Compounded Skincare vs OTC: When It Matters
When the shelf isn't enough — and when it's plenty.
OTC is fine for
Daily moisturizer, sunscreen, basic cleansers, gentle exfoliants. Save your money.
Where compounded wins
Tretinoin + hydroquinone + tranexamic acid for stubborn hyperpigmentation. Compounded growth-factor blends. Higher-strength formulations.
The cost-quality math
A compounded prescription typically replaces 3–5 OTC products and out-performs them. Net cheaper.
