Up your skincare game with Dr. Robb’s favorites
In my experience, the best skin care routines depend on many factors which include age, skin type, skin tone, and relevant health conditions. For anyone looking to up their skincare game, the key is to choose products that address your skin’s unique needs. Below are my top seven skin care must haves that I recommend to patients-and even use myself.
Phloretin CF
Phloretin CF is an antioxidant powerhouse that helps prevent photoaging and environmental damage. Ingredients like pure Vitamin C, phloretin, and ferulic acid help control hyperpigmentation and accelerate cell turnover. One of the things I love most about Phloretin CF is that once it's absorbed into the skin, it can’t be rubbed or washed off for 72 hours. This ensures that even on days I miss this step, I’ve still got a reservoir of antioxidants working their magic.
TNS Advanced+ Serum
I’m always testing new products and changing things up but one product that’s a contact in my routine is TNS Advanced+ Serum. This next-gen rejuvenating serum improves the appearance of wrinkles, skin tone, and texture. It’s also the only growth factor on the market to address sagging skin. Patients love that consistent use of TNS Advanced + Serum can provide results in as little as two weeks.
EltaMD UV Daily SPF 40
This smooth, full-spectrum sunscreen is effortless to apply and absorbs rapidly into the skin. It can double as a moisturizer and sunscreen for patients looking for multi-functional products and offers serious hydration with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E. EltaMD UV Daily blends beautifully into the skin and is a perfect choice to wear under makeup or, as a stand-alone skin enhancer.
Ultra-Hydrating Serum
A staff favorite, ultra-hydrating serum quenches parched skin by providing all day moisture retention resulting in a smoother, more supple complexion. It also reduces signs of visible aging with a nourishing blend of antioxidants and humectant ingredients. Safe for all skin types and conditions. Ultra-hydrating serum can also be used as a lightweight moisturizer for oily/acneic skin types.
Brush & go Mineral Powder SPF 50
Get ready, set, and glow with our brush & go mineral powder. This easy to use (and reuse) powder sunscreen offers superior UV protection and prevents visible aging with a blend of nourishing antioxidants and calming ingredients. It provides a light coverage which reduces shine and smoothing out imperfections.
Retin A
Different forms of retinoids, from over-the-counter to prescription strength have been a mainstay of my skincare routine (and my recommendations) for well over a decade. Along with sunscreen, retinoids have the largest body of literature to support their skin benefits such as improving skin texture and increasing dermal thickness. Even medical conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and precancerous lesions can benefit from retinoid usage. I love that tretinoin helps to both correct and prevent skin issues.
Cosmedix RX Clean Exfoliating Cleanser
Even I can admit that on occasion the only part of my skincare routine that I get to in a day is washing my face! That’s why I love RX clean exfoliating cleanser. This ultimate anti-aging cleanser is designed to remove surface impurities with 10% Lactic Acid and helps to moisturize and calm skin with shea butter and aloe vera. RX clean can also be used as a treatment masque by simply leaving it on the skin for 5-10 minutes after application.
