Is Advanced Spot Correcting Cream Right For You?
Not sure which pigmentation formula your skin needs? Take the skin assessment and let a licensed clinician guide your formula match.

A different formula may be better if

Questions
What patients ask most
Can I choose this exact formula?
Yes. Add Advanced Spot Correcting Cream to your cart to start your short intake. A licensed clinician will review your intake and determine whether this formula is right for you or if there is a better fit.
Can my formula be adjusted?
Yes. If your skin response, tolerance, or goals change, your clinician can recommend a different formula or routine adjustment when appropriate.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary, but uneven tone and stubborn dark spots often need 8-12 weeks or longer of consistent use. Because this formula includes tretinoin, texture-related changes may continue to build over time.
Will this make me purge?
Some people may experience temporary purging when starting tretinoin. If irritation feels severe, painful, or unusually inflamed, pause use and contact your clinician.
Can I use this for melasma?
It may be considered for some melasma-prone or uneven-tone concerns, but your clinician must review your history and determine whether this formula is appropriate.
What happens if my skin gets dry or irritated?
Some dryness, peeling, or sensitivity can happen, especially with tretinoin and brightening actives. Start as directed, moisturize well, use SPF daily, and contact your clinician if irritation becomes uncomfortable or persistent.
Can I change my formula over time?
Yes. Your skin's needs can change, and your treatment plan may change with it. If your skin is too dry, not responding as expected, or your concerns shift, your clinician may adjust your treatment approach or recommend a different formula when appropriate.
Is prescription treatment guaranteed?
No. Prescription treatment is not guaranteed. A licensed clinician will review your intake and determine whether prescription skincare is appropriate for you. If this formula is not the right fit, they may recommend another option or advise a different treatment path.
