I was facing an extremely long wait to see an NHS dermatologist with no guarantee they’d even even prescribe roaccutane at that point. I had tried expensive medical grade skin care routines, which made my skin worse. I had tried everything available over the counter as well as antibiotics, but as a previous roaccutane patient, I was fairly confident about embarking on this journey once more albeit online and over the phone rather than face to face. Tretdirect made this process so simple and straightforward and it’s been truly life changing for me. All the consultations, appointments and correspondence have been hassle-free and nothing has been issue. I was able to arrange my own blood tests which put me even more at ease. I was worried that the treatment prescribed was a relatively low dosage compared to my previous experience with roaccutane, but my results have been successful and with very minimal side effects. My skin will never be “filter-perfect” but I have minimal breakouts now and I’m so much happier and confident with my skin. Putting make up on and going out is now a joy rather than a chore. And I’m confident that the after-care will only enhance my results. So thanks again Tretdirect!

After a previous round of isotretinoin on the NHS, my acne returned and I decided I had to go on treatment again. I found TretDirect via Instagram and was initially wary as to what it would be like. However, going with TretDirect was the best decision I could have made
From the first consultation, I immediately felt at ease. We discussed how the treatment would be provided and the options available to make things as smooth as possible, such as the at-home blood test. This was so ideal for me, as I didn’t live in close proximity to the clinic. The tablets were dispatched so fast after I’d agreed to go ahead with TretDirect, I honestly couldn’t believe how seamless and efficient it was – especially after going through the NHS.
Bill and the team were so organised with arranging appointments and letting me know any updates to my dose, and my dermatologist was attentive and always called me on or just before the arranged appointment time, so no sitting for hours in waiting rooms.

Long story short (!) I am so pleased and thankful to TretDirect. I have a whole new sense of confidence with my skin. Thank you for all your help and support, I will be recommending you to anyone who wants to go onto isotretinoin

I have always struggled with my skin, particularly around my chin in my 20s, which always never seemed to budge despite the number of recommended products (both inexpensive and luxury brands) I had used. It got to a point where my mental health was suffering so much so, I felt an intervention was needed.

By this point I had already started to see advertisements on instagram for TretDirect and decided to reach out for a consult. Dr Ayah was understanding and thorough, but also compassionate about my struggles with my skin.

Following on from the assessment was relatively straightforward, after a blood test to get the all clear, they sent me the prescription with the Isotretinoin, alongside detailed, personalised instructions with taking the medication. Dr Ayah also checked up on me at multiple points throughout the treatment.

Isotretinoin is known for it’s many side effects, I experienced only mild-to-moderate symptoms when taking the medication, specifically dry lips/skin/hair – all of which are easily manageable and short-lasting, and in my opinion, well worth the end result.

The whole treatment process was easy and compatible with my needs. I would recommend this service to anyone who feels they are at the end of their tether with the mental health effects of acne. Thanks again TretDirect!

I have suffered with acne for years and years and previously sought out roaccutane treatment with the NHS, however, after a very short period of clear skin, my skin relapsed in May 2021. I spent a fortune on skincare, over the counter medications and antibiotics but nothing seemed to help. I started to lose all my confidence and didn’t want to leave my house without makeup or a mask. I started to avoid social gatherings and events, so I decided to reach out to tretdirect in October 2021 because I couldn’t bare to wait for the NHS again.

When I contacted tretdirect, I was quickly booked to have a consultation with Dr Divya by the lovely Bill and was very pleased with the experience, it was free of charge with no obligations. Dr Divya was incredibly knowledgeable and amazingly understanding of my skin concerns. She was incredibly thorough which made my decision to go ahead with treatment very easy because I knew I was going to be in good hands.

I think from consultation, to receiving medication and actually starting treatment happened within a week so, very quick! The process was easy to understand and follow, organised and simple, nothing was complicated. The team at tretdirect were also very organised and ensured that every question or query was answered to the best standard. Cassie, Michelle and Bill always ensured that my appointments were booked in advance so I never had to chase anyone or be worried that I would not see Dr Divya. They were flexible and even silly questions, the team answered in a friendly and prompt manner! I am so pleased with their service.

During my treatment, I was always listened to and advised accordingly. Dr Divya always ensured that I was managing the side effects (only dry skin and lips) effectively and constantly gave new tips and tricks! It was super useful.

I have now completed my treatment and I couldn’t be happier! I really wish I did it sooner because my skin is looking healthier and smoother than ever. It’s given me a real confidence boost and I couldn’t recommend tretdirect enough! It’s an amazing service and if you’re thinking about, definitely go for it.

