My daughter and I both have eczema, and finding formulations that work for two very different skin types felt impossible with standard products. Our dermatologist prescribed custom compounds through Pharmacy Solutions for each of us, and being able to avoid the specific ingredients that trigger our flares has made a real difference in how we manage day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Aging Skin Care
What is cosmeceutical compounding for skin care?
Cosmeceutical compounding refers to the preparation of customized skin care formulations that contain active ingredients at concentrations higher than those typically found in over-the-counter products. These formulations are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy based on a healthcare provider’s prescription and may include prescription actives such as tretinoin, hydroquinone and tranexamic acid alongside supporting ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C and peptides.
Do I need a prescription for compounded anti-aging skin care?
Yes. Compounded skin care formulations that contain prescription-strength ingredients such as tretinoin, hydroquinone or other prescription actives require a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Over-the-counter options including the RX Skin Solutions line and EltaMD products are available for purchase without a prescription.
What is the difference between a compounded retinoid and an over-the-counter retinol product?
Retinol is an over-the-counter form of vitamin A that the skin converts to retinoic acid after application. Tretinoin, a prescription retinoid, is already in its active form and is generally considered more potent. Compounded tretinoin can be prepared at specific concentrations and combined with other ingredients in a single formulation. Your healthcare provider determines which option is appropriate for your skin type and goals.
What types of chemical peels does Pharmacy Solutions compound?
Pharmacy Solutions compounds chemical peel formulations across a range of acid types including trichloroacetic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, lactic acid and specialty combination peels. Concentrations and formulations are always specified by the prescribing provider based on your skin type and clinical goals. Speak with your healthcare provider or contact a Pharmacy Solutions pharmacist for information about specific options.
Is compounded anti-aging skin care appropriate for men?
Yes. Skin aging affects both men and women, and compounded skin care formulations can be tailored to any individual regardless of sex. A dermatologist or aesthetic provider can evaluate your skin and determine which formulation is appropriate.
How long does it take to see results from compounded skin care?
Results vary depending on the active ingredients, the concern being addressed and individual skin response. Retinoid-based formulations typically require consistent use over several weeks before visible changes are noticeable. Your healthcare provider can give you a realistic timeline based on your specific formulation and goals.
Can compounded formulations be adjusted over time?
Yes. One of the primary advantages of compounding is the ability to modify formulations as your skin responds. Your healthcare provider can adjust ingredient concentrations, base type or combinations based on how your skin is tolerating the current formulation. Pharmacy Solutions prepares updated formulations as prescribed.
What over-the-counter skin care options does Pharmacy Solutions carry?
Pharmacy Solutions carries the RX Skin Solutions cosmeceutical line including hydration serums, retinol formulations, peptide creams and eye firming complexes. EltaMD sunscreens and recovery products are also available. These products are available without a prescription and may complement a broader skin care routine.
