Why Choose Compounded Dermatology Medications?
Compounding pharmacies bridge the gap between standard treatments and individual patient needs, offering solutions for prescribers and patients facing dermatological challenges, such as:
Customized Strengths and Combinations: Adjust active ingredients like tretinoin, hydroquinone, or corticosteroids to precise dosages for enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects.
Alternative Delivery Methods: Create creams, gels, ointments, or solutions for patients who struggle with commercial formulations due to texture, irritation, or application preferences.
Allergen-Free Formulations: Eliminate irritants like dyes, fragrances, or preservatives to accommodate sensitive skin or allergies.
Combination Therapies: Combine multiple active ingredients (e.g., tretinoin with hydroquinone) into a single formulation to simplify treatment regimens and improve patient compliance.
Emerging Treatments: Stay ahead with innovative formulations, such as topical therapies for skin cancer, tailored to the latest research and prescriber specifications.
Our compounding expertise empowers prescribers to offer personalized care and helps patients achieve better outcomes for complex dermatological conditions.
How Compounding Addresses Key Dermatology Concerns
At Custom Care Compounding, we focus on creating targeted solutions for the following dermatological issues, with an emphasis on scarring, melasma, anti-aging, and emerging skin cancer treatments:
Scarring (Acne Scars, Surgical Scars, Keloids): Compounded formulations can reduce scar appearance and promote healing by combining ingredients like silicone, tretinoin, or corticosteroids to improve skin texture and reduce inflammation.
Melasma: Customized treatments, such as hydroquinone-tretinoin combinations, address hyperpigmentation with precise dosing to minimize irritation and maximize results, tailored to skin type and severity.
Anti-Aging (Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Uneven Tone): Tretinoin-based formulations, often combined with moisturizing agents or antioxidants, promote cell turnover, reduce wrinkles, and enhance skin radiance for a youthful appearance.
Emerging Skin Cancer Treatments: We stay at the forefront of dermatology by compounding topical therapies, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or imiquimod, to support prescribers in managing precancerous lesions or early-stage skin cancers with minimal invasiveness.
Our compounding process adheres to USP <795> and <800> standards, ensuring safety, quality, and consistency in every formulation. We work closely with prescribers to tailor medications to patient-specific needs, such as skin type, sensitivity, or treatment goals.
Top Non-Sterile Compounded Formulas for Dermatology
Below are some of the most effective non-sterile compounded formulations we offer for dermatological conditions, designed to meet the needs of both prescribers and patients. These are commonly used to address scarring, melasma, anti-aging, and skin cancer concerns.
Tretinoin Combination Creams (Anti-Aging and Scarring)
Purpose: Treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits: Tretinoin, a retinoid, promotes cell turnover and collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging or scarring. Combinations with hydrocortisone or moisturizing agents reduce irritation, while niacinamide or vitamin C enhances brightening and antioxidant effects. Custom strengths (e.g., 0.025% to 0.1% tretinoin) ensure compatibility with sensitive skin.
Form: Cream, gel, or lotion for smooth application.
Example Use: A prescriber orders a cream with 0.05% tretinoin, 2% niacinamide, and 1% hydrocortisone for a patient with fine lines and acne scars to promote rejuvenation with minimal irritation.
Hydroquinone-Tretinoin-Kojic Acid Cream (Melasma)
Purpose: Treats hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Benefits: Combines hydroquinone (2-4%) for skin lightening, tretinoin (0.025-0.05%) for cell turnover, and kojic acid for enhanced pigment reduction. Adding a mild corticosteroid (e.g., 1% hydrocortisone) minimizes irritation. This formulation is tailored to skin type to avoid over-drying or sensitivity, offering prescribers a versatile tool for melasma management.
Form: Cream or gel for nightly application.
Example Use: A patient with melasma receives a compounded cream with 4% hydroquinone, 0.05% tretinoin, and 2% kojic acid to reduce dark patches over 8-12 weeks.
Silicone-Based Scar Gels (PracaSil Plus)
Purpose: Reduces the appearance of hypertrophic scars, keloids, or post-surgical scars.
Benefits: Silicone creates a protective barrier to hydrate and flatten scars, while active ingredients like tretinoin or betamethasone enhance healing and reduce inflammation. Custom formulations can include soothing agents like aloe vera for patient comfort.
Form: Topical gel or ointment for daily use.
Example Use: A prescriber orders a silicone gel with 0.025% tretinoin for a patient with keloid scars to improve texture and reduce scar prominence.
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) or Imiquimod Creams (Emerging Skin Cancer Treatments)
Purpose: Treats precancerous lesions (e.g., actinic keratosis) or early-stage non-melanoma skin cancers.
Benefits: Topical 5-FU or imiquimod stimulates the immune response or targets abnormal cells, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery for select cases. Compounding allows for customized concentrations (e.g., 2-5% 5-FU) and bases to reduce irritation or improve application on sensitive areas.
Form: Cream or solution for targeted application.
Example Use: A dermatologist prescribes a 5% 5-FU cream for a patient with actinic keratosis on the face, compounded with a soothing base to minimize redness.
Anti-Aging Antioxidant Serums
Purpose: Enhances skin rejuvenation and protects against environmental damage.
Benefits: Combines tretinoin with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, or ferulic acid to reduce fine lines, improve skin tone, and protect against UV-induced aging. These serums are customized to patient skin types and can include hydrating agents for comfort.
Form: Lightweight serum or cream for daily or nightly use.
Example Use: A patient seeking anti-aging benefits receives a serum with 0.05% tretinoin, 10% vitamin C, and 0.5% ferulic acid to promote radiant, youthful skin.
Note: All compounded medications require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Our pharmacists collaborate with prescribers to ensure formulations meet patient-specific needs and clinical goals.
