OTC products are capped at low strengths (hydroquinone 2%, niacinamide 4%, retinol equivalents). Prescription compounds use higher concentrations and prescription-only actives like tretinoin, hydroquinone above 4%, and pharmaceutical-grade retinoids.

Inconsistently. Many derm compounds are out-of-pocket. Our cash prices range from $35 (basic tretinoin) to $85 (multi-active hair-loss formulas) for a 30-gram tube. We bill insurance first and tell you the cash price if they decline.
BUDs typically range from 60 to 180 days for non-sterile creams, depending on base and active. Tretinoin and hydroquinone are light- and air-sensitive; we package in amber airless pumps when possible to extend shelf life.
