assuming all retinoids are impossible for you.

06 Can you work alongside my dermatologist?

That's exactly where Club Ret fits best. Your medical provider handles medical care and prescribing. Club Ret helps with education, routine strategy, product understanding, consistency, and the everyday questions that happen while using your products.

07 Do I have to use tretinoin?

No. Club Ret is about the vitamin A family—not one prescription. That includes tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene, retinal, retinol, and other retinoids.

08 What should I bring to my consultation?

Your bare face if possible, your retinoid if you have one, your current skincare products, relevant photos, and every question you've been Googling at midnight. Bathroom chaos is welcome.

Still unsure? Send your question before booking and we will point you toward the right service.
