Choose a product for each step of your routine- wether drugstore or profesional grade. You decide where to save and splurge! For anti-aging I highly recommend prioritizing investing in vitamin C serum first.

General Guidelines and FAQs
Below is your medical-grade routine explained.
Your A.M. Skincare Routine
AM Cleanser
MDSolarSciences Wash Away Cleanser
It's magical. The one cleanser I recommend everyone start with- no matter age or gender or skin type. It's not an oil cleanser but functions like one in that it gently removes eye makeup and fortifies the skin's natural protective moisture barrier. Plus THE PRICE makes it extra magical.
AM Treat
Epionce Lite Lytic Tx
My pick for retinoid alternative during pregnancy or those that can't tolerate a retinoid. Of course check with your OB before using. Azelaic acid is universally considered safe in pregnancy. This product combines azelaic acid with salicylic acid <2% (so less than what is at the drugstore) to treat breakouts from 2 angles so double the efficiency. I like to use this in place of toner twice daily or some skin types- especially for those who can't tolerate a retinoid well.
AM Vitamin C
Obagi Vitamin C Serum 15%
Vitamin C serum is the first place to spend money in your routine. Medical-grade vitamin C serum can't be replicated at the drugstore. I prefer Obagi Vitamin C Serums to other medical-grade brands due to the texture and price. It's antioxidant of the morning skincare routine. Start with 15% for normal-oily skin or breakout-prone skin.
AM Eye Cream
Epionce Renewal Eye Cream
The hands-down BEST EYE CREAM. The texture, ingredients, price, plus it's made for those with extra sensitive skin. I've tried 40+ eye creams, and this is it. There are others that are similar, but they will be over $100. I love that it's in a pump bottle as well, and this is the skincare definition of just a dot not a lot. It lasts for 4-6 months because a little goes so far. If you don't like it email me- I want to learn why!
AM SPF Moisturizer
EltaMD UV Clear
My go-to daily SPF moisturizer because it's packed with so many wonderful ingredients and is lightweight enough for all skin types. The tinted option is so subtle but gives a bit of coverage and simply blend with another product to make the perfect color and coverage.
Your P.M. Skincare Routine
PM Oil Cleanse/Make-Up Remover
Avene XeraCalm A.D Lipid Replenishing Cleansing Oil
Oil cleansers are the secret to healthy skin and removing makeup. This one can be used on the face AND body! I think it's a must-have.
PM Cleanser (Same as AM)
MDSolarSciences Wash Away Cleanser
It's magical. The one cleanser I recommend everyone start with- no matter age or gender or skin type. It's not an oil cleanser but functions like one in that it gently removes eye makeup and fortifies the skin's natural protective moisture barrier. Plus THE PRICE makes it extra magical.
PM Eye Cream (Same as AM)
Epionce Renewal Eye Cream
The hands-down BEST EYE CREAM. The texture, ingredients, price, plus it's made for those with extra sensitive skin. I've tried 40+ eye creams, and this is it. There are others that are similar, but they will be over $100. I love that it's in a pump bottle as well, and this is the skincare definition of just a dot not a lot. It lasts for 4-6 months because a little goes so far. If you don't like it email me- I want to learn why!
PM Treat
Obagi Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex
RetinAl is at least 12x more potent than retinOl; It offers all of the benefits of prescription retinoids while being better tolerated by patients. This is the retinoid treatment step for anyone with sensitive skin or getting started on a retinoid PM treatment step.
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Use this PM Treatment.
PM Treat
Epionce Lite Lytic Tx
My pick for retinoid alternative during pregnancy or those that can't tolerate a retinoid. Of course check with your OB before using. Azelaic acid is universally considered safe in pregnancy. This product combines azelaic acid with salicylic acid <2% (so less than what is at the drugstore) to treat breakouts from 2 angles so double the efficiency. I like to use this in place of toner twice daily or some skin types- especially for those who can't tolerate a retinoid well.
PM Moisturize
Epionce Intensive Nourishing Cream
This can be used as an extra thick moisturizer as well as neck cream. It was actually studied on the neck and chest by the dermatologist who created the Epionce line for his mom who wanted a neck cream. Yes, it's a bit of a splurge but for many 1 purchase yearly is enough to get through winter (plus have you seen the price of neck creams/serums alone). There is a very subtle smell that culminates from the natural botanical ingredients that is truly relaxing.
Note: While our Pregnancy-Safe suggestions are generally considered safe in pregnancy, all products used while pregnant or breastfeeding should be approved by your OB.
