beauty<\/a> and wellness at Karla Otto.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t want to sacrifice one for the other,\u201d she said. \u201cI want this turbocharged efficacy of Rx, but I also want to love how it feels.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tTo achieve this, Cottonball brought on cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson to help develop the formulas, all of which have the same proprietary base of a sterol, linoleic acid, and a vegan ceramide to support the skin barrier. All Cottonball treatments also include both high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn addition to Robinson, Mona Gahara, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine, is Cottonball\u2019s dermatology adviser.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe launch products include: VX.1 Advanced Anti-Aging & Repair Complex, VX.2 Wrinkle-Smoothing & Prevention Complex, VX.4 Daily Skin-Brightening Formula, VX.5 Undereye Smoothing & Brightening Balm, VX.6 Precision Neck-Sculpting Complex, and CX.1 Advanced Dark Spot Treatment.<\/p>\n
\n\tEvery customer completes a comprehensive dermatologist-developed, online assessment before receiving an individualized treatment plan from a board-certified dermatologist, which is then custom-compounded specifically for them. The treatment formulated for their skin will combine prescription-strength actives such as retinoids, brightening agents, and skin-supporting compounds.<\/p>\n
\n\tCottonball will launch alongside a blog, which aims to provide education around prescription skin care.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe blog is about ingredients, about how do you work a prescription skin care line into your life. What\u2019s the difference? One of our top blogs is what\u2019s the difference between tretinoin and retinol. The answer is tretinoin is 10 to 20 times more effective, depending on what percentage you put in. It also has a higher percentage of side effects like dryness or irritation, but the blog then goes through all of the ways to offset that,\u201d said Keller Laird.<\/p>\n
\n\tPricing ranges from $198 to $234 for a two-month supply. Its most expensive products are CX.1 Advanced Dark Spot Treatment and VX.6 Precision Neck Sculpting Complex. CX.1 is meant to be used in 12-week cycles to significantly reduce dark spots or melasma.<\/p>\n
