The Prescription Puts You In Control

Take the guesswork out of skincare

With countless skincare products, conflicting advice, and ever-changing trends, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. The Prescription is your simple solution to skincare confusion. Our products are precisely formulated to work synergistically as a unified system, delivering the optimal balance of ingredients. No more mixing and matching, no more overdoing it on some ingredients while missing out entirely on others - just smart, targeted skincare that gives your skin exactly what it needs to thrive.

The Prescription is seamless, flexible and adaptable. Because your Prescription is custom-made, it can be redesigned as your skin evolves. That means your skincare is always fresh, relevant, and perfectly attuned to your skin’s evolution.

Never get tired of your routine

Say goodbye to tachyphylaxis (tak-uh-fi-lak-sis)

Tachyphylaxis is a fancy word to describe your skin’s diminishing response to your skincare as tolerance builds over time. To overcome this, The Prescription borrows a strategy from fitness training called muscle confusion. This means that each product in The Prescription is formulated to stimulate skin differently. When you use all three products together it creates a cascade of novel stimuli that prevents your skin from settling into a groove and building up tolerance to your skincare.

COCKTAIL ESSENCE

fermented treatment primer

Bottle of "Cocktail Essence" by The Skincare Bar, featuring "bioactive ferments + metabolites" label, 100 ml.

Overview

Your skin’s first drink - made just for you.

This lightweight, fast-absorbing essence delivers a custom cocktail of hydrators, nutrients, and actives. Crafted to support epidermal health while targeting your skin concerns. Powered by fermentation for enhanced ingredient bioavailability, it’s skincare that understands skin and works with it to deliver results.

  • Immediately:
    Delivers a deep hydration boost while visibly plumping, calming redness, and refining skin texture for a smoother, more even appearance.

    With Consistent Use:
    Supports long-term skin health by reducing the look of discoloration, enlarged pores, fine lines, and excess oil. Helps fortify the skin barrier and nurture a balanced microbiome.

    As a Targeted Treatment:
    Your Cocktail Essence can be custom-formulated to address your specific skin goals—whether restorative, brightening, clarifying, or all of the above.

    As an Activator:
    Enhances the absorption and performance of every product layered on top—amplifying results across your entire routine.

  • Dispense one to two pumps into your palm and gently press onto clean skin.

    If layering with your other Prescription products, blend one pump with Crystal Serum in your palm and apply as your first layer. Follow with a second pump of Cocktail Essence, pressed directly over the top.

    Applications per bottle: Approximately 150–200 (at 2 pumps per use)

  • Fermentation unlocks the transformative benefits of skincare. Fermented ingredients have been prized in Korean Beauty for centuries. Now this ancient method has been reimagined for use in modern skincare.

    Benefits:

    • Fermentation breaks ingredients into smaller sizes that your skin can more easily absorb.

    • Fermentation creates new skin friendly peptides, amino acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and natural moisturizing factors that help hydrate and strengthen skin.

    • The gentle acids created by fermentation help balance your skin's pH.

    • Fermented skin care is naturally anti-microbial and largely self-preserving.

  • Your Cocktail Essence is made just for you.
    Every ingredient is hand-selected to support your skin’s specific needs—hydration, clarity, barrier repair, or all of the above.

Overview

Skincare, made fresh every time you use it.

This highly concentrated powdered serum activates with liquid to deliver potent, targeted care. Blended on the spot for maximum impact. Powered by pure actives in an enzyme rich synbiotic base. It’s exactly what your skin needs and nothing it doesn’t.

  • Each Crystal Serum is formulated specifically for your skin—targeted, potent, and built around your goals.
    We offer five distinct serum types based on your skin’s needs and timing. You may start with one or build a wardrobe of blends to rotate through. We’ll guide you toward the right fit—or create a custom variation just for you.

    AM Blends
    Protect against UV, pollution, blue light, and other environmental stressors with formulations tailored to your specific exposures.

    PM Blends
    Activate skin’s natural repair rhythms with overnight treatments designed to restore, replenish, and recalibrate while you rest.

    Anytime Blends
    Multitasking formulas that defend by day and support renewal by night—adapting with your skin’s changing needs.

    Spot Treatments
    For targeted support where it’s needed most. Whether it’s discoloration, breakouts, or visible irritation, these concentrated blends deliver high-intensity results with precision.

    Exfoliating Blends
    Reveal smoother, brighter skin with exfoliants custom-matched to your tolerance and goals—from soft daily polish to deep resurfacing.

  • Pour a shake or two of Crystal Serum powder into your palm. Watch it transform into a velvety, freshly activated serum as it blends with a few drops of water.

    As Step Two in The Prescription, you can also pair it with one pump of Cocktail Essence instead of water—for enhanced synergy and deeper effect.

    Each 15g vial yields approximately 150 applications when used at two shakes per treatment.

  • Free from water, fillers, and preservatives, they stay fresh until the moment of use, reducing the risk of oxidation or contamination. Each dose is customized on the spot: you control the texture, strength, and absorption by adjusting the amount and type of liquid you blend in. It’s a modern approach to skincare—precise, pure, and designed to evolve with your skin’s daily needs.

  • Every Crystal Serum is formulated just for you.
    Your ingredient blend is custom-crafted to match your skin’s needs, sensitivities, and goals—chosen from our extensive library of proven actives.

BOTANICAL OIL

plant lipids + actives

bottle of botanical oil by the skincare bar

Overview

More Than a Moisturizer

Any high quality facial oil will soften and seal, nourish and protect, but ours goes further. It's also an active treatment designed to work with the rest of our system to transform your skin.

Pressed onto damp skin, the oil becomes an emulsion that enhances absorption, drives vital nutrients deeper, and seals your treatment under a protective barrier. The result? Skin that's not just moisturized, but also corrected and renewed.

  • What Will It Do for Me?


    Your Botanical Oil is more than a moisturizer—it’s a treatment built around your skin. Each blend is formulated to smooth, soften, and nourish while targeting deeper concerns through high-performance plant lipids and active ingredients.

    You may start with one, or curate a wardrobe of blends to rotate by time of day, season, or skin need.

    ☀️ AM Blends

    Formulated to defend against daily environmental stressors—UV, pollution, free radicals—while softening, smoothing, and reinforcing your skin’s natural barrier.

    🌙 PM Blends

    Nighttime formulas that replenish lipids and support your skin’s natural repair cycle. Ideal for addressing structural concerns like fine lines, dehydration, and loss of firmness.

    🌙 PM Blends with Retinol Liposomes

    A deeper nighttime repair option, featuring encapsulated retinol for enhanced delivery and reduced irritation. Encourages cell turnover, evens tone, softens lines, and supports collagen renewal.

    🔁 Anytime Blends

    Designed to adapt. These flexible blends shield by day and restore by night—perfect for low-maintenance routines or in-between days.

    💧 Bi-Phase Blends

    These blends combine your custom botanical oils with glycerin to deliver enhanced hydration, moisturization, and a silkier finish. Ideal for dry, dehydrated, or barrier-compromised skin.

  • Press up to five drops of Botanical Oil into slightly damp skin, then massage gently to encourage absorption.


    Each 50ml bottle yields approximately 150–200 applications (at 5 drops per use), providing months of targeted, daily care.

  • Your Botanical Oil is made to order.
    Each formula is custom-built from our extensive library of exquisite plant oils and lipid-soluble actives, and selected to match your skin’s current needs and long-term goals.
