PRESCRIPTION Compounded Creams
Retinoic Acid Face Cream- Prescription Required
Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A that is scientifically proven to be effective against solar radiation induced exogenous skin aging. It is effective in improving abnormal cell production deep in the dermis helping the skin appear smoother and younger. The cosmetic companies are very aware of the effectiveness of retinoic acid and have tried to duplicate these results with other forms of Vitamin A like retinol and Pro-Retinol which are not as potent. Our retinoic acid cream also contains lipoic acid as an antioxidant/antiinflammatory to help minimise any irritation caused by retinoic acid. We can make any strength ranging from 0.025% up to 0.1% depending on your skin type.

Estrogen Face Cream – Prescription Required
As women age their estrogen levels begin to decline which is directly associated with the beginning of endogenous skin aging. The application of topical estrogens reverse this process thus improving the visible signs of aging skin. Research performed in the Department of Dermatology, at the University of Vienna Medical School, has shown that the use of 1g of either 0.01% estradiol or 0.3% estriol face creams applied to the face and neck daily on perimenopausal women for six months had a remarkable improvement of skin aging symptoms. Significant wrinkle depth and pore size reduction was observed with both creams as well as significant improvements of vascularisation, skin elasticity and firmness as well as skin moisture. Both estriol and estradiol induced a significant increase in collagen fibers and striking increases of collagen III. The incidence of improvement ranged from 61% to 100% of women tested depending on the effect observed. The onset of effects took between 8 to 19 weeks after commencing treatment.
The study also revealed that facial application made no significant difference in estradiol or FSH levels between pretreatment and final values. No systemic hormonal side effects were observed or reported. These results indicate that estrogen facial creams represent a new and effective therapy towards skin aging in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
DMAE Face Cream – Prescription Required
DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is a natural and unique antioxidant membrane stabilizer researched by the Department of Dermatology at Yale University Medical School shown to prevent the breakdown of the cell plasma membrane and the resulting production of arachidonic acid and other inflammatory mediators. Its antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects both increase skin smoothness, brightness while reducing sagging skin and wrinkle lines.
For your convenience any of these medications can be combined into a single cream for maximum benefits.
