Acne Treatment Regimens

Your personalized
skin plan

Acne treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, and our medical team will evaluate
your skin’s specific needs and prescribe targeted solutions.
See examples of what this might look like.

Mild acne regimen

For mild acne patients often receive a topical antibiotic gel or a tretinoin cream (or in some cases, both). These prescription treatments prevent or treat breakouts.

*Depending on the prescribed medication, topical antibiotics or retinoids cost as low as $40-$90 per shipment ($20-$30 per month). If you have insurance we will bill it directly and your copay will depend on your plan.

Hormonal acne regimen

Acne that’s mostly driven by menstrual hormonal shifts may be treated with combination birth control pills to regulate hormones and/or spironolactone (to block androgen hormones), along with a retinoid cream.

*Depending on the prescribed medication, a combination of topical retinoids and birth control can cost as low as $105-$135 per shipment ($45 per month). If you have insurance we will bill it directly and your copay will likely be $0 for the birth control. The copay for the topical medication will depend on your plan.

Moderate acne regimen

To get moderate acne under control we often prescribe an oral antibiotic to stop bacteria and inflammation from the inside out, and a topical retinoid to prevent clogged pores by accelerating skin cell turnover.

*In this plan medications cost as low as $130 for the first shipment and $40 per month for the next two shipments, since topical medications are shipped as a 3 month supply and oral antibiotics are shipped as a 1 month supply.

This works and really cleaned up my face. It will take about 3 months and you might get some more acne at first. I have been using it for over 6 months now.

Meaningful change in skin texture

This product made a meaningful change in the texture of my skin. My skin is much smoother now. Really happy with this product.

Everything is great

Everything is great, I just wish I could pause a subscription like tretinoin. I don't need it every 3-6 months. I would like to keep the prescription but choose when I want it shipped. The only option is to push it off a few months but then they force the ship.

Very happy with my results

Dr.Leighton completely changed my skin. I couldn’t be happier with my results. She was extremely thorough and her guidance has been much appreciated. Response time from care team is great and they handle all billing inquiries respectfully. I’m happy with my experience.
