Custom topical preparations — active ingredients, strengths, and bases formulated to your dermatologist's specifications.
Skin is individual. Some patients need a specific active at a specific strength. Others need two or three actives combined into a single preparation so they're applying one product instead of four. And some patients respond better — or tolerate better — a formulation built in a base suited to their skin type, whether that's oily, dry, sensitive, or somewhere in between.
We partner with dermatologists and healthcare providers to compound topical preparations in the strengths, combinations, and bases your prescriber specifies.
Compounded preparations may combine antibiotics, retinoids, azelaic acid, or other actives in the concentrations your prescriber selects. Combination formulas can simplify a regimen by consolidating multiple products into one application.
Tretinoin compounded in custom strengths, alone or combined with other actives as prescribed — giving your dermatologist flexibility in dosing.
Compounded preparations containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, kojic acid, azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, and other actives — in the combinations and strengths your dermatologist prescribes.
Metronidazole, azelaic acid, ivermectin, and other actives compounded in bases chosen for sensitive skin.
Corticosteroids in precise strengths, coal tar preparations, and combination formulations — compounded as prescribed.
Minoxidil in custom strengths, with or without finasteride, tretinoin, or other actives as prescribed. A topical route gives prescribers an alternative to oral medications.
Three things your dermatologist can do with a compounded preparation: combine multiple actives into a single application, dial in a strength between or beyond standard options, and select a base that matches the patient — lighter or richer, hydrating or quick-absorbing, tailored to skin type and the treatment area.
Additional actives available by prescription — prescribers are welcome to contact our pharmacist to discuss options.
Compounded dermatology preparations require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider — typically a dermatologist or primary care physician. Your provider will evaluate your skin and determine whether a compounded preparation is appropriate. Our pharmacist is available for prescriber consultations on formulation options.
Our pharmacist consults with dermatologists on base selection, active concentrations, and ingredient alternatives — the compounding details that determine whether a preparation performs the way the prescriber intended.
