How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Niacinamide 3%/Lipoic Acid 0.5% Topical Cream is a specially formulated skincare product that combines the beneficial properties of two active ingredients, Niacinamide and Lipoic Acid. This unique blend is designed to address a variety of skin conditions and improve overall skin health.

Niacinamide, a derivative of vitamin B3, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in reducing inflammation, enhancing the skin's barrier function, and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. It is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or blemish-prone skin, as it can help to calm redness and soothe irritation.

Lipoic Acid, on the other hand, is a potent antioxidant that combats oxidative stress and shields the skin from environmental damage. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's youthful appearance by neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing signs of aging.

When used together in a topical cream, Niacinamide and Lipoic Acid work synergistically to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and provide a more youthful and radiant complexion. This cream is designed to be applied twice daily to the affected area, offering a convenient and controlled method of application.

It can be used to manage acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis, providing relief from symptoms and improving the skin's overall condition.

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.
