Do you still have plenty of oil as you get older? And are acne breakouts still a problem for you?

Many of those products for teens and 20s are just too drying and irritating for skin that is a bit older. But those of you in your 40s and 50s still need some oil and acne control.

In addition, the effects of sun damage and a few lifestyle choices may be starting to show now in the form of wrinkles, some sagging, maybe brown spots or enlarged blood vessels.

This Kit gives you a great basic skin care regimen plus the products that will control oil, prevent more damage (sunscreens and antioxidants) and repair existing sun damage (Vitamin A cousin creams and cell growth factor serums).

And, you may want to think about using lasers or sound waves to repair any sun damage. See our Guide to Cosmetic Treatments in our Resources section.

If you're not sure whether this regimen is right for your skin profile, take the Skin Care Test. Here are a few more articles to use as a resource:

Gardenia

All Products: $266.20	I picked this Kit for skin that needs products that control oil and acne, prevent more sun damage, and repair existing sun damage. This Kit gives you a non-drying cleanser, a vitamin C repair/antioxidant serum that won't dry or clog, a retinol with Vitamin E for repair and anti-aging, and a non-clogging powder sunscreen, along with a product to treat any spot breakouts. It's best to use these products together in a regimen, but you can also browse through the individual products below.
Morning Products
$21.95	Cleanser MD Forte Replenish Hydrating Cleanser Dry Skin - Good basic cleanser that won't strip oil. This is a gentle fragrance-free cleanser that leaves your own natural oils and isn't drying.
$49.50	Sunscreen/Oil Control and Acne Care Colorescience SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear Daily/Water/Sports/Melasma - This is a great invention, and I use it all the time. It comes in a small tube, with a self-contained brush. You just shake the powder down, and brush on the powder. The powder stays on your skin, and the high zinc and titanium content gives you great UVA and UVB blocking. Great for a humid climate (or oily skin), because it goes on dry and leaves no oily, greasy sheen. Expensive, but worth it. Layer it over a sunscreen lotion for maximum protection at altitude or in intense sun.
Evening Products
$21.95	Cleanser MD Forte Replenish Hydrating Cleanser Dry Skin - Good basic cleanser that won't strip oil. This is a gentle fragrance-free cleanser that leaves your own natural oils and isn't drying.
$53.00	Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Repair/Oil Control and Acne Care Skin Medica 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.
$38.00	Moisturizer/Oil Control and Acne Care DDF Ultralight Oil-free Moisturizing Dew Oily/Acne Prone/Budget Saver - This is an excellent very light moisturizer that provides hydration without aggravating oiliness or acne.

Product of the Month

Moisturizer

Replenish Hydrating Cream

Fall 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: $45.00
