Everything you need to know before you begin

U.S. adults (18+) who want prescription-grade topical treatment for acne, redness, pigmentation, aging, menopause-related skin changes, or eye-area concerns - without an in-person dermatology visit.

No. Start with the closest treatment category. If it is not the right fit, your provider can redirect the recommendation during review.

About five minutes. You can upload photos if you'd like, but it's optional.

Yes. There's no cost to complete intake or to see what a provider would recommend.

A clinician licensed in your state. They personally review your intake and select your formula. There is no algorithmic match without a human in the loop.

Often related, but at prescription strengths and in combinations that aren't sold OTC. Your provider also matches actives to your skin's history, not the shelf.

Message your provider through the portal. Most reactions can be resolved with a formula adjustment, a frequency change, or a brief pause. We'd rather adjust than have you quit.

Many of the actives we use are not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your provider will screen for this during intake and either pause treatment or recommend a safer alternative.

Usually yes. Your provider will review your current routine during intake and flag anything that should pause or be modified.

Formulas start at $21.50. There's no membership fee, no consult fee, and no charge for the intake itself.

Barefaced Rx is a cash-pay service. We don't bill insurance directly, but you can submit your receipt to your HSA/FSA in many cases.

Free shipping on every order. Your formula ships directly from a partner pharmacy with clear instructions for use.

Yes, anytime. There are no commitments. You can pause refills from your patient portal or message your provider.
