3 Products Dermatologists Actually Use On ThemselvesMany of us rely on dermatologists to tell us what to do with our skin, but how the heck do the experts keep their skin healthy? Every day, they spend hours prescribing topical treatments and offering advice on how to treat acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and more, so you know a product is good when they too rely on a formula. To help find the best of the best, we consulted top dermatologists to find out the buys they swear by. Check them out ahead and get ready to shop — because, hey, if they're good enough for the pros...
1. SPF
Ask any dermatologist what their number one skincare recommendation is to prevent and reduce signs of aging and 10/10 will tell you two words: Use SPF. And derms are just like us — they want quick-to-absorb formulas that look and feel as good as they perform. To pass the basic buy test, it must be SPF 30 or higher and absorb without feeling greasy. Musely's Face-Rx Skin Regeneration Set comes with an SPF 30 Day Cream that's formulated by dermatologists and is specifically designed keeps your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Combined with Vitamin E, The Day Cream evens out the skin tone and smoothes the skin's surface beautifully.
2. Tretinoin
Dermatologists swear by tretinoin to reduce and prevent visible signs of aging. Considered the gold standard of anti-aging, tretinoin is not only the single most studied medication for skincare out there—it's also the only drug approved by the FDA for anti-aging. Unlike other skincare products that make bold claims, there are thousands of studies done by dermatologists that prove tretinoin increases collagen in the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, speed cell turnover to even out and brighten the skin tone, and smooth out texture by unclogging pores. The Skin Regeneration Set features The Night Cream — a tretinoin miracle worker infused with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to ease the side effects of tretinoin as well as make the skin softer, smoother, and more radiant.
3. A gentle cleanser
Regardless of skin type, derms recommend a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser that does not contain alcohol. For your best skin, choose a product that cleanses delicate skin while soothing and rinses clean to leave skin feeling comfortable and soft. The Skin Regeneration Set includes The Cleanser, a gentle cleanser that goes hand in hand with The Night Cream, cleaning out clogged pores without stripping you dry.
