DERMAdoctor

About a month ago, I purchased a product that literally transformed my skin. I had been battling with dry patches, flakiness, uneven skin, the list goes on... I currently use "Retinol" products and we all know, how drying those products are. For me, however, the benefits outweighed the cons. So I ventured out to find a product, which will allow me to use my retinol products, while tackling the redness, dryness and dulling effects. I found it!!! While we all know that retinol products consistently exfoliates your skin, you need something more powerful to exfoliate what retinols leave behind. That's where DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge 1 comes in. There is a 1, 2 and 3. The difference? They all contain a different level of glycolic acid (the main ingredient in exfoliation). Because the percentage of the glycolic acid in all of them differs (the higher the number, the stronger the glycolic acid content) you must first, start out slowly, working your way up. I am currently using Wrinkle Revenge 1 and when my skin adapts, I'll move up to Wrinkle Revenge 2 and so on. I have always been a soapy feely kind of girl, which means; I love the feeling of my skin whenever I used something with a lathering agent in it. With the DERMAdoctor, however, I use it on my dry skin and my skin has never felt so clean. Dry skin, you ask? Yes, you can use on wet or dry skin. It is suggested that when trying for the first time, you use on wet skin. I use it when my skin is dry, as my skin is adapting very well. You may/will experience a burning sensation, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. That is the glycolic acid doing it's job. I no longer have dry, flaky, redness, cracked skin, since I've been using this product. This is now a staple in my skincare routine. This product can be purchased at: Ulta, Sephora and DERMAdoctor.com
