Dr. Irwin's Product Review

 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. 

Key Ingredients:

Ascorbyl Glucoside, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Tocopherylacetate, Vaccinium Myrtillus Extract/Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Sodium Citrate, Caffeine, Chlorphensin, Palmitoyl Terapepide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Dipeptide-2

Allergies:  Contains propylene glycol

Size: 0.5 fl oz.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This is a good retinol option for the eye area.  It's gentle enough for most people to use while giving the benefits that retinoids do - decreasing fine wrinkles, helping to control pigment and dark circles, and improving sun damage overall.   For most people trying to use Renova, tretinoin or other retinoids is too irritating on eyelid skin. Also contains antioxidants like green tea polyphenols and vitamin C, Arnica, and a peptide.   Remember that wearing sunglasses really helps to protect the eye area also.

How to Use

Apply around your eyes once or twice daily.  It's fine to apply a moisturizer over or under this - just wait 5-10 minutes in between.

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.

Size: 1.0 FL. OZ. (30 ML)

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Great product for busy women because it has most of what you need in one product - a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy.  It's also gentle enough that most can use it without irritation.  Easy texture to apply and use at night due to the retinol.

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.

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.

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.

Who It's For

Great for normal or dry skin, but can be used by anyone who wants their skin to look smoother and more glowing. Not for acne prone skin though.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

I wish they would re-name this product, because it's a great moisturizer, not really a repair cream. It has one wonderful property in particular - the best light diffusers of any moisturizers I've seen! It makes your skin look like you just actually got 8 hours of sleep or are at a candlelit dinner. There's a slight golden glow with reflectors that makes skin look wonderful. Worth a try especially if your skin tends to be dull or you're not getting enough sleep (sleep is better).

The jar for this is beautiful, very sculptural almost like a fine perfume, so it makes a nice gift.

Note: we've had a couple users return this product because the jar did not look full.  So don't be surprised if the jar looks only 2/3 full - it comes that way and contains the full 1.7 ounces. 

How to Use

Apply to the face and neck in the morning and at night after cleansing

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.

Size: 8.4 fl oz

Who It's For

Normal to slightly dry.  This lotion is ideal for skin types, except the very dryest.  Good for sensitive skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Organic. I love this product and use it almost every day. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without being too thick or sticky. A subtle, honeydew fragrance that lingers just long enough but doesn't compete with perfume.  The oils in it are effective but not greasy at all.   Why use organic?  Especially on the body (a lot of surface area), it's nice to avoid the extra chemicals even in great products.

How to Use

Rub all over dry, clean skin as often as desired to hydrate and renew.

Ingredients

Honeydew, Melon, Carrot Juice, Calendula Oil, Carrot Extract, Bioflavenoids, Natural Moisturizing Factor, Natural Cream Base Biocomplex (Vitamin A, Esther C, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid) Corn Germ (Zea Mays) Oil, Xanthan Gum, Glycerine, Glycine Derivative

Size: 1 fl oz

Who It's For

Oily, acne-prone skin that still needs hydration without any oil.  Good also if you are dryer but still acne prone.  Men generally like this product.  OR.....for very dry skin, as a layer under your moisturizer.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This product has three great uses:

1. Men and almost anyone with oily or acne prone skin, love this product. Its hyaluronic acid base adds hydration without any oil. Very light, and still hydrating. One of the best moisturizers on the market for oily skin, in my opinion.  Expensive but worth it.

2. As an layer under moisturizer, for very dry skin or skin that doesn't retain surface moisture very well - like the month or two after a laser procedure or peel.  Use it help retain moisture in the skin and put your moisturizer and sunscreen over it.

3. For sensitive skin  -  tends to be well tolerated since very few chemicals.

How to Use

One to three times a day.  Good for use with a Vitamin C serum (use the serum first, then this), and can be used under another moisturizer or sunscreen

Ingredients

Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pantothenic Acid, Pheonoxyethanol

Size 4 mL / 0.13 f.l oz.

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.

Active Ingredients
Zinc Oxide 6.6%

Key Ingredients
Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Flavor/Aroma, Limonene,

Size: 0.5 oz

Who It's For

Ideal for those with wrinkles and sun damage on the eyelids and around the eye area.  

