Dermatology
Topical treatments for acne, melasma, anti-aging, hair growth, scars, and skin health.
Acyclovir
Acyclovir is a topical antiviral cream built around a nucleoside analog that inhibits herpes simplex virus DNA replication. Applied to the affected area, it helps manage outbreaks of herpes simplex, including cold sores, and starting treatment at the first sign of an outbreak may support faster resolution of lesions.
Acyclovir/Hydrocortisone
Pairing acyclovir, an antiviral that targets herpes simplex virus replication, with hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid, this topical cream helps address cold sore and herpes simplex outbreaks while easing the redness and discomfort that often accompany them.
Acyclovir/Lidocaine/Hydrocortisone
Adding hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that calms inflammation, and lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the area, this cream builds on acyclovir's antiviral action against herpes simplex virus. It is commonly used to address cold sore and herpes simplex outbreaks while relieving the pain, itching, and swelling that often go with them.
Adapalene/Clindamycin/Niacinamide/Tea Tree Oil
Adapalene (a retinoid), clindamycin (an antibiotic), niacinamide, and tea tree oil come together in this topical cream. It helps address acne by supporting normal skin cell turnover, reducing acne-causing bacteria, and calming inflammation and irritation associated with breakouts in acne-prone skin.
Aloe Vera/Pracasil
Aloe Vera/Pracasil pairs soothing aloe vera with Pracasil, a specialty base vehicle used in scar and skin-care compounding. This topical cream is intended to help calm irritated skin and support a smoother appearance of scars, with a moisturizing, skin-conditioning effect where it's applied.
Ascorbic Acid/Hydroquinone/Tretinoin/Triamcinolone
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C, an antioxidant), hydroquinone (a skin-lightening agent), tretinoin (a retinoid), and triamcinolone (a corticosteroid) are combined in this cream, formulated in the tradition of modified Kligman formulas used to help address melasma, hyperpigmentation, and photodamage. Together, the ingredients are intended to help lighten discolored skin while supporting the surrounding skin and calming irritation.
Azelaic Acid/Clindamycin
Azelaic acid's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are paired with clindamycin, an antibiotic, in this topical cream. It is commonly formulated for managing acne and rosacea-related redness, with clindamycin included to help target the bacteria associated with breakouts over the course of regular use.
Azelaic Acid/Hydroquinone/Desonide
For melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation, this topical cream brings together azelaic acid, hydroquinone (a skin-lightening agent), and desonide (a mild topical corticosteroid). The corticosteroid is included to help reduce irritation that can result from the other active ingredients.
Azelaic Acid/Ketotifen/Oxymetazoline
Rosacea-associated redness and flushing are the target of this topical cream, which combines azelaic acid with ketotifen (a mast-cell stabilizer and antihistamine) and oxymetazoline (a vasoconstrictor). Azelaic acid's anti-inflammatory action is paired with agents that help calm mast-cell activity and temporarily narrow blood vessels.
Azelaic Acid/Niacinamide
Bringing azelaic acid and niacinamide together, this topical cream is formulated to help address acne, rosacea-related redness, and hyperpigmentation. It draws on azelaic acid's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties along with niacinamide's role in supporting the skin barrier and reducing inflammation.
Betamethasone/Calcipotriene
Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, is paired with calcipotriene, a vitamin D analog, in this cream commonly formulated to help manage plaque psoriasis. The corticosteroid helps reduce inflammation while calcipotriene helps normalize skin cell growth, and together the ingredients are used to help address scaling, redness, and thickened plaques.
Betamethasone/Calcipotriene
Formulated as a topical solution rather than a cream, this combination of betamethasone (a corticosteroid) and calcipotriene (a vitamin D analog) is intended for scalp and body plaque psoriasis, where the solution vehicle allows easier application to hair-bearing areas. The corticosteroid helps reduce inflammation while calcipotriene helps regulate the excess skin cell turnover seen in psoriasis.
Betamethasone/Calcipotriene/Niacinamide
This psoriasis-focused cream layers niacinamide (vitamin B3) onto the established betamethasone (a corticosteroid) and calcipotriene (a vitamin D analog) combination. The corticosteroid and vitamin D analog work together to address inflammation and abnormal skin cell turnover, while niacinamide is included to help support the skin barrier and may help reduce associated irritation.
Betamethasone/Tretinoin/Pracasil
Pracasil, a specialized compounding base often used in scar-directed formulations, is combined with betamethasone (a corticosteroid) and tretinoin (a retinoid) in this cream. It is generally formulated to help manage inflammatory skin conditions and support the appearance of scars, pairing the anti-inflammatory action of betamethasone with the cell-turnover effects of tretinoin.
Cantharidin
Derived from blister beetles, cantharidin is a topical vesicant formulated as a solution for in-office application. It helps treat common warts and molluscum contagiosum by inducing a localized blister that lifts the affected lesion, and application is typically performed or supervised by a healthcare provider.
