Topicals in skin rejuvenation: prescription topicals.

Abstract

With the recent proliferation of over the counter cosmeceuticals, prescription topical skin treatments have the cache of being evidence-based and not being available outside the setting of a patient-physician interaction. In the setting of facial rejuvenation, patient demand for prescription topical skin treatments falls into three main roles: (1) stimulation of collagen production; (2) improvement of dyspigmentation; and (3) amelioration of adult acne.