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This product is great and supported by a study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology. It contains PSP which stimulates cell activity and growth. If you like science, it is a mixture of human growth factors, cytokines and interleukins.  PSP is similar to the TNS product (see antiaging in this shop) that so many people love.   Also contains a form of hyaluronic acid which hydrates and a yam extract which plumps the thin skin around the eyes.

How to Use

Apply morning and night to the eyelids down to the cheek margin and include the wrinkles ("crow's feet").

Size: 1.7 oz

Who It's For

Dryer skin types and those who are looking for deep hydration without stickiness.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Safflower seed oil, marine collagen (algae), and Vitamin E.  Feels rich but easy to blend into the skin.  Similar to La Mer in hydrating ability, but at a better price point. Not greasy, with a light, natural fragrance. Very moisturizing and good on irritated or sensitive skin.

How to Use

At least once or twice daily. Or at night with a lighter cream during the day.   Should last several months with daily use.  You don't need much.

Size: 0.42 oz (12 grams)

Who It's For

Anyone with spots or bruises (from cosmetic/laser they want to cover.  Available in two shades, light to medium, and tan to dark.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This the best invention since the iphone (jk). It contains 5 different shades of mineral cover-up that can be mixed to actually cover just about anything including a black tattoo. It covers acne, brown spots, anything red, and bruises!  Put all your regular products on first including makeup if used, then apply.  It works on skin types 1-4. Our patients and staff thought the darker palette for types 5, 6 was too orangey so we don't carry it.

How to Use

Put all of your products and normal makeup on first.  Then use the little brush to spot treat the trouble spots. Sometimes you need to use several of the colors together to get the right blend and it's fine to do that!

Size:  1.7 oz

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.

Who It's For

Best for normal to combination skin to moisturize and protect from sun damage.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Light, sheer, daily SPF 40 (but not as light as the Clear) with 9% Zinc Oxide for good UVA and UVB protection. For the face, either alone or under makeup. Glides on easily and absorbs quickly into the skin. Hyaluronic acid to increase skin smoothness and softness and to decrease appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Paraben-free. Men like this product usually.

Who It's For

All but sensitive skin.  If you are sensitive, try this in a small amount for a few days on a test area.  

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

SkinCeuticals made its name originally by making the best antioxidants, and this one is no exception. 3 antioxidants in one, it contains L-ascorbic acid 10%, phloretin 2%, and ferulic acid 0.5%. My personal antioxidant under my sunscreen. The same high quality without the glass jars - love the new closed pump with its travel-friendly packaging. Oxidizes only minimally with time (turns slightly yellow).

How to Use

Apply after cleansing and under your moisturizer and/or sunscreen.

Ingredients

2% Phloretin, 10% L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), 0.5% Ferulic Acid

Size: 1.7 fl oz

Who It's For

Not for oily skin but most other skin types will do well with this. Works fairly well for darker skin types but some find it won't blend well.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Zinc 5%/titanium 6%.  Most who have tested this loved it. At least half my office uses it. Lightweight, with a slight universal tint so not too chalky. Water resistant, mineral block with zinc, paraben-free.  Goes well under makeup as a base.  The Neocutis tinted sunscreen is more matte.

How to Use

In the morning over your antioxidant and moisturizer.  Reapply if swimming, sweating, out a long time, etc.

Size: 1 fl. oz

Who It's For:

Normal to dryer skin types and a good choice for sensitive skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

As antioxidants go, I still think the higher quality SkinCeuticals products or the high quality Vitamin C serums are more effective.   But not everyone tolerates those or likes the serum formulation.  This is a good option for those who don't like the serums or gels or just need an antioxidant that's quite gentle.  Contains reservatrol and polyphenol (plant-based antioxidants) isolates.  Also, this is more affordable than the SkinCeuticals ones.

How to Use

Apply in the morning under sunscreen or at night under your Vit A cream.

Size: 2 oz

Who It's For

Those with dry or very dry skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Similar to La Mer but at half the price, this product is very moisturizing.  Stays on the skin longer than most.  In my own skin care product regimen especially in dryer climates or skiing.  Has a very subtle fragrance that most patients like.

The Replenish Hydrating Cream comes now in SkinMedica packaging (Allegan, the owner of Vivite, bought SkinMedica).  But it is the same product.

