WHAT IT IS
One cream,
the actives your prescriber chooses.
If you would like to raise it with your prescriber, our guide on how to ask your doctor about compounded medication can help you start that conversation.
Tretinoin is sold commercially in set strengths and bases. A compounded tretinoin cream is prepared for one patient, at the strength and in the base the prescriber writes. It can also combine tretinoin with other actives in a single cream, so a patient is not layering several products.
The combinations prescribers write most often pair tretinoin with niacinamide and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). A prescriber can also add estriol to those creams. If you react to the dyes or fillers in a manufactured product, a hypoallergenic base is available.
Tretinoin is often prescribed alongside other skin preparations, such as compounded hydroquinone cream. Which actives, which strength and how often to use them are decisions for you and your prescriber, and your label carries the directions they set.

QUESTIONS PATIENTS ASK US
The things
worth knowing.
Call 423-975-0597 for current pricing and shipping options for your state.
Do I need a prescription for tretinoin?
Yes. Tretinoin is a prescription medication in the United States. Your prescriber decides whether it is right for you and at what strength. We do not prescribe; we prepare what your prescriber orders.
Can a telehealth provider prescribe compounded tretinoin?
Yes. A licensed prescriber, including one you see by telehealth, can send us a prescription for a compounded tretinoin cream.
Can tretinoin be combined with other ingredients in one cream?
Yes. Prescribers often write tretinoin with niacinamide and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in a single cream, and some add estriol. Each cream is prepared at the strengths on the prescription.
What if my prescriber changes the strength?
Your prescriber sends the new prescription and we prepare the cream to match it. Your label carries the updated directions.
Can you ship to my state, and how long does it take?
We are licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We have a 48-hour compounding time on most preparations. Shipping time is additional and varies by destination. A member of our team confirms the price with you before anything is processed, made, or shipped.
