CoreAge Rx Prescription Skincare
CoreAge Rx offers five physician-prescribed, compounded topical creams, each targeting a specific visible skin concern. Like our other prescription products, every skincare treatment starts with a quick online consultation reviewed by a U.S. board-certified physician, is compounded in the USA for you, and ships free to your door. There are no membership fees or long-term contracts.
The Lineup
| Product | Focus | Active ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth Move ("Fine Line Smooth") | Fine lines, uneven texture, dullness | Tretinoin, niacinamide, vitamin C |
| Spot On ("Dark Spot Fade") | Dark spots, sun spots, post-acne marks | Hydroquinone, kojic acid, niacinamide |
| Time Out ("Youthful Glow") | Mature skin: firmness, hydration, tone | Estriol 0.3%, vitamin C 5%, hyaluronic acid 0.5% |
| Bounce Back ("Repair & Firm") | Skin repair, firmness, barrier strength | Copper peptide 0.2% |
| Pore Favor ("Clear Pore") | Acne-prone, oily, or congested skin | Salicylic acid, zinc oxide, niacinamide, urea |
What Each One Does
- Smooth Move — A prescription-strength retinoid (tretinoin) paired with niacinamide and vitamin C. It supports skin renewal and collagen production for smoother texture, fewer visible lines, and a brighter, more even complexion.
- Spot On — A hyperpigmentation treatment built around prescription-strength hydroquinone, with kojic acid and niacinamide for tone-evening and barrier support. Made for stubborn dark spots, sun damage, and post-acne marks.
- Time Out — An anti-aging formula for mature skin combining estriol, vitamin C, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. It targets loss of firmness and elasticity, dull tone, dryness, and fine lines for a plumper, more refreshed look.
- Bounce Back — A repair-and-recovery night cream with copper peptide. It supports skin repair, visible firmness, and a stronger-looking skin barrier.
- Pore Favor — A clarifying treatment with salicylic acid, zinc oxide, niacinamide, and urea. It helps reduce blemishes and congestion, refine the look of pores, and calm redness.
How to Use Them
Your prescribing provider personalizes your exact routine, but the general pattern is the same for all five:
- Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as directed — most are best used at night.
- Start slowly. Your provider may recommend easing in (for example, a few nights per week) while your skin builds tolerance.
- Avoid the eye area and broken skin.
- Wear sunscreen every morning. Several of these ingredients (especially tretinoin and hydroquinone) make skin more sensitive to the sun.
How to Get Started
- Complete the short online health questionnaire.
- A U.S. board-certified physician reviews it — typically within 24 hours.
- If approved, your prescription cream is compounded and shipped to you with free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription? Yes — all five are prescription-strength compounded topicals, so a physician evaluation is required before anything is dispensed. (Our daily supplements are the no-prescription option.)
Can I use more than one at the same time? Sometimes — for example, some members use different products on different areas or alternate nights. Because actives like tretinoin, hydroquinone, and salicylic acid can be irritating when layered, always confirm your combination with your prescribing provider first.
My skin is red or peeling — is that normal? Mild redness, dryness, or flaking is common in the first weeks with retinoids and exfoliating acids while your skin adjusts. If it's more than mild or doesn't settle, message your provider — they may adjust how often you apply it.
How long until I see results? Texture and hydration changes can appear within a few weeks; changes in fine lines, firmness, and dark spots typically build over 2–3 months of consistent use (with daily sunscreen).
Can I use these while pregnant or breastfeeding? Tell your provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding — ingredients like tretinoin, hydroquinone, and estriol are generally not recommended in those situations, and your provider will guide you.
Are these FDA-approved? Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Each cream is prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy specifically for you under your prescription.
How should I store them? Keep them at room temperature away from heat and direct sunlight unless your product label says otherwise.
