About skin changes with age
Skin changes with age, sun exposure and hormones. After menopause, lower estrogen levels are linked to thinner, drier skin. Your prescriber looks at your skin, health history and goals before choosing a cream.
We compound only when there is a clinical reason a commercially available product won't work for you, such as a strength or combination that isn't made commercially, a different base because of an allergy or sensitivity, or a different form.

How to use
Follow the directions on your label. Face creams are usually applied as a thin layer, or a pea-sized amount for tretinoin, once or twice a day. Wash your hands after applying.
Before you start
Estriol and progesterone are hormones. Tell your prescriber if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, or have had a hormone-sensitive cancer or blood clots.
Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity and can cause dryness, peeling or irritation, especially at first. It is not for use during pregnancy.
Estrogen can make some people more likely to develop dark patches (melasma). Daily sunscreen helps.
Stop and call your prescriber if you have severe redness, burning, swelling or a rash.
