SkinMedica might not be available in most of your local beauty spots, but it’s available in the most important spots– your doctor’s office. Who better to buy skincare from than your doctor when he or she knows what your skincare issues are and can help you put together the right combination of products that are perfect for your skin.
You might not be as familiar with SkinMedica–even if you go to an aesthetician on a regular basis– but this is a line created by a doctor whose focus is about getting great products that work as after-care product for post-procedure (laser, peel or some other kind of office treatment). SkinMedica founder, world renowned dermatologist Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, has been a pioneer and an innovator/expert in the use of lasers in skin rejuvenation and a leader in dermatology for over 30 years. Dr. Fitzpatrick’s scientific interests in maximizing improvement in topical formulations to reverse photoaging led him to the development of his own unique skin care line and formulation of a new aesthetic and pharmaceutical company, SkinMedica.
Josie Juncal, Vice President, Skin Medica.
While we weren’t able to get Dr. Fitzpatrick to talk to us, we have SkinMedica Vice President Josie Juncal on podcast to discuss the development of the SkinMedica products and because of the innovation behind these products, beauty magazines award the brand with awards for the effectiveness of these products. Patients prove their effectiveness.
The bottom line is that when you use the best ingredients and spend years testing and formulating for better product delivery and efficacy, you get what you pay for– beautiful skin.
I personally have been able to try these three products — and yes they are a little pricy (but a whole lot less than brands that don’t have anything close in the delivery system, ingredient potency or blend of specific ingredients). Skip the celebrities who use other $500 products, give me one product that will last me a few months and give me better looking skin and it pays for itself– because I look better.
TNS Essential Serum has won awards from Allure Magazine and other publications. It’s got all the right ingredients and it takes a smidge of the product twice a day to get you looking better.
•The all-in-one rejuvenating product
•Full-strength TNS Recovery Complex works synergistically with peptides to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and the overall tone and texture of skin
•Seven antioxidants fight free radical damage
•Specialty ingredients provide immediate visual smoothing
•Alpha arbutin brightens the skin
The TNS Recovery Complex is another ground-breaking product.
•Highest levels of patented growth factor blend
•Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
•Enhances the skin’s natural ability to rejuvenate itself
•Minimizes the appearance of age spots and dyspigmentation
•Improves skin tone, texture and firmness
I tried this product too and I liked it. I started seeing a subtle difference in a week. I just kept looking better. When I stopped using it — to test how my skin responded, the pigmentation started reappearing– so I started using it again — and voila– pigmenetation started to fade again. LOVE THAT!!
•Growth factors and peptides work synergistically to reduce the appearance fine lines and wrinkles
•Reduces the appearance of dark circles
•Helps to improve firmness and resiliency
This is one of those products that I do believe that having one for your handbag just might be a wise idea! Your eyes show damage first and it’s definitely a great product and I liked how a little of it goes a long way.
Yes, I was given some products to evaluate gratis but that does not affect how I view and evaluate products. I know the difference between creams with jaw-dropping price tags that don’t have enough potent ingredients to do what they claim and I know great products when I test them out. (Which is why I use them, stop using them and start using them again to see if there were changes or not)
If you have the opportunity to have a SkinMedica facial or peel, I would recommend it. They rock!
