This unique blend is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, including acne, wrinkles, and sun damage, providing targeted treatment for your specific skin concerns.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical serum is a meticulously compounded formulation of four active ingredients: Tretinoin 0.02%, Ascorbic Acid 2%, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Aloe Vera. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in skin rejuvenation and treatment of various skin conditions.

It works by promoting the turnover of skin cells, thereby improving the texture and tone of the skin.

Ascorbic Acid, a potent form of Vitamin C, is renowned for its skin-brightening properties. It aids in reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even and radiant skin tone.

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a peptide that stimulates collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. By boosting collagen production, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leading to a smoother and younger-looking skin.

Aloe Vera, a plant extract with soothing and hydrating properties, helps to calm the skin and provide essential hydration. It is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or irritated skin, as it can help to reduce redness and inflammation.

This formulation is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and dark spots. It can also be used to help reduce the appearance of scars. To use this formulation, apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily. It is important to note that this formulation can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so it is recommended to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please do not hesitate to reach out.

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.
