Product of the Month for November 2010One type of skin care product that does have good science behind it is the retinoids/retinols. These vitamin A cousins help with cell turnover and help to repair sun damage in cells. Everyone who can tolerate them should consider using a retinol product. You can get a prescription retinoid from your doctor. Or you can try an over the counter retinol. I have used and have recommended this retinol by Skin Medica for years. It is not cluttered up with a bunch of other products, and is a good solid retinol for a decent price. If you get irritated from a retinol, wash with a gentle cleanser, apply your moisturizer, and then wait 10-20 minutes before applying your retinol. And apply the retinol only at night. Use a sunscreen and follow the product directions! See Dr. Irwin's article on Repair creams.

Body CareShea Sugar Almond Honey Body ScrubFall brings dry skin with central heating and dry air. Time for a good moisturizer. The drug store brands, like Cetaphil, CeraVe, and Vanicream are great. And if you want something a bit more elegant, that goes on very creamy but not heavy or oily, this Replenish Hydrating Cream is great. Many of my patients swear by it. It's more expensive than the drugstore brands, but certainly less than the high-end moisturizers. Price: $6.99
