Dr. Irwin's Product Review
Everyone in our office loves this product. It goes on like a high-end lip gloss and comes in a easy to use tube with applicator. AND....it has zinc - yay!!! The best UV blocker on the market to protect your lips from wrinkling and shriveling up! Has a little vitamin E and hyaluronic acid too.
Comes in 3 colors - rose, pink and coral. The pink is the lightest and most natural, the rose a little redder, and the coral....well coral but still light.

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.

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.

5-Point Brightening & Pigment SerumMadison MD$125.00Size: 1fl oz
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 that are better than existing lines, at a better price point, with a focus on active lifestyles.

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 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.
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.

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.
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.

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
