Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This product is loaded with plant based lightening and brightening agents.  The ingredients speak for themselves.  And there are actually 9 active agents in this products!  It's very compatible with other products and make-up.

For pigment problems like melasma and brown spots use twice a day after cleansing, but under all other products.

For prevention, use once a day in the morning, after cleansing then put your other products over it. 

The antioxidant I recommend is the Madison MD Triple Antioxidant Serum.

The goal of MadisonMD is to produce skin care products for active lifestyles, focused on wellness, skin health & beauty, at a good price point.

 Antioxidant/Anti-Glycation:  What's unique here is the addition of plant based anti-glycation extracts. This means it helps to stop the aging process.  Also contains gentle antioxidants (plant flavanoids) with peptides. Rich, creamy feel and highly moisturizing. 

Use nightly, or morning and night.

Sulfate free. It's really hard to find a cleanser that is both gentle, but also effective at getting makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil off.  This does both, in a formula that is creamy in texture and rinses off easily.  No fragrance except natural ones associated with cucumber and calendula.  

Good for all skin types except oily and acne prone.  Use morning and night.

All MadisonMD products are free of parabens, propylene glycol, synthetic fragrance and animal cruelty.

Retinoids are still the gold standard in antiaging, and this is a good retinol option for UV damage.  It's gentle enough for most people to use around the eye area while giving the benefits that retinoids do - decreasing fine wrinkles, helping to control pigment, dark circles, and improving sun damage overall.

Also contains antioxidants like green tea polyphenols and vitamin C, arnica, and a peptide.

Use the eyelid specific sunscreen like Colorescience Total Eye if you are outdoors a lot.  And remember that wearing sunglasses really helps to protect the eye area too.

Niacinamide is the true active in both the AM and PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer from EltaMD.  It's listed as the 4th ingredient which means there is a good concentration of it in the product.  Niacinamide is a work horse. Most people will notice within 60 days improvement in texture, elasticity, pigment and fine lines.  Also contains a vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate), caffeine, and willow bark extract.

Other skincare products with niacinamide include Revision Nectifirm Advanced - also a great product.

Ingredients

Purified Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Niacinamide,  Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Sodium Chloride, Piptadenia Colubrina Peel Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Allantoin, Caffeine, Ascorbyl Palmitate.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

When using lotions and oils all over the body, it makes sense to me to reduce the chemicals! Organic is also good for the planet and our children.  Use the oil by itself or put it over your favorite body lotion in extra dry areas. Doesn’t stain clothing and absorbs well. Has a lovely, not too strong natural fragrance. Contains five different natural oils with the main one being apricot, and some antioxidants.

Ingredients

Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Biodynamic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Soy Lechithin, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn) Oil, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Vegetable Squalane, Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Ester), Salicylic Acid, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Essential Oil.

Cell growth factors which improve skin cell health and activity, this product is better than TNS.  The scientist involved with these two products figured out how to use the young skin cell conditioned media, and how to concentrate it, without the cell waste products.  The cell waste products are what caused the funny odor to TNS.  This product is odor free!

For aging prevention and repair, use once a day at night, after cleansing then put your other products over it.

The eye serum is great also!

The AQ Active Serum (for the face) is also great to use under your moistuizer or retinol at night.

This is a serum and doesn't moisturize.  Use the MadisonMD Eye Rescue over it each time.
