Lab-based actives in practice

Professional skincare is all about effectiveness, safety, and science. While many consumer brands work with low dosages and marketing claims, Prescription focuses on lab-based actives that deliver clinically proven results. For you as a skincare professional, this means you can work with powerful ingredients that not only visibly improve the skin but also fit within safe protocols.

What are lab-based actives?

Lab-based actives are active ingredients used in high, scientifically substantiated dosages to address specific skin problems. They are developed based on clinical research and are used worldwide by dermatologists and skin therapists.

Examples of actives and their application

At Prescription, we work with a wide range of actives that are effective for various skin conditions:
- Salicylic acid: for acne and clogged pores
- Azelaic acid: for redness and pigmentation
- Niacinamide: strengthens the skin barrier and reduces inflammation
- Glycolic acid: for pigmentation spots and dull complexion
- Ascorbic acid (vitamin C): powerful antioxidant, for pigmentation and aging
- Mandelic acid: mild AHA, suitable for sensitive skin
- Eterwell Youth™ (in the Zombie Cell Serum): targets zombie cells, stimulates cell renewal and slows down skin aging

Why do professionals choose Prescription?

By working with Prescription, you as a professional benefit from:
- High-dose, clinically proven formulas
- Protocols and treatment plans that guarantee safety
- Innovative ingredients such as Eterwell Youth™
- Combination of in-salon treatments and ongoing results at home via Skin Concern Sets

Case study

A salon that switched to Prescription saw clear improvements in clients with acne and pigmentation within a few months. By using salicylic acid in treatments and adding niacinamide to the home routine, both inflammation and redness were visibly reduced. This led to more satisfied clients and higher retention.

Conclusion

Lab-based actives make the difference between superficial results and long-lasting skin improvement. Prescription offers you as a professional access to clinically proven ingredients and protocols, so you can deliver the highest quality in your salon or clinic.
