D'LYNN'S ANSWER: I agree... There are so many products out there it can be mind boggling. Regardless of which product line you use, I think the three most important products that you should incorporate into your skin care regimen to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles are a growth factor, a retinol, and an antioxidant.
Some of my favorite products for anti-aging have are from SkinMedica, iS Clinical and Neocutis. SkinMedica and iS Clinical help make it easier to put a regimen together by providing kits that contain products specifically for anti-aging. One of my favorites is the TNS Regeneration System by SkinMedica which contains a growth factor, retinol, and antioxidant in one simple regimen. TNS Recovery Complex which contains the highest concentration of NouriCel-MD, clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging. The Retinol Complex helps improve the apprearance of fine lines and accelerates exfoliation. Three Vitamin A derivatives penetrate the skin at different rates via a sustained release delivery system. The Vitamin C Complex is a concentrated formula containing stabilized Vitamin C in both water-and fat-soluble forms to provide extraordinary antioxidant protection, help promote cell renewal and improve the appearance of skin tone, texture and firmness.
iS Clinical also has an Anti-Aging Signature Kit that provides all the essentials without having to choose. The Anti-Aging Kit contains iS Clinical Cleansing Complex, iS Clinical Youth Complex, iS Clinical Active Serum, and iS Clinical SPF 25 Treatment Sunscreen. The Cleansing Complex is a powerful yet gentle cleanser that contains nutrients, antioxidants and sugar cane extract (a source of Glycolic Acid) and willow bark extract (a source of Salicylic Acid) which act together to deep clean your pores. Youth Complex offers immediate and long-term improvements in aging skin. Youth Complex is designed to rapidly plump, resurface and firm the skin using a unique blend of potent antioxidants, innovative natural hydrators and botanical extracts. Active Serum is a multipurpose formula designed to generate rapid and dramatic improvements in overall skin quality. The serum absorbs deep within the dermal layers where maximum benefits will be achieved. The SPF 20 Moisturizing Treatment Sunscreen utilizes the latest sunscreen technology for superior broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It contains a physical shield and a chemical shield to help protect against sunburn and premature skin aging.
Neocutis products utilize years of research that enabled the bio-engineering of Processed Skin Cell Proteins (PSP). PSP is a naturally balanced mixture of essential skin nutrients including growth factors, antioxidants and matrix proteins such as collagen. Bio-Restorative Skin Cream and Lumiere Bio-Restorative Eye Cream use PSP to regenerate the skin’s appearance.
I hope this helps!
