For dry and mature skin
You may need to keep your skin well-moisturized, but without clogging your pores. And without aggravating any breakouts you may still be getting.
The effects of sun damage and lifestyle choices might be starting to show now in the form of wrinkles, some sagging, maybe brown spots or enlarged blood vessels.
I put this Kit together to create a great basic skin care regimen that really adds moisture plus repair products that will help to prevent more damage (sunscreens and antioxidants) and products to help repair existing damage (Vitamin A cousin creams).
It may be time to think about using lasers or sound waves to repair any specific skin problems. See our Guide to Cosmetic Treatments in our Resources section.
If you're not sure whether this is the right regimen for your skin profile, take the Skin Care Test. Please also see my articles which are ideal for those with dry and mature skin:

I chose this Kit to give your skin lots of moisture without clogging your pores, together with products that help prevent and repair sun damage. This regimen gives you a non-drying cleanser, a deep-hydrating moisturizer, two repair creams (an antioxidant vitamin C serum and a retinol with vitamin E), and an effective sunscreen in a light, non-clogging base.
It's best to use these products together in a regimen, but you can also browse through the individual products below. |

Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 30
Daily/Normal - This sunscreen blocks through Z-Cote, which is transparent zinc oxide. So it gives true broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB without all the chemical blockers. And it comes in a light, non pore-clogging moisturizing base with antioxidant repair ingredients also. Both men and women like this sunscreen.

Retinol Complex
Retinol/Vitamin A Cousin - This retinol also has vitamin E in a light base that will not clog pores and is still compatible with moisturizers and sunscreens. Retinols are another type of repair cream that have science behind them. They build collagen and normalize sun damaged keratinocytes (skin cells). And if this product irritates your skin a little, try applying your moisturizer first, then wait 10-20 minutes, then apply this.
