Prescription Skin CareCompounding in Chandler, AZ
Custom dermatology formulations — tretinoin, hydroquinone, and multi-ingredient combination creams — compounded to your dermatologist's exact specifications and delivered free to your door.
What Is Compounded Prescription Skin Care?
Prescription skin care compounding is the art and science of creating customized topical medications tailored to your unique skin. Unlike off-the-shelf products limited to fixed strengths and combinations, a compounding pharmacy like MedMetrics can prepare creams and gels with the exact active ingredients, concentrations, and bases your dermatologist prescribes — giving you a truly personalized approach to healthier skin.
Our Chandler, AZ compounding lab formulates a wide range of prescription dermatology treatments. We routinely compound tretinoin (retinoic acid) for anti-aging and acne, hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation and melasma, and multi-ingredient combination creams that address several concerns in a single application. Whether your provider needs a specific strength of tretinoin not available commercially, a hydroquinone cream above 4%, or a custom blend with niacinamide and azelaic acid, we can prepare it.
Every formulation is prepared in our state-licensed 503A compounding facility using pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients and medical-grade bases selected for optimal absorption and cosmetic elegance. We work closely with dermatologists throughout Arizona to ensure each prescription meets clinical expectations — from texture and stability to potency and shelf life.
Our Approach
How MedMetrics Helps You Achieve Better Skin
Custom Strength & Combinations
We compound multi-ingredient custom formulations that combine several active ingredients into one elegant cream — replacing the need for multiple separate products. Our popular formulations include Firm and Fade, UltraSkin, Groot Cream, and Diamond Deluxe. Your dermatologist can also request custom blends combining retinoids, lightening agents, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories.
Allergen-Free & Sensitive-Skin Bases
Commercial skin products often contain dyes, fragrances, parabens, or preservatives that irritate sensitive skin. Our compounding pharmacists select bases free from common allergens, so patients with rosacea, eczema, or contact sensitivities get effective treatment without unnecessary irritation.
Free Fast Delivery
Your compounded skin care ships free on local compound orders in the Phoenix metro area, typically on a 2-business-day turnaround. Some products may require overnight or 2-day shipping due to Beyond Use Dating (BUD) requirements. We also ship nationwide with temperature-appropriate packaging to protect your formulation.
Fast Turnaround
Most topical compounding prescriptions are prepared promptly. Some formulations may require overnight or 2-day shipping based on their Beyond Use Dating (BUD). We communicate directly with your dermatologist's office to clarify formulation details and ensure accuracy.
