Ingredients

At Prescription Skin, we harness the power of clinically proven, prescription-grade ingredients to create personalised skincare solutions. Our formulations are crafted using a carefully selected range of potent active ingredients, each chosen for its effectiveness in addressing specific skin concerns. We prioritise quality and efficacy, ensuring that every ingredient in your custom formula serves a purpose.

Retinoids

Retinoids are vitamin A ingredients that speed up skin renewal, clear pores and improve texture, tone and fine lines. At Prescription Skin we use prescription-grade retinoids like tretinoin (and sometimes tazarotene) in customised bases so you get results without over-irritating your barrier. They are ideal for acne, post-acne marks, early ageing and dull or sun-affected skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a water-binding ingredient that pulls moisture into the surface of your skin, helping your barrier stay hydrated, plump and comfortable. We use a mix of molecule sizes in light, non-comedogenic formulas to smooth dehydration lines, boost glow and make stronger actives easier to tolerate.

Ascorbic acid

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten skin, even out tone and support collagen. It defends against daily damage from UV and pollution, softens the look of dark spots and fine lines, and boosts glow when used consistently with SPF in the morning.

Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is the gold standard treatment for hyperpigmentation. Hydroquinone lightens melasma, sun spots and post-acne marks by blocking excess melanin. Used as a time-limited, spot-applied course with strict daily SPF, it delivers steadier, more even tone under medical guidance.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that helps calm redness, regulate oil and strengthen your skin barrier. It smooths texture, softens the look of pores and evens out tone, while making stronger actives easier to tolerate.

Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid is a multitasking prescription ingredient that can help with acne, rosacea, post acne marks and melasma when it is used in the right way. This guide explains how it works, what to combine it with, expected side effects, how long results take and how Prescription Skin doctors build azelaic acid into personalised routines.
