Possibly — and your dermatologist screens for this in your case review, so be sure to mention them. The most common interactions to flag:

  • Other prescription topical or oral retinoids
  • Photosensitizing medications
  • Topical antibiotics or oral antibiotics
  • Hormonal medications
  • Immunosuppressants and biologics

List your current medications in your assessment, including over-the-counter supplements, hormonal contraception, and any medications you've started in the past 30 days. If you start a new medication mid-treatment, message your dermatologist before your next refill so the formula can be adjusted if needed.
