01
Assess
We review barrier, hydration, sensitivity, visible concerns, current products, health history, and treatment schedule.
Assessment-Led Home Care
Medical-Grade Skincare
Assess. Simplify. Use consistently. Refine when needed.
Healthy skin is not about owning the most products. It is about choosing a routine that fits the skin, using it correctly, and changing it when tolerance, season, medication, or treatment changes.
Aster connects home care with in-office planning, then links recommended products to the internal Aster Store instead of sending patients to unrelated affiliate sites.

Our Approach
It Starts With An Assessment, Not A Shopping Cart.
Barrier condition, hydration, visible tone and texture, sensitivity, current products, prescriptions, lifestyle, and goals help determine what belongs in a routine.
We keep the first plan usable. Introducing every active at once makes it harder to identify benefit, irritation, allergy, or the product that does not fit.
The routine you can follow safely is more useful than the perfect routine you abandon.
How We Build It
Simple Enough To Use, Specific Enough To Matter.
A routine should have a clear purpose and an adjustment plan.
02
Build And Introduce
Products are placed into a clear morning and evening order, with new actives introduced according to tolerance.
03
Use And Refine
Response, adherence, season, medication, and in-office treatment timing guide later changes.
One Connected Plan
Home Care And In-Office Care Should Agree.
Product use may need to change before or after a procedure, and not every active belongs in every phase.
The Daily Foundation
Cleanse, moisturize, protect, and add targeted products only where they fit the concern and tolerance.
Prepare Without Over-Treating
Some routines need a pause or adjustment before peels, microneedling, laser, injectables, or facials.
Protect The Healing Phase
Barrier support, gentle care, and sun protection take priority until the provider clears active products.

What A Customized Plan Can Address.
Cosmetic products can improve appearance and support skin care, but they should not be presented as diagnosing, treating, or curing disease unless specifically regulated for that use.
Barrier And Sensitivity
Simplify cleansing and hydration while reducing avoidable irritants.
Breakouts And Congestion
Choose compatible cosmetic or regulated acne products according to the individual plan.
Visible Pigment And Tone
Combine daily sun protection with selected tone-focused products and realistic expectations.
Fine Lines
Consider retinoid, antioxidant, peptide, or hydration options according to tolerance.
Dullness And Texture
Use exfoliation carefully rather than layering multiple strong products.
Daily Sun Protection
Select broad-spectrum sunscreen that the patient can apply and reapply as directed.
A Useful Clarification
“Medical-Grade” Is An Industry Term, Not One FDA Product Class.
Products described as medical-grade may be cosmetics, over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, or devices depending on the item and its claims. Provider sale alone does not change that classification.
Use the label, active ingredients, warnings, and professional guidance for each product. Prescription options such as Upneeq require a separate clinical evaluation and are not presented as public online-store products here.

Skincare FAQ
Questions Before You Start.
What does medical-grade skincare mean?
It is a common industry term, not a single standardized FDA category. The actual classification and permitted claims depend on each product.
Do I need a consultation before buying skincare?
The public store can be browsed directly, but an assessment reduces guesswork when choosing active products, combining brands, or preparing for procedures.
Why introduce products gradually?
A gradual plan makes irritation easier to identify and helps determine whether each product is tolerated and useful.
Can I keep products I already own?
Often, yes. Bring the names or photos so compatible products can remain and unnecessary duplication can be avoided.
How long should a routine take to work?
Timing varies by product, concern, adherence, and skin. Hydration may feel different sooner than visible tone or texture changes.
What should I use around a procedure?
Follow the procedure-specific plan. Active products may need to pause, and prescribed medication should not be stopped without the prescriber.
Is skincare safe during pregnancy or lactation?
Product safety must be reviewed individually with the relevant medical provider. Do not assume that a cosmetic or “natural” label makes every ingredient appropriate.
Why is sunscreen part of almost every plan?
Broad-spectrum sun protection helps limit UV-related skin damage and supports pigment and procedure plans. Product choice and use should follow its label.
What if a product burns or causes a rash?
Stop the suspected product and contact the office for guidance. Urgent or severe symptoms require appropriate medical care.
