Anti-Pigmentation Compounding at Gilmore Pharmacy
Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and melasma are common pigmentation issues that affect people of all skin types and ages. While over-the-counter products often promise fast results, they rarely offer personalized or medically safe solutions. This is where anti-pigmentation compounding plays a vital role—by offering targeted, customized treatment options formulated specifically for your skin’s unique needs.
At Gilmore Pharmacy, we specialize in anti-pigmentation compounding, delivering prescription-based skincare solutions that go beyond generic drugstore options. Whether you’re dealing with sunspots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or hormonal pigmentation like melasma, our pharmacists work directly with you and your healthcare provider to develop the most suitable treatment plan.
What Is Anti-Pigmentation Compounding?
Anti-pigmentation compounding involves creating personalized topical formulations using active ingredients that inhibit melanin production or help lighten hyperpigmented areas. These customized treatments are especially helpful when:
- Commercial treatments are too harsh or ineffective.
- A specific combination of ingredients is needed for optimal results.
- The patient has allergies or sensitivities to certain excipients.
Common ingredients used in compounded pigmentation therapies include:
| Ingredient | Function |
|---|---|
| Hydroquinone | Inhibits melanin production (skin lightening) |
| Kojic Acid | A natural melanin suppressant |
| Azelaic Acid | Treats both acne and hyperpigmentation |
| Retinoids | Promote skin cell turnover |
| Vitamin C | Antioxidant and brightening agent |
| Niacinamide | Reduces inflammation and improves skin barrier |
Why Choose Customized Compounding for Pigmentation?
Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, compounded medications can be formulated based on:
- Skin type (oily, dry, sensitive)
- Severity and type of pigmentation
- Patient history and allergies
- Combination with other skincare treatments
This tailored approach helps minimize side effects while optimizing results—something off-the-shelf products rarely achieve.

Our anti-pigmentation compounds are suitable for a variety of skin conditions, including:
