Dermatology Compounding

At Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy, we work closely with dermatologists to provide personalized, hard-to-find, and customized medications designed to meet specific skin health needs. Whether you are managing a chronic condition or addressing a short-term skin concern, our pharmacy is dedicated to offering solutions that may help make your treatment more effective and comfortable.

 

Skin conditions are as unique as the individuals who experience them. While good skin care, nutrition, and lifestyle choices play a role in supporting healthy skin, they often need to be combined with targeted medications to achieve the best results. That’s where our dermatology compounding services may help.