How to Use

Who It's For

All skin types but the most oily and acne prone.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

An excellent antioxidant with 90% polyphenol extracts of green tea.  The cream form is very good for those of you with more sensitive skin or those who just don't like the smell or feel of the Vitamin C serums or gels.  The base is light but moisturizing.  Contains calming plant extracts as well, cucumber and chamomile. 

How to Use

Once or twice a day.  Use your antioxidants directly on cleansed skin and put your other products over that. 

Ingredients

Purified water, glyceryl stearate (soy), behenyl alcohol, palmitic acid, caffeine UPS, stearic acid, lecithin, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, 90% polyphenol isolate of camellia sinensis leaf, sodium hyaluronate, bisabolol, cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, chamomilla recutita (chamomile) extract, triethanolamine, polysorbate 20, methylparaben, diazolidinyl urea, phenoxetol, tetrasodium EDT

Size: 1 fl. oz (30ml) 

Who It's For

Be cautious if you have sensitive skin.  Do not use if you are propylene glycol allergic.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Antioxidants (especially the well formulated Vit C products) have beneficial effects on skin.  This product is another version based on the natural antioxidants found in grapes and wine. Antioxidants help prevent the damage to skin cell DNA  from UVA & UVB.  They also help prevent brown spots.  This one is meant to be used at night while their Phloretin CF is recommended under sunscreen in the am.  

Bottom Line: If you love your morning antioxidant, and get good results, try this one for use at night also.   It's not a substitute for a retinoid though.  Try alternating nights.

How to Use

Using the Resveratrol and a retinoid on the same night may be too irritating. Try  alternating it with your retinoid.  It's wise to start any new product cautiously at first and watch for irritation.  Not for sensitive skin.

Ingredients

Aqua / Water / Eau, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Caffeine, Sodium Chloride, Peg/ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Tocopherol, Resveratrol, Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract / Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Disodium Edta

Size: 1 oz

Who It's For

For sun-damaged skin and for those wanting to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and aging.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

 This is SkinMedica's updated version of the old Tri-Retinol Complex, and it is still an excellent over-the-counter retinol.  At this percentage, the effects are similar to Renova/tretinoin, etc. Use at night. If you can use the prescription version of tretinoin (like Renova), do so - but many people don’t want to be bothered with a prescription and the two retinols listed on this site are almost as good. This retinol also has vitamin E in a base that will not clog pores and is still compatible with moisturizers and sunscreens. Also see the Neocutis Nouvelle+Retinol Correction Cream.  Start with this one though if you have never used a retinoid before.

Retinoids are repair creams that have 20 years of science and experience behind them. They build collagen and normalize sun damaged keratinocytes (skin cells) and help to prevent precancerous growths and skin cancers if used regularly. 

How to Use

Apply one pump to the face at night. Always use at night - light inactivates it. Begin using twice per week, then increase gradually.  If this product irritates your skin a little, try applying your moisturizer first, then wait 10-20 minutes, then apply this. You must use a sunscreen every morning if you use a retinoid because your skin will be just slightly more sun sensitive.  Stop this product a week before sunny vacations and consider not using it if you can't be consistent with sunscreen or truly are outdoors constantly.

Who It's For

Sensitive or irritated or post laser skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review 

For sensitive skin.   Also see the Pevonia Soothing Sensitive Skin Cream that goes with this.

Creamy and gentle, and removes makeup well for a gentle cleanser.  Contains safflower seed oil, horse chestnut seed extract and calendula extract.  The size is almost 7 ounces and lasts a long time.

How to Use

Once or twice a day

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Polysorbate 20, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Tilia Cordata Flower Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Tocopherol (Vit.

Size: 1 fl. oz

Who It's For

This will be too irritating for some.  Use the Replenix Cream CF or Power of Three antioxidants if you can't use or don't like the vitamin C antioxidants. Normal or oily skin and anyone looking for the antiaging properties of a good antioxidant.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Vitamin C 20%. Very high quality in that it uses L-ascorbic acid which penetrates cells well and has been proven to protect cells from UV damage to skin cell DNA, promote more even pigment, and help with fine lines.  Start with the Replenix Cream CF or the Replenix Power of Three though if you haven't used antioxidants before.

In Vitamin Cs the better quality products are serums or gels in a 10-20% concentration, contain L-ascorbic acid (not the Vitamin C esters), and are PH-ed to about 3.0. There are many expensive Vitamin Cs on the market that are not as good as this one here.  You should use this up in about 3-4 months.

