Clinical ingredients, personalized formula

The customized acne gel cream is a blend of these four prescription ingredients -- mixed in the proper amounts and strength for your needs, as determined by the healthcare provider.

The Resurfacer

Tretinoin

Strong exfoliating action helps bring new, healthy skin cells up to the surface of the face and prevent clogged pores. Bye dead skin.

The Bacteria Fighter

Clindamycin

Wipes out acne-forming bacteria to help treat current blemishes and protect against future breakouts

Dark spot defense

Azelaic acid

Manges skin hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and reduces inflammation (redness).

Acne all star

Niacinamide

Targets excess oil production (to prevent breakouts), reduces inflammation, and helps keep skin moisturized. No one likes a clog.

What to expect

The customized acne gel cream is a prescription-strength treatment that helps shed old, dry skin skin. It's normal to see some dry, red or flaky spots in the beginning. To help with dryness, you can use a moisturizer—but be sure it's free of alcohol, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and other exfoliators that may irritate. When in doubt, start a dialog through our platform to connect with an expert.

Frequently asked questions about acne and our acne cream

We've got answers

How is this different than neutrogena, differin and other over-the-counter acne products?

The treatments plans available through our platform contain ingredients that require a prescription in the United States. Providers can prescribe formulas with tailored strengths of ingredients, designed to help address a range of acne concerns from sensitive skin and mild clogged pores, to more severe cystic acne.

Is this better than an acne spot treatment?

Acne spot treatments typically treat pimples after they’ve already formed. We provide access to products that treat current and future breakouts.

What products can I use with it?

When starting a new skin treatment, it is best to keep it simple so you know which product is doing what. The acne gel cream available through Hims is specially formulated to make your routine as simple as possible.

Dryness can be a side effect in the beginning. In this situation, typically one would moisturize with good non-clogging (look for non-comedogenic) moisturizer. Sun sensitivity can also occur, so SPF 15+ sunscreen will help protect that skin from sun exposure. Ask your provider if you have side effect questions.

While face wash, cleanser, lotion etc can be used, we invite you to take full advantage of our platform and ask your provider about products you plan to use. Certain products may interact, such as chemical peels, products with retinol, glycolic acid, etc.
