Before you go
- Bring the product, or its full ingredient list; the pharmacist reads the inactive ingredients too.
- Mention everything you take, including supplements: some skin treatments and oral medicines do not mix.
- Ask about the generic; over-the-counter skin actives (hydrocortisone, benzoyl peroxide, adapalene) are sold under store brands at a fraction of the price.
What works
- Hydrocortisone 1% is for a few days on a small area, not a habit; if it is not better in a week, that is a doctor's question.
- Keep active products in their box, away from the shower: heat and light shorten the life of vitamin C and retinoids.
- The expiry date on a sunscreen matters; past it, the SPF on the label is a guess.