How to Use

Use on cleansed skin in the morning under moisturizer and sunscreen.  It's fine to use these at night also if you are not using a retinoid then.  Using both at night is irritating for most people. 

Ingredients

Water, L-Ascorbic Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Zinc Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Ferulic Acid, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide

Size: 1.7 oz

Who It's For

Those with sensitive skin. Allergic problems with this product are rare. Not for acne.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

For sensitive skin. Hydrating and soothing. Much silkier than drugstore products. Good for those with product allergies. Has NO fragrance. Stlll try in one area first if you are extremely sensitive. We use this post-laser on most of our patients.

How to Use

At least twice a day.  More is even better if dry.

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Glucoside, Propolis Cera, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbitol, Titanium Dioxide, Panthenol, Glycerin, Bisabolol, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Dimethicone, Ceteareth-20, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol

Size: 0.21 oz

Who It's For

Everyone, nice for kids and men, and for double coverage over a lotion or cream sunscreen.  Especially key for those with melasma or other pigment problems.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Powder Sunscreen. This is a great invention.  I love this product, and use it all the time. The Medium shade is pretty clear and good for all sites.  The Tan shade is the tinted version and is nice for the face.  Especially great for outdoor sports because it can be reapplied without getting your hands greasy. It's also fast to apply due to the built-in brush applicator. Even better over a lotion sunscreen base.  I often use this product over a lotion/cream sunscreen base especially for athletics and high sun situations.

Good for golf, cycling, hiking, open-water swimming, rock climbing, long distance running, rowing, and many other situations where grease doesn't cut it. It's lightweight and small to carry. Men and kids like this product usually.

Great for a humid climate (or oily skin), because it goes on dry and leaves no oily, greasy sheen. Expensive but worth it, and it lasts a long time. Layer it over a sunscreen lotion for maximum protection at altitude or in intense sun. Men like this product usually.  Make sure to apply it in a well-ventilated area.

Use this SPF 50 for outdoor activities or occupations or if you want extra protection.  Use the SPF 30 version for everyday use.

How to Use

Apply this in a well-ventilated area, and do not breathe in the powder. Brush on skin that has some moisture or lotion on it (i.e., not on dry skin) before sun exposure, repeat application after perspiring, immersion in water or toweling.  It comes in a small tube, with a self-contained brush. You just shake the powder down, and brush on the powder. The powder stays on your skin, and the high zinc and titanium content gives you great UVA and UVB blocking.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (22.5%), Zinc Oxide (22.5%) Inactive Ingredients: bismuth oxychloride, calcium, cilicate, corallina officinalis, dimethicone, dimethicone/vinyldimethicone crosspolymer, iron oxide, manganese, violet, mica, titanium dioxide

Size: 1.7 oz

Who It's For

Normal to Dry Skin

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

For normal to dry skin. Medium weight with plant based stem cell extract. The plant based stem cells are meant to stimulate our own dermal stem cells. Stem cells have shown promise in laboratory tests and are being added to many products.  I see this as a product for those who are advanced skin care users who want to try maximize even a little more.   I love Pevonia's more natural creams that are free of harmful chemicals and conform to the EU standards.

How to Use

Once or twice a day.  Use it for at least 3 months to see if you see a difference.

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Collagen, Squalane, Glycerin, Cetearyl Glucoside, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Argania Spinosa Callus Culture Extract and Isomalt and Lecithin and Sodium Benzoate and Water, Symphytum Officinale Callus Culture Extract and Isomalt and Lecithin and Sodium Benzoate and Water, Royal Jelly Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vit.

Size: 1.7 oz

Who It's For

Normal to dry skin

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

For normal to dry skin.  Great under makeup. Caviar extract contains 40 minerals and vitamins.  I honestly have no idea which of those 40 minerals and vitamins are really the "actives," but I have to say this product performs well. They also make a caviar serum that we don't carry yet, that can be used under the cream.  Has a light, unisex fragrance that doesn't compete with after shave or perfume. Moisturizing but a slightly lighter formulation than the Marine Collagen Cream.

How to Use

Once or twice daily

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Squalane, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Caviar Extract, Cetearyl Glucoside, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract, Dextrin, Algae Oligosaccharides, Sorbitol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Thioctic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate (Vit.

