What should I do if I miss a dose of Custom anti-aging cream?
Short answer
Follow any missed-dose instructions on your Custom anti-aging cream label or from your prescribing physician. If you miss a nighttime application, skip it and return to your prescribed schedule the next night. Do not double the amount or apply extra cream to make up for the missed dose.
Check your pharmacy label first for missed-dose directions. If you miss a nighttime application, skip that application and return to your usual prescribed schedule the next night. Do not use two doses together, apply a thicker layer, or add an extra daytime application to catch up. Contact your pharmacy if your label gives different instructions or you are unsure what to do.
An extra application can increase burning, redness, dryness, and peeling. Using more cream is not a safe way to speed up changes in your skin. Results vary. Keep the same small amount and schedule your prescribing physician recommended rather than trying to compensate for a missed night.
If you often miss applications because the cream stings or dries your skin, tell your physician. They may need to review your routine or adjust your instructions. After a longer break, ask whether you should restart on a different schedule. Do not restart on broken, sunburned, or very irritated skin without medical guidance.
