Get prescription skincare with a virtual consultation

Yes. Through Miiskin, you can consult an independent, board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state. After reviewing your skin concerns, photographs, and medical history, your dermatologist can recommend prescription skincare tailored to your needs, when medically appropriate.

Medical-grade skincare refers to skincare products marketed as having high-quality ingredients or formulations designed to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

However, “medical-grade” is a marketing term, not an official FDA classification. These products are not necessarily more effective than regular skincare products, and many are available without a prescription.

Medical-grade skincare should not be confused with prescription skincare, which contains medications that require authorization from a licensed healthcare professional.

A board-certified dermatologist can help you determine whether over-the-counter skincare or prescription treatment is more appropriate for your skin concerns.

Yes. Some online skincare services offer pay-per-visit consultations without requiring a monthly subscription. Through Miiskin, you can consult an independent, board-certified dermatologist and request personalized prescription skincare without a subscription. You only pay for your consultation and any prescribed medication. Follow-up consultations and prescription renewals are charged separately.

Absolutely! For example if you had severe melasma or hyperpigmentation in your face, your doctor will probably prescribe a formula with hydroquinone, after your dark spots disappear over time, they will probably adjust the formula to include azelaic acid or tranexamic acid instead.

Important Disclaimer: Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy.

Personalized prescription skincare can be a smart choice if you have persistent or complex skin concerns. It delivers targeted treatments with a mix of clinically supported ingredients to tackle multiple concerns at once resulting in more effective, visible results. 

Personalized skincare made from compounded medications is not FDA-approved; although the individual ingredients in the formula may be FDA-approved, the customized formulations themselves are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. These preparations are made case by case by licensed pharmacists and dermatologists under state and federal compounding laws. This means they can be legally prescribed and dispensed, but unlike mass-produced drugs, they don’t undergo FDA’s rigorous approval process, so quality and consistency may vary depending on the pharmacy.

Personalized prescriptions (also known as customized skincare) can be safe and effective when prepared by licensed, reputable pharmacies for patients with specific medical needs that commercially available drugs don’t meet (for example, adjusting dosage, removing allergens, or combining ingredients). 

However, because compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, they don’t go through the same rigorous testing for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing consistency as approved medications. Their quality largely depends on the compounding pharmacy’s practices, and risks can include contamination, incorrect dosing, or variability in potency. For many patients, compounded medications work well and fill important gaps, but their safety and effectiveness are more variable than standardized, FDA-approved drugs.
