Meds in Makeup(TM) Combines Prescription Medicine and Makeup for Customized Acne Solutions

Posted on: Wednesday, 19 April 2006, 09:00 CDT

Carolina Pharmacy Systems, Inc. today announced the launch of Meds in Makeup, the innovative formulation of prescription medicine in makeup base for acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions.

Meds in Makeup is a custom-made prescription makeup that helps control and treat various skin conditions. Carolina Pharmacy Systems makes Meds in Makeup by blending the medicine chosen by a doctor with the makeup base chosen by the patient. Prescriptions are ordered through the Meds in Makeup Web site at http://www.medsinmakeup.com. The product is a customized treatment for acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and other skin disorders.

"Meds in Makeup provides a completely new alternative for patients diagnosed with various skin conditions," said Gina Whittlesey, pharmacist and founder of Carolina Pharmacy Systems. "Meds in Makeup is a convenient way to conceal skin problems such as pimples, facial redness or irritation, while treating acne, rosacea or other skin conditions."

Each proactive acne or rosacea treatment is custom-made by licensed pharmacists using the practice of pharmaceutical compounding. Meds in Makeup provides people with prescription-treatable skin problems an alternative way to apply their treatment. This can improve patient compliance, particularly among teenagers who may want to wear makeup to hide their acne instead of using acne medication. Acne makeup such as Meds in Makeup can conceal acne while effectively treating it. Effective treatment is necessary because no product can completely get rid of acne.

Meds in Makeup also addresses the self-image issues of patients with skin conditions. Teen self-esteem may be improved when adolescents can hide acne with makeup while getting rid of pimples. Patients with rosacea, eczema and psoriasis can conceal redness and irritation as they treat it, which lessens the need to cover affected areas with clothing and can help boost self-esteem.
