    What the gurus are saying

    Tretinoin in a custom formula delivers visible results for premature aging, dark spots, and acne, and the personalization means you can pair it with other prescription ingredients you can't find over the counter. Both gurus who tried it found the formulation surprisingly gentle despite tretinoin's potency, though that gentleness likely depends on how the pharmacy compounds yours. At around $25 a month, the prescription route costs less than many over-the-counter alternatives.

    "This is my Dermatica prescription and it works great for me. It has tretinoin but mine also has antibiotics for the little pimples that I get around my nose and on my forehead and on my chin and my jaw and my chest and my back. When you leave the combining or what's called the prescription compounding to the experts, it really takes out the guesswork, and it allows you to have access to other ingredients that you can't get over the counter."

    "Mine also has azelaic acid, which is a very underrated but very effective ingredient for concerns like hyperpigmentation. It's an awesome formula. [...] I love how gentle the formula is because my skin tends to be a little reactive, and [...] I was picky when I was first trying this out, [...] but I've never noticed any sensitivity or irritation from using this formula. I think it's an amazing way to get those prescription level ingredients into my skin."
