Bayview Pharmacy's Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Gel is a potent compounded formulation specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency.

The gel is enriched with Arginine, an amino acid known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to promote healing. It also contains Glycolic Acid, a powerful exfoliant that aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Together, these two ingredients synergistically work to diminish skin imperfections and enhance overall skin health.

This formulation is suitable for all skin types and can be applied to various areas including the face, neck, and chest. To use, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product, as it can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.

For patients with acne, this formulation can help alleviate inflammation and reduce the appearance of blemishes. For those struggling with hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and wrinkles, this formulation can help minimize the visibility of these skin conditions, promoting a more even and youthful complexion.

This Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Gel is a potent formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions. It is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, ensuring easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency allows for targeted treatment and efficient absorption of the active ingredients.

For acne sufferers, the Arginine in the formulation works to reduce inflammation and redness, while the Glycolic Acid aids in skin exfoliation and the reduction of acne scars. The combination of these two ingredients can significantly improve the appearance of acne-prone skin.

In cases of hyperpigmentation, the Arginine component helps to inhibit melanin production, which can lighten dark spots and reduce the overall appearance of hyperpigmentation. The Glycolic Acid complements this by exfoliating the skin and reducing the visibility of dark spots.

For individuals dealing with melasma, the Arginine again plays a crucial role in reducing melanin production, helping to lighten dark spots and reduce the appearance of melasma. The Glycolic Acid assists by exfoliating the skin and reducing the appearance of dark spots.

For those with rosacea, Arginine works to reduce inflammation and redness, while Glycolic Acid aids in skin exfoliation and the reduction of redness. This combination can significantly improve the appearance of skin affected by rosacea.

Finally, for individuals concerned with wrinkles, Arginine stimulates collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The Glycolic Acid aids in skin exfoliation and the reduction of wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
