Can you suggest some more affordable options to the Neocutis products?

Hello! I have spent the last 3 hours reading so many great questions and answers. I am 45 and have been using Neocutis products and I really like them but I cannot afford them. i was using Cetaphil for cleansing, Blanche for hyper-pigmentation ( mostly from old and new picking), Nouvelle 6 as a retinal and Bio-gel or Riche for moisture. I use my Mia once or twice a day as well. Can you recommend a program like this for me that is less costly? Also I need a good sunscreen- one for under make-up that can withstand sweat and being in the water a lot and one that can be used in the winter when I am doing neither of these things :) I am starting peri-menopause as well and am seeing more acne ( I have had acne on and off for years which has n=been MUCH better with Neocutis), and I am seeing some fine lines. Tall order, I know!

Yes –  I absolutely hear you.   Sometimes the budget just can’t stretch that far and you still want good skin, of course!

How about something more like this:

PM:   Cetaphil cleanser, a Vitamin C 20% serum (lots of good brands now so check out others for price) and the Elta UV Sport Waterproof Sunscreen ($22) in the summer and the tinted in the winter.

PM:   Cetaphil cleanser, Cerave Lotion or Cream Moisturizer  (eye area also) and this OTC Retinol.

Let me know how you do!  Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
