In this thrilling Doctorly showdown, we witness the epic battle between Troan and Tartine, the titans of the retinoid world. Troan, a first-generation warrior, faces off against the mighty third-generation Tartine in a clash of skincare royalty. As we delve into their mechanisms of action, we discover that both contenders target specific receptors in the nucleus of our cells, with Tartine showing a slight edge in binding strength. The stakes are high as we explore their uses in dermatology, from combating aging and acne to the remarkable effectiveness of Tartine in treating psoriasis, a feat that has earned it FDA approval.
As the dust settles on their performance in fighting acne and photoaging, it becomes clear that Tartine emerges as a formidable opponent, showcasing superior effectiveness in some studies. However, the debate rages on regarding tolerability, with reports varying on which of these powerhouses is more irritating to the skin. The battle takes a dramatic turn as contraindications come into play, with Tartine bearing the ominous Category X label due to its potential harm during pregnancy, a risk that Troan also shares.
In the realm of photosensitivity, a surprising revelation shakes the foundation of skincare wisdom, with Troan defying expectations by not increasing sun sensitivity, while Tartine demands utmost vigilance in sun protection. The intricate dance of their mechanisms unfolds further, revealing Tartine's prowess in treating psoriasis by regulating skin cell growth, a double-edged sword that may clash with certain growth factor products. As the curtain falls on this intense face-off, the verdict remains elusive, leaving skincare enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Troan versus Tartine saga.
