When skin conditions disrupt life, personalised skincare offers a path forward.
Skin health is often a reflection of overall well-being.
Various factors, including hormonal imbalances, allergies, reactions to other medications and underlying health conditions, can contribute to skin issues like acne, eczema and rosacea.
Challenges faced
Standard treatments may not always provide the desired results or may cause unwanted side effects. Some individuals may also require custom skincare formulations to address specific sensitivities or unique needs. That’s where personalised medicine offers a path forward.
When it comes to your skin, one size doesn’t fit all, especially when underlying reasons are complex. PCCA works closely with prescribers to formulate personalised medications, also known as compounded medications, to target skin concerns and help improve the effectiveness of treatments.
We can:
- Combine medications: Target multiple aspects of your skin condition with a single, customised formulation.
- Create allergen-free options: Minimise sensitivities and reactions by removing common irritants.
- Customise formulations: Customise ingredients and concentrations to match your specific skin type and condition.
- Offer alternative dosage forms: Through our range of unique bases, we can provide medications in creams, ointments, gels or other forms that meet individual patient needs.
This approach helps us to address the root causes of skin concerns, whether they stem from hormonal imbalances, allergies, reactions to other medications or other underlying health conditions.
We can help with:
Inflammatory skin conditions
Inflammatory skin conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema often involve a complex interplay of genetic, environmental and immune symptom factors that can cause dry, itchy and inflamed skin. They can significantly impact quality of life, cause discomfort, affect self-esteem and disrupt daily activities.
We can create personalised topical medications to address specific needs, combining ingredients that soothe inflammation, reduce itching and promote healing. Our XemaTop™ base is specifically designed for these conditions and can replenish the skin’s natural lipids and supporting its structural integrity for improved comfort and appearance.
Commonly prescribed drugs or drug combinations:
- Coal tar topical solution
- Ketotifen
- Methotrexate
- Salicylic acid
- Tacrolimus
Hyperpigmentation
Achieving an even skin tone can be challenging due to various factors, such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, certain medical conditions or even as a side effect of other medications.
Individuals can experience uneven pigmentation, melasma (dark patches on the face) and ultimately reduced confidence and self-esteem.
We can formulate personalised creams and serums with ingredients that help lighten dark spots, reduce pigmentation and promote a more even complexion.
Commonly prescribed drugs or drug combinations:
- Kojic Acid
- Hydroquinone
- Niacinamide
- Tranexamic Acid
- Tretinoin
Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that can cause a range of concerns, including breakouts, inflammation and scarring, impacting both physical and emotional well-being.
We provide personalised acne medication that helps targets the underlying causes of breakouts, reduces inflammation and minimises scarring. To achieve this, we utilise specialised bases to optimise the delivery and effectiveness of acne medications.
For example, our PracaSil® base is specifically designed for scar reduction. It contains a unique blend of silicones and pracaxi oil, which is rich in skin-friendly fatty acids and lipids, to promote healing and help improve the appearance of scars, including acne scars.
We also offer a variety of other bases that allow us to create personalised acne formulations in different dosage forms to meetyour individual needs. Click here to learn more.

Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing facial redness, flushing and visible blood vessels, which can be uncomfortable and affect self-confidence. It can be triggered or aggravated by various factors, including sun exposure, stress, certain foods and skincare products.
Our personalised medications are formulated to help manage rosacea symptoms, reduce inflammation and soothe sensitive skin.
Commonly prescribed drugs or drug combinations:
- Azelaic Acid
- Ivermectin
- Ketotifen
- Metronidazole
- Niacinamide
Personalised prescription face creams
Our prescription face creams can treat various conditions that can be personalised with hormones such as estriol, estradiol or progesterone, depending on your clinical needs.
To achieve this, we utilise specialised bases to optimise the delivery and effectiveness.
For example, our Biopeptide Biocosmetic™ base is specifically designed for cosmetic facial use, offering an advanced delivery system for anti-aging ingredients. This base is packed with high concentrations of biopeptides and can be used in formulations to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
We also offer a variety of other bases that allow us to create personalised anti-ageing formulations in different dosage forms to meet your individual needs and preferences.
