Hi all,

Sorry for those of you expecting a nail polish related post, but I wanted to share a service near and dear to my heart (okay that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it saved my face)! This service is called Pocketderm. Pocketderm provides you with online access to a dermatologist. This dermatologist will consult with you through photographs and some medical background provided by the customer. Then, your Pocketderm dermatologist will create a custom prescription lotion to apply to your face once a day.
Quite the different a few months can make! I started this service back in July 16th. The original photos that I sent in can be seen below:

So much better! My skin is far from perfect, but compared to where it used to be...I couldn't be happier. Now that I've let the pictures do the talking, let's get down to the nitty gritty details about Pocketderm.

Pocketderm is $20/month. This $20 covers the cost of medication, shipping, and unlimited online consultations with your dermatologist. These consultations are in the form of an online chat with your dermatologist. You can ask them about anything skin care related. For example, I chat with my dermatologist every time I'm thinking about adding a new product to my routine or when I need a product recommendation. This is extremely convenient and relatively cheap (considering the prices of other prescription creams)! On that note, my medication contains not one, but three actives mixed into one easy to apply lotion. My formulation includes:
Thanks for stopping by,
