What Skincare Products Should I Be Using?

A customized skincare regimen is key to aging gracefully. The problem is knowing what products to buy based on your skincare needs.

Is it worth investing in expensive skincare or is it ok to buy your products from Target or Sephora?

There are key differences in over-the-counter (OTC) vs. medical grade skincare.

OTC Products:

• Are required by law to limit the amount of active ingredients

• Do not penetrate past the skin’s surface

Medical-Grade Products:

• Extensively tested and researched

• FDA cleared for patient use, which means they are safe and efficacious

• Higher levels of active ingredients

• Penetrate through the skin to treat the actual cause of your skin issues

At Brilliance, we use ZO Skin Health products. We feel strongly that these products are highly effective and deliver amazing results. Their extensive line of products allows us to customize a regimen to meet your specific needs.

Skincare products that are widely recommended include cleanser, toner, and retinol. The younger you start the anti-aging process, the more gracefully you will age.

Starting a new skincare regimen or product usually means a few weeks of “reactions”, which can include redness, flaking, peeling, dryness, and some discomfort. These are often misinterpreted as allergic reactions or inability to tolerate a product. These reactions in fact indicate that your body is doing what it is expected to do. Increased cell turnover leads to healthier skin.

We offer skincare consults to figure out the right products for you. The cost of the visit is applied to your product purchase.
