The Science

Why prescription skincare
outperforms OTC.

1
Complete Your Skin Assessment
A short online questionnaire covering your skin concerns, history, current routine, and sensitivities. Takes 5 minutes. Your provider uses this to select your starting formula and concentration.
2
Physician Selects Your Formula
A licensed clinician chooses your prescription product and concentration. Tretinoin strength, copper peptide inclusion, and combination decisions are all made based on your specific skin profile.
3
Compounded Formula Ships
Your prescription ships from a licensed 503A pharmacy within 3–5 business days with application instructions. Includes guidance for the purging period so you know exactly what to expect in the first 4–8 weeks.
4
Protocol Adjusts as Your Skin Changes
Your provider adjusts concentration and formula as your skin builds tolerance and your goals evolve. Tretinoin concentration is typically increased every 3–6 months as your skin adapts.
Clinical Evidence
30+ yrs
Tretinoin is the only topical skincare ingredient with over 30 years of peer-reviewed clinical evidence for anti-aging and skin renewal
copper peptide
Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, reduces fine lines, and improves skin density — backed by decades of peptide research
Rx vs OTC
Prescription tretinoin contains the active retinoid molecule. OTC retinols must be converted in skin — a slow, incomplete process that reduces efficacy significantly
Skin results require consistent use over 3–6 months. A purging phase is expected in the first 4–8 weeks as cell turnover increases. Individual results vary by skin type and baseline condition.

"I spent years on serums that did nothing. Three months of tretinoin and my skin texture is completely different. The purging phase was real but my provider told me exactly what to expect — that made all the difference."

"The Cashmere Cream is everything in one product. I'm 44 and people are asking if I've had work done. I haven't. It's just what consistent prescription tretinoin does over time."

★★★★★
"Rosacea made me avoid everything with active ingredients. The azelaic + niacinamide formula calmed the redness in 6 weeks. My provider gradually added low-dose tretinoin after that."

FAQ

Questions about
prescription skincare.

01What is the difference between tretinoin and retinol?
Tretinoin is prescription retinoic acid — the active form that works directly on skin receptors. OTC retinol must be converted by your skin into retinoic acid, a slow and incomplete process that delivers a fraction of the potency. Tretinoin is backed by 30+ years of clinical evidence. Retinol is its much weaker OTC approximation.
02Is purging normal when starting tretinoin?
Yes. A purging phase in weeks 2–8 is expected and is a sign the product is working. Accelerated cell turnover brings underlying congestion to the surface faster than normal. Your provider will prepare you for this and differentiate purging (expected, temporary) from a true reaction (rare, different pattern). Most patients clear significantly after week 8.
03How should I start tretinoin?
Your provider will recommend a starting concentration (typically 0.025% or 0.05%) and a frequency — often 2–3 nights per week to start. You apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin after cleansing. Moisturizer is applied on top. Frequency is increased as tolerance builds. Sunscreen every morning is non-negotiable while using tretinoin.
04Can I use tretinoin and copper peptide together?
Yes, and they work synergistically. copper peptide helps repair and strengthen the skin barrier — which can offset some of the irritation from tretinoin, particularly in the early weeks. The Cashmere Cream combines both in a single formulation. Your provider will guide the sequencing and layering based on your skin tolerance.
