Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, I had a fun moment with a provider we’ve worked with many times. She called and said,
“Okay Rania, I’ve been prescribing this compound to my patients for years… now I want it for myself!”

Her request? Our signature brightening cream made with:

• Kojic Acid 3%

• Tretinoin 0.025%

• Hydrocortisone 2.5%

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

I smiled and said, “I love when providers become patients too! This formula is perfect for melasma, dark spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.”

She said, “I’m tired of layering five different products. I need something clean and effective.”

“Exactly,” I told her. “This combo works beautifully because each ingredient plays a targeted role:
✔ Kojic Acid 3% helps lighten pigmentation by inhibiting melanin production—perfect for evening skin tone without harsh bleaching.
✔ Tretinoin 0.025% promotes cell turnover, fading spots and smoothing texture.
✔ Hydrocortisone 2.5% helps reduce inflammation and irritation from tretinoin.
✔ Vitamin C adds an antioxidant boost, brightening and protecting your skin from oxidative stress.”

She asked, “Is 3% Kojic enough?”

“It’s the sweet spot,” I said. “Strong enough to be effective, but gentle enough for most skin types. And because it’s custom compounded, we can always adjust later if needed.”

We also discussed the importance of sun protection while using the cream. “This formula works best when paired with a good SPF, since your skin will be more sensitive to UV,” I reminded her.

Before ending the call, she said, “I’m excited! I trust this more than anything I’ve picked up at the skincare counter.”

And that’s the best part—when providers trust our formulas for themselves, it speaks volumes. At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we specialize in customized skincare, made fresh and tailored to you.

Until tomorrow,
