Do you have skin that is very sensitive or very red? Or both? Have you had reactions to skin care products like cleansers, lotions, creams or even medications in the past?

Most reactions to products are to ingredients in the "base" of the product like preservatives, fragrances, lanolin, and other chemicals. You may need products that won’t inflame your skin and that are free of most of the culprit chemicals in many skin care products.

The products in this Kit give a good basic skin care regimen that is mild and non-irritating.

You may need to see a dermatologist if you are sensitive or red. Please see my Rosacea in Depth article for much more information on how to treat and live with redness.

Plumeria

All Products: $277.90	Your skin is very sensitive, or red. Or both! You need products that won't inflame your skin and that are free of most of the culprit chemicals in some products. This regimen gives you extra gentleness in a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen, plus an anti-aging cell growth factor that is usually fine for sensitive skin. It's best to use these products together in a regimen, but you can also browse through the individual products below.
Morning Products
$23.80	Cleanser Custom Dermaceuticals Anhydrous Cleanser This product is free of most allergens in skin care products, including parabens, preservatives, and lanolin. It is gentle and mild for sensitive skin.
$17.50	Moisturizer/Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Repair Jane Iredale Pom Mist This lightweight nonirritating antioxidant can be used by all but the absolutely most sensitive skin. If most antioxidant creams are too irritating for your skin type, this spray should help.
$45.00	Moisturizer MD Forte Replenish Hydrating Cream Very Dry Skin - The best way to describe this is like La Mer without the price tag. Our patients love this product. Very emollient without being greasy. For the driest skins.
$51.50	Sunscreen DermaQuest Skin Therapy ZinClear SPF 30 Daily/Chemical Free/Sensitive/Melasma - Great for melasma. It has over 18% zinc, so it gives great protection. But it goes on very light and clear, without the chalky look that many zinc sunscreens give you. This is a physical sunscreen, meaning that it contains no sunscreen chemicals. Excellent also for sensitive skin. Expensive, but worth it for the protection without the chalkiness.
Evening Products
$23.80	Cleanser Custom Dermaceuticals Anhydrous Cleanser This product is free of most allergens in skin care products, including parabens, preservatives, and lanolin. It is gentle and mild for sensitive skin.
$155.00	Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Repair Skin Medica TNS Recovery Complex Cell Growth Factors - SkinMedica pioneered the use of cell growth factors (these are like fertilizers for your skin) with this TNS Recovery Complex. Rest assured, the current version has a better fragrance than the original. No product is a quick fix, so you need to give this 3 to 6 months to see results.
$45.00	Moisturizer MD Forte Replenish Hydrating Cream Very Dry Skin - The best way to describe this is like La Mer without the price tag. Our patients love this product. Very emollient without being greasy. For the driest skins.

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
