Our reading of the offer

Compare the right things

Start with the diagnosis behind the dark patch. Melasma, post-inflammatory marks and an unexplained changing lesion are not the same problem. Hydroquinone, other pigment ingredients and peels require different plans.

Context: AAD melasma guidance ↗ · FDA on compounded medicines ↗.

Compounded is a distinct category. This finished preparation is not FDA-approved. Approval or research involving an individual ingredient does not establish approval, safety or effectiveness of this exact blend.

Before starting or switching

Hydroquinone needs a clinician-directed course and reassessment. Avoid it during pregnancy; do not use a fading cream to self-treat an unexplained lesion.

  • What exact ingredients, strengths and dosage form will I receive?
  • What is the full first charge, quantity, refill schedule and cancellation policy?
  • When should treatment be reassessed, and how do I contact the clinician?

These are questions for a licensed clinician, not instructions to start, stop or change a prescription. Read the product’s complete safety information.

CoreAge Rx is placed first because it is this publication’s promoted recommendation. No head-to-head clinical testing supports a claim that it is better or safer than other prescription skincare products.
