The Difference in Skincare With Customized Compounds

Compounded skincare is a physician-directed process that blends active ingredients in specific concentrations for your skin type, tone, and tolerance. Rather than relying on generic over-the-counter formulas, these custom blends are created in a pharmacy setting and prescribed just for you.

This approach is especially effective for:

  • Complex or combination skin.
  • Skin that hasn’t responded to commercial products.
  • Patients preparing for or maintaining aesthetic procedures.
  • Sensitive or reactive skin types.

Concerns Customized Skincare Can Address

  • Melasma and pigmentation
  • Acne or clogged pores
  • Fine lines and early volume loss
  • Skin dullness and rough texture
  • Redness, sensitivity, or inflammation
  • Post-procedure healing and support

What Can Compounded Skincare Do For You?

When designed for your unique skin chemistry, skincare becomes more than maintenance—it becomes part of your treatment plan.

  • Precise ingredient combinations for optimal results
  • Medical-grade concentrations for efficacy
  • Reduction in irritation by avoiding fillers or allergens
  • Long-term collagen support and skin renewal
  • Customization for different seasons, life stages, or goals

Is Customized Skincare Best for You?

Most patients benefit from compounded formulations, but it’s especially effective if you’ve struggled with off-the-shelf products. The following are ideal candidates:

  • Patients with sensitive, reactive, or allergy-prone skin
  • Individuals with hyperpigmentation or melasma
  • Those using other cosmetic treatments and needing medical-grade support
  • People with skin conditions that require tailored management
  • Anyone seeking a more effective, curated skincare regimen

After Starting Your Skincare Plan

Most patients begin seeing improvement within two to six weeks, depending on the formulation. Mild dryness or tingling is common at the start but typically resolves as your skin adjusts. Ongoing use results in continued improvement in tone, clarity, and texture. Maintenance formulations can be adapted over time to support your evolving skin needs.

FAQ Skincare

How is compounded skincare different from store-bought products?

It’s tailored to your skin using medical-grade ingredients. It contains no fillers, preservatives, or unnecessary components.

Can I use compounded skincare with other treatments?

Yes. Dr. Coombs often recommends it alongside lasers, peels, or injectables to support healing and enhance results.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Formulas can be adjusted to avoid triggers and minimize irritation while still delivering results.

Do I need to continue using it forever?

Many patients continue long-term because of the results, but formulations can be adjusted or paused depending on your skin’s condition.

How do I refill my prescription?

Refills are arranged directly through the compounding pharmacy after approval from Dr. Coombs.

Will it make my skin peel?

Some formulas may cause light exfoliation at first. This is normal and temporary as your skin adjusts and regenerates.
