My prescription doesn't seem to be working
Please follow all instructions provided by your dermatologist. Use prescriptions as directed, with one formula in the morning and one at night. Use a pea-sized amount, and never more than one pump. Apply a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher (50+ is best practice) every morning, and reapply SPF every two hours. Prescriptions will not work if the skin is not protected with SPF. Be mindful that additional factors affect skin health including nutrition and environment. For optimal skin health, avoid skin-stressors like alcohol, dairy, smoke, and direct sun. Consult your dermatologist to discuss your unique skin, condition, and medication.
Can I use my usual skincare products too?
While using the prescription formula, cease use of all other active products. "Active" ingredients are those that will interfere with the function of your active custom prescription and must not be used during this time. Active ingredients include: Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic, Salicylic Acids) or any other exfoliant (no scrubs, beads, or enzymes), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Tretinoin, Differin/Adapeline), and any other ingredient or product that has the potential to irritate your skin. Products you can include are a basic cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen of at least SPF 30, all free from fragrance and active ingredients (listed above).
If you have any questions about how to use our products or about what products are permissable for use: TEXT (703)215-3087 and our skincare expert will help you.
HOW SHOULD I CONSTRUCT MY SKINCARE ROUTINE?
While using a prescription formula, simplify your skincare routine to the basic steps required for skin health and optimization of your prescription. Follow this daily routine:
Morning:
1. Rinse your face with room temperature water
2. Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-active cleanser
3. Gently pat dry with a freshly clean towel
4. Apply your prescription on dry skin, allowing it to set in the skin briefly.
5. Apply a simple, fragrance-free, *non-active moisturizer.
6. Apply 1/2 teaspoon of sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher (a tinted sunscreen with SPF 50+ and water resistance is best practice, but any sunscreen is FAR better than none!)
Night:
1. Remove makeup and sunscreen with a gentle, non-active cleanser, cleansing twice if makeup is significant or waterproof products are used
2. Gently pat dry with a freshly clean towel
3. Apply your prescription on dry skin, allowing it to set in the skin briefly.
4. Apply a simple, fragrance, non-active moisturizer.
5. Go to sleep on a regularly cleaned pillowcase