I started my journey with TretDirect in October after having spent a lot of money different antibiotics and topical creams which did not work. My acne was becoming quite painful and was affecting my confidence; I would not leave the house without covering my acne with makeup as it would cause me extreme anxiety.
I came across TretDirect and booked a consultation with Dr Divya. Dr Divya was extremely sympathetic and understanding of my concerns and was extremely informative about the entire process of going on a course of accutane. She explained how it would help my skin and also informed me about the side effects and how to manage them. I decide to start a course of accutane as it was very inexpensive compared to other private practices and was a quick and efficient process from the consultation to receiving my tablets.
Within a week I had sent my blood sample and was approved for treatment and my tablets arrived within a few days. Within the first 2 weeks I noticed a drastic reduction in active breakouts and by the end of the first month my skin had no active acne. My skin has been clear since the first month and has stayed that way until the end of my treatment 6 months later.
Overall, I am really glad I went on accutane with TretDirect. The entire process was very easy and I did not have to wait too long to be approved for treatment, which would have been the case if I decided to go though the NHS. Dr Divya and Bill were both lovely and were always responsive to any questions I had and booked me in for regular appointments to discuss my progress. Before the start of treatment, I received an email containing lots of useful tips and product recommendations that will help alleviate any side effects such as dry lips. I found this extremely useful as a dry nose and lips was my main side effect and I knew how to cope with this. Now that I have finished my treatment, Dr Divya has assessed my latest photos and recommended specific skincare products to target my skin concerns of hyperpigmentation; she has also given me aftercare advice to ensure my skin stays clear.
Overall I am really pleased with my journey with TretDirect as they have shown exceptional patient care, and my self esteem has improved drastically as a result of their treatment plan. I would recommend the service to anyone who is currently experiencing acne and has exhausted all other options to clear their skin.
Thank you to Dr Divya and Bill and the entire TretDirect team for looking after me the past 6 months!

I have just finished my 6-month Isotretinoin treatment with TretDirect and it was the best decision I’ve ever made, I could not be happier with the way my skin looks now. At first, I was sceptical due to the scary side effects you hear about online but I wish I hadn’t listened to them! After an easy consultation and helpful reassurance from Bill I was starting my treatment course within 10 days from my first message. I can’t thank the amazing doctors enough, particularly Dr. Ayah, who has been fantastic in guiding me through the process. Any worries were only a phone call or email away, and there is always helpful, quick assistance. It’s so much easier to arrange my dermatologist appointments online instead of travelling to a monthly visit at a hospital. I can schedule my appointment whenever it is convenient for me, and I can do so from the comfort of my own home which I much prefer.

I had a lot of trouble with my acne and spent a lot of money on skincare products since the age of 13, but this is the only one that has helped me. The NHS would constantly prescribe me with creams and tablets and made me feel like my acne was nothing to worry about but to me it was everything, especially in my teenage years. My confidence had been at an all-time low for as long as I can remember and I would not want to leave the house, but now I can go out without worrying about my skin or makeup at all!

Other than dryness of the nose, skin and lips, I had no adverse effects, which is manageable with moisturiser and Aquaphor, and very well worth it now that my acne is gone. I would definitely recommend TretDirect to anyone who is currently struggling with their skin and is unable to get the treatment through the NHS, which for me was a 2-year waiting list. TretDirect is 100% worth the money, and I only wish I had found them sooner and I wouldn’t have to think twice about returning! Thank you so much to the team at TretDirect, it has truly changed my life.

I have suffered with acne since my early teenage years. I had tried everything to resolve it from expensive skincare and treatments to prescription creams and antibiotics from the GP but nothing ever made it go away completely. It has always affected my self-esteem so I was willing to try anything to get rid of it. I came across TretDirect on Instagram and instantly knew it was right for me. The main thing that attracted me to this service was the convenience and speed at which I was able to obtain the medication from having an initial consultation, as well as the fact I could have it delivered straight to my home. The consultation was extremely helpful and friendly. All my queries were answered and I did not feel pressured to go ahead with the treatment until I was 100% ready. Throughout my treatment the team have been nothing but helpful. They are easy to get in touch with and respond promptly to any of your questions over email. Furthermore, the medication deliveries are well organised and I always know in advance when it is going to be coming. Within a couple of weeks into my treatment my skin had really cleared up. I have now been taking Roaccutane for a few months and have not had any breakouts since. The texture of my skin is so much smoother and it reduces the need for me to wear as much makeup as I used to. I have had minimal side effects other than dryness but this has been manageable with standard moisturiser. My confidence has really improved since starting treatment and I’m so happy I made the decision to go ahead with it! I would 100% recommend TretDirect to anyone who has been struggling with their skin for a long time and feels like they have exhausted all options.

It has been an amazing experience, I am near my complete treatment of Isotretinion, its been a tough ride but the amazing doctors especially Dr Aryah has been amazing in guiding me through. Only a phone call away regrading any concerns or issue and definitely helpful advice. I really struggled with my acne spending crazy amount of money on skincare products and this has been the only one that has solved the problem, my confidence has sky rocketed where I am now capable to take pictures and selfies which I really struggled with as I was continuously seeing pimples anywhere and everywhere. It was so bad that the acne even developed on my back but luckily are all gone now and just need to deal with the hyperpigmentation.I started my treatment in October after signing up the week before, they send out the medication is such a quick speed whereas if I was doing through the NHS, I would have only started May this year. Although I had issues regrading doing the self test kit blood tests, they kindly advice me to go to my GP who was kind enough to perform those blood test and send the results to TretDirect. You get regular checkups which is amazing as fortunately I haven’t had any major side effects apart from dry lips but it all depends on the individual. Absolutely amazing as they even recommended products to help combat the dryness. Throughout the experience you get a personal check up about 3 times, which is very supportive and great as you get a 1-on-1 time with your assigned doctor, where you can feel confident and safe to discuss whatever issues your having . Apart from the doctors the receptionists have w amazing aswell, making sure to remind me regrading your appointment, swiftly emailing regrading any updates with your blood tests. In addition, another great part of the experience is you got a full on list of things you can and cannot to do your skin, not only regrading your skin but also any addition medication, alcohol or vitamins you cannot consume orally as this would lead to a bad reaction. Very informative! Overall I cannot fault the experience! Thank you again Tretdirect you have been amazing !
