This Is The Easiest Way To Get An Anti-Aging Prescription by Sarah Healy This Is The Easiest Way To Get An Anti-Aging PrescriptionWhen it comes to anti-aging, there’s no greater weapon than retinoids. Considered the gold standard in preventing and reversing signs of aging by dermatologists, retinoids are one of the most widely researched age-fighting ingredients available. From smoothing fine lines and tightening sagging skin, to fading dark spots, there’s no anti-aging goal they can’t achieve. So why aren’t we all using them? Retinoids—unlike retinol, a less powerful and gentler version that’s found in hundreds of over-the-counter products—are not available without a dermatologist prescription. On the one hand, requiring a prescription is for our own benefit. Retinoids are potent ingredients, so improper use can lead to damaged skin and side effects, which no one wants to experience. But, for plenty of reasons, it’s not always easy to get a prescription. Maybe you don’t have time to wait in line to pick up your prescription at a pharmacy, maybe you live in an area with low access to dermatologists, or maybe your insurance doesn’t cover them.It doesn’t have to be like that. Musely’s Face-Rx is revolutionizing prescription skincare, offering powerful ingredients, expert formulations, a customizable experience, and the ease and delight of a subscription box. Not just any skincare product, Face-Rx is a service. Users start by uploading selfies to an online doctor’s visit, highlighting skin issues they’d like to take on. Dermatologists then review and recommend custom ingredient blends, which are packaged and mailed directly to the customer’s home. Among the ingredients dermatologists can choose to include in your bottles are tretinoin (a prescription miracle worker for skin cell turnover) and hydroquinone (a prescription dark spot zapper). The highly effective ingredients mean they can recommend solutions not just for anti-aging, but rosacea, hyperpigmentation and more.
