Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel is a compounded formulation of Glycolic Acid 8%, Lactic Acid 9%, and Urea 10%. It is a semisolid formulation 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. This unique blend is designed to address a variety of skin conditions, including acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris, and rosacea.

Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), works to exfoliate the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve skin tone and texture. Lactic Acid, another AHA, aids in skin exfoliation, reduces inflammation, and enhances skin hydration. Urea, a humectant, contributes to skin hydration and reduces the appearance of dryness and flaking.

It also aids in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris, and rosacea. The synergistic effect of these three active ingredients results in improved skin tone and texture, reduced inflammation, and enhanced skin hydration.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help treat your skin condition, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information and guidance you need. We are committed to helping you achieve your skin health goals.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Glycolic Acid 8%/Lactic Acid 9%/Urea 10% Topical Gel is a potent solution for various skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris, and rosacea. The gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment facilitates the absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency, ensuring maximum efficacy.

Glycolic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), is a key ingredient in this formulation. It aids in skin exfoliation, reduces inflammation, and improves skin tone. Lactic acid, another AHA, works to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while enhancing skin texture. Urea, a humectant, hydrates the skin and reduces the appearance of dryness. The synergistic effect of these ingredients helps to alleviate the symptoms of acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris, and rosacea.

When using this formulation, it is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your healthcare provider. As this product can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun, it is recommended to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoid contact with the eyes to prevent potential irritation. If you have any questions or concerns about using this formulation for your skin condition, do not hesitate to seek advice from a healthcare professional.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical gel is a compounded formulation of Glycolic Acid 8%, Lactic Acid 9%, and Urea 10%. Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), works to exfoliate the skin, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance skin texture. Lactic Acid, another AHA, contributes to wrinkle reduction, skin tone improvement, and the lessening of age spots. Urea, a humectant, aids in maintaining skin hydration and softness.

This unique blend is designed to address various skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris, and rosacea. In the case of acne, the synergistic effect of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid helps to decrease inflammation and exfoliate the skin, thereby reducing acne visibility. For hyperpigmentation and melasma, the combination of these two acids works to lessen the appearance of dark spots and balance skin tone. In treating keratosis pilaris, the blend helps to diminish the visibility of bumps and enhance skin texture. For rosacea, the combination aids in reducing inflammation and improving skin texture.

The recommended application of this formulation is twice daily on the affected area or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product due to the potential increase in skin’s sensitivity to the sun. If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider.

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.
