One of my favorite “splurge worthy” brands! This cream is super moisturizing, but feels light-weight on the skin. The testimonies from this product are incredible. Highly recommend this cream for anti-aging benefit.

"Worth it" Serum by a Dermatology PA
Non-toxic option to help grow your eyelashes/brows without the unwanted side effects from serums. I personally have been using this for a month and noticed a huge difference. It is a great option for “slugging” as its very thick.

Sunscreen Recommendations!
Dermatology PA used products & recommendations!
Favorite tinted moisturizer that blends perfectly with most skintypes. Very light weight and blendable with lotions or other foundations. SPF is needed every. single. day. Even when the sun don't shine!
Dermatology Recommended Tinted Moisturizer
Highly recommend zinc oxide or titanium dioxide based SPFs for all skintypes & ages. These are natural skin barriers – which differs from chemical based SPFs. If you cannot pronounce the active ingredients, its most likely a chemical SPF. These S...
NATURAL Sunscreen, by a dermatology PA!
Sheer and natural SPF for darker skintones! Does not leave a glow or white-hue on the skin. Soaks in and leaves the skin dewy!
Sunscreen for Black Skin & Dark Skin, by a dermatology PA
Throw this powder in your purse or beach bag, great to apply throughout the day to cover up the grease but also reapply SPF to prevent unwanted sun damage.
Non-Greasy SPF Touch-Up, by a dermatology PA!
Moisturize your skin!

I can't say enough about La Roche products - these are my go-to very affordable and effective skincare recommendations for all my patients. It is a step-up from your current cerave or cetaphil regimen. The ceramides help protect the skin from weather...
My current affordable face cream, as a dermatology PA!
Moisturizing, natural and plant-based face cream! Squalene mimics the skins natural oils and helps moisturize deep into the skin. Hyaluronic acid leaves the skin appearing plump and glowy. Recommend working into the neck and face twice daily.
Squalane + Omega Repair Cream, recommended by a dermatology PA!
A great moisturizer for anti-aging benefit. The Kate Sommerville total repair cream is formulated with peptides for anti-aging benefit, hyaluronic acid for dull/dry tone, and squalene for hydration! One of my favorite creams as a dermatology PA
Kate Sommerville moisturizers for dry/dull skin!
Regenerate your skin!
Add to your skincare regimen at LEAST twice per week. If you are not exfoliating chemically or manually, you leave a lot of dead-skin on the surface which impedes many products from working properly. I recommend moisturizing heavily after an exfoliat...
Dermatology PA recommended -Rejuvenate & ExfoliKate!
PORE CLEANSING + EVEN TEXTURE/TONE! I am currently using this exfoliation cleanser 3-4 times per week. It is fragrance free & gentle on most skin types. I would avoid the eyelid area and use gentle circular motions, allow to sit on skin for at le...
Dermatology PAs favorite Micro-Exfoliating Scrub by SkinCeuticals
AHA/BHA acids are very important to add to any skincare regimen, especially those of which are lacking luster and evenness. I recommend using a topical liquid exfoliant 3-4 times per week, without other products except a heavy moisturizing cream. Ben...

Textured Skin? Use this! By a dermatology PA
Apply to face as a toner for very red and inflamed acne. Works great as an everyday or as needed. Also great alternative for inflamed itching skin during eczema season!
