Can I stop using Custom anti-aging cream without tapering?

Topical tretinoin usually does not need a gradual dose reduction to prevent withdrawal. Still, talk with your prescribing physician about stopping this compounded cream. They can review your reason for stopping, check for a skin reaction, and help choose a simpler routine or another option if needed.

Some improvements may fade after treatment ends, while aging and sun exposure continue to affect your skin. Results vary. Keep using sunscreen and gentle skin care even if you stop the prescription. Do not replace the cream with a stronger retinoid or an exfoliating treatment without asking your physician.

If you have severe burning, blistering, or swelling, stop applying the cream and get medical advice. Seek emergency help for trouble breathing or swelling of your mouth or throat. Stop use and contact your physician promptly if you become pregnant; topical tretinoin is generally avoided during pregnancy. If you later want to restart, ask for instructions, especially after a long break or a skin reaction.
