Prescription Skincare: When You Need a Dermatologist and How RX Upload Works
Some of the most effective skincare is prescription-only for good reason. Here is how to access it safely on KoriumX.
There is a clear line between cosmetic skincare and medicine. Cleansers, brightening creams and sunscreens are safe to choose yourself. But actives like isotretinoin, clindamycin and clobetasol are medicines — powerful, effective, and potentially harmful if misused.
When to see a dermatologist
- Acne that is deep, painful, scarring or not responding to over-the-counter products.
- Persistent or spreading rashes, plaques or scaling (possible psoriasis or eczema).
- Any condition where you are considering oral medication.
How RX upload works on KoriumX
Products marked "Rx Required" cannot be added to the cart like a normal item. Instead, you can:
- Upload your prescription directly on the product page, or
- Raise an enquiry and our team will guide you.
Our pharmacist verifies every prescription before dispatch. This protects you, keeps us compliant, and ensures the medicine is right for your situation. It is a small step that makes prescription skincare safe and accessible.
