Who It's For
Everyone with a neck that's aging.
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
This is one of the best performing neck creams we've tested and is popular with our patients. It improves the fine lines and some of the laxity (sagging), if it's mild. If you have a LOT of loose skin, this will help with texture, but not the sagging. Contains a high concentration (see the 3rd ingredient) of an extract from a red microalgae (porphyridium), peptides and green tea extract. It's not oily but moisturizing. Antioxidant with potentially anti-inflammatory properties.
How to Use
Use under your sunscreen on your neck in the AM and under moisturizer at night.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review
My personal eye cream. Gentle and helps with early fine lines and crepeyness. Contains hyaluronic acid, Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate), Vit E, Glycolic acid (low concentration for the eye area), a little sunscreen, and a Vitamin C ester. It has enough low strength actives (better for the eye area) to be effective. Results evident at 30-60 days. I love the NeoCutis Lumerie Riche too, but I Iike to try new products and change things up sometime.
Mid weight, hydrating and good for sensitive skin.

Who It's For
Normal to dry. This lotion is ideal for all skin types. Good for sensitive skin.
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
Organic, which is good for the planet and really helps limit your chemical exposure when the entire body is treated. I love this product (see the Honeydew lotion also). It can be used daily and has a yummy coconut scent, but it doesn’t overpower or interfere with perfume. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without being too thick or sticky. The oils in it are effective but not greasy
How to Use
Apply all over dry skin as often as desired to hydrate and renew.

All-trans-Retinol Eye Repair CreamReplenix$90.50Size: 0.5 fl oz.
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
Retinoids are still the gold standard in antiaging and this is a good retinol option for. 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.
Key Ingredients
Purified Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Macrocystis Pyrifera (Kelp) Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Polyphenols, Myristyl Myristate, Myristyl Laurate, Retinol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipeptide-2, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Phytonadione (Vitamin K), Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Phospholipids, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract.

AM Therapy Facial MoisturizerElta MD$32.50Size: 1.7 oz airless pump
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
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 30 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.

Apricot Body OilEminence$29.00Size: 8.2 fl oz
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.

Blueberry Soy Night Recovery CreamEminence$64.00Size: 2 fl oz
Who It's For
Mostly for dry, 40+ or estrogen-challenged skin
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
Organic. This rich moisturizer contains blueberry extract as an antioxidant and soy which has some estrogenic effects (helps plump the skin). Great for extremely dry skin. Smells wonderful and a very nice consistency. You don't need much and it's a very popular gift.
How to Use
Apply once or twice daily. You can thin it a little with water in your palm to make it a lighter consistency or if travelling to a more humid climate. I love this on airplanes to rehydrate hands and face and put it in a small container in my flight bag. It doesn't have a lot of preservatives, so if you haven't used it in 3 months after opening, throw it out.
Ingredients
Blueberry Juice, Blueberry Pulp, Corn Germ Oil, Cetearyl Glucoside, Shea Butter, Soy Yogurt, Raspberry Juice, Bramble Juice, Glyceryl Stearate, Grape Seed Oil, Calendula Oil, Glycerin (Vegetable Based), Xanthan Gum, Biocomplex (Vitamins A-C-E, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid), Evening Primrose Oil, Glycine Derivative, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid

Body Retexturing TreatmentSkinCeuticals$61.00Size: 6.7 fl ozs
Who It's For
Very dry, rough, or keratosis pilaris prone skin.
Dr. Irwin's Product Review
If you have dry, rough skin on your body or keratosis pilaris (inherited bumpy follicles on the backs of the arms), this is the best choice for you. Very moisturizing. It has 17.7% urea which is used at much higher concentrations in some prescription products. At this level it is extremely hydrating and you will notice a difference within a week. Also contains 2% rice protein. Also good if you are a swimmer in chlorinated pools.
How to Use
Daily after your bath or shower. Or you can alternate with other lotions and still get a nice effect.
