Celebrity-Loved Dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali's Top 10 Skin-Care Products

Skin Medicinals Custom Compound ($45+)

"I custom compound a high dose hydroquinone with ionic acid via Skin Medicinals," Dr. Bhanusali says. Skin Medicinals is a patient-dermatologist digital platform that helps deliver custom topical and oral medications at a fraction of the cost of traditional prescriptions. A custom compound varies from patient to patient, and formulations can include eight to 12 percent strength hydroquinone, kojic acid, and vitamin C. "Hyperpigmentation is tough, so I like a heavy-duty approach to start and then look for products with tranexamic acid after to help maintain the result."
