Visibly younger skin — in 12 weeks.
Skin Protocol.
Visible improvements in 6–12 weeks
The Rx skincare protocol Hims can't prescribe. A compounded night treatment, a peptide support serum, and daily photoprotection — engineered to work as one system. This is where your longevity stack begins.
Three steps.
One system.
PM Protocol
Compounded Rx night treatment. The workhorse — drives visible aging reversal.
Learn more →AM Protocol
Peptide serum. Supports collagen, softens PM Protocol irritation.
Learn more →SPF Protocol
Essential with PM Protocol. Tretinoin makes skin sun-sensitive — SPF protects what the Rx layer builds.

Based on median clinical response. Individual results vary.
Answered.
Can I order just one component?
Yes — each is available solo. But the three compound: PM drives change, AM keeps it tolerable, SPF preserves the outcome. Removing any one reduces the others' effectiveness.
Do I need all three to start?
PM + SPF is the non-negotiable baseline. Tretinoin without daily SPF accelerates damage instead of reversing it. AM is strongly recommended but can be added later.
How long until I see results?
Most users see smoother texture and tone within 8–12 weeks. Meaningful change in fine lines and photoaging compounds over 6–12 months of consistent use.
What if my skin reacts badly?
Message your clinician. Strength can be adjusted — your clinician can step tretinoin down to a gentler dose within 24 hours. We don't let irritation cause you to quit.
