About compounded medications
This is a compounded medication, so it isn't FDA-approved. Your clinician can talk you through FDA-approved alternatives.

Prescription required. A licensed clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate, and which medication and dose, if any, is right for you. Exploring options doesn't mean you'll be prescribed. Results vary. Plans renew automatically; cancel anytime at least 48 hours before your next billing date. Prepaid plans are refunded for unused months.

What's inside

For us, ingredients matter

Compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy. Here's what each ingredient is there to do.

A cherry blossom branch

Estriol

A gentle estrogen applied to the skin. Small studies suggest it may help skin thickness and hydration after menopause. The evidence is early.

A sunlit green leaf up close

Niacinamide

A form of vitamin B3 that supports your skin barrier and helps even out tone.

Ferns unfurling in spring

Tretinoin

Prescription vitamin A, the most-studied ingredient for fine lines, texture and tone. Start slow.
