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.

Niacinamide

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

A magnolia flower on a branch

Tranexamic acid

May help fade stubborn dark spots and melasma by calming the signals that trigger extra pigment.