Size: 1.7 fl. oz

Who It's For

Best for normal to combination skin to moisturize and protect from sun damage.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Great daily sunscreen, especially if you have a more indoor lifestyle.  And it is more affordable than my other daily favorite, the DermaQuest ZinClear.  Zinclear has 18% zinc though versus 9.0% for this one. Also see the Image tinted and clear sunscreen. It's lightly tinted and lightly moisturizing, but isn't oily. Goes on sheer with just a hint of color and make-up goes well over it. Has 9% zinc oxide. A little hyaluronic acid in it improves skin texture. Paraben free. Men usually like this product. 

The tinted version just adds a bit of color, which is great for summer and fall.

How to Use

Use daily on face, neck, chest and hands, 30 minutes before sun exposure.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients: 9.0% Zinc Oxide, 7.5% Octinoxate.

Size: 0.63 oz

Who It's For

Sun-damaged or aging skin, especially for the time pressured.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Contains Cell Growth Factors - this was the original cell growth factor product by SkinMedica.  Still a good product.   This is a product with less science behind it than the retinoids and high quality antioxidants so make sure you're using those first and then add this as a third anti-aging product.  My recommendation is to use your antioxidant as a first layer in the morning, followed by moisturizer and/or sunscreen.  Use this as a first layer at night followed by moisturizer then Renova/Retin A/tretinoin.

The more expensive version just prior has added antioxidants and peptides. 

How to Use

Use it under your sunscreen in the morning or at night or both.  After cleansing both morning and night, massage gently over entire face.

Who It's For

A moisturizer for anyone with dry and dehydrated skin. 

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This new product from SkinCeuticals is great and deserves it's popularity.  Very nourishing while not greasy, it has natural cholesterol, natural fats found in skin (ceramides), and sunflower seed oil.  Not too scented with just a faint, soothing lavender hint.

How to Use

At least twice a day for those truly dry.

Size: 5 fl oz.

Who It's For

All skin types except the oiliest and acne prone. 

Dr. Irwin's Review: Organic. Zinc 5%. Very similar to the cream with the same name but a better value. You could easily use this on your face, it’s just a little less hydrating than the cream. It doesn't seem to stain clothing and contains zinc 5% which blocks UV through the full spectrum.  It's in a larger size which makes it more cost effective on the body. 

How to Use

Apply liberally all over skin about 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and every 2-3 hours thereafter. Reapply after swimming or sweating

Size: 2 fl. oz

Who It's For

Great for dry to normal skin.  Too chalky for the darkest skin types or oily skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Organic. Great product on the the neck and chest because it's very hydrating (remember very few oil glands on the neck especially), doesn't stain clothing and contains zinc 5% which blocks UV through the full spectrum.  Subtle fragrance and a little chalky at first but absorbs well after a few minutes.

How to Use

Apply a generous amount to facial skin about 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. Massage until product is fully absorbed and reapply as necessary after excessive sweating or swimming.

Size: 1.7 fl. oz

Who It's For

Best for oily and acne prone skin.  Men tend to like this product because it's light and nongreasy. 

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

9% zinc oxide for true broad-spectrum protection. Another great sunscreen from Elta.  Niacinamide to calm and protect sensitive, acne-prone skin. Oil-free, good for sensitive skin. Paraben-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic.

How to Use

Apply to face, neck, and hands 30 minutes before sun exposure. Use daily.

Size: 7 fl. oz

Who It's For

Great for those times when you want a pump and a bigger size to do larger areas. The facial sunscreens are too expensive to use all over.  Not for areas with acne or oily skin.  Rubs in easily.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This is a fabulous product at a good price.  It's the highest quality sunscreen (7.5% zinc) that comes in a larger, pump size, that I've found anyway.  Comes in a 7 oz pump and can be used for face or body. Contains zinc 7% (blocks full spectrum UVA) plus a common UVB blocker. Paraben free.  Not too chalky.

How to Use

Use daily on face, neck, chest and hands, 30 minutes before sun exposure.

Who It's For

Especially good for those with sensitive skin.  Not great for those with acne and a lot of oil.  Water resistant.

Lightly tinted. This is a sunblock that is free of chemical sunscreen actives, with natural mineral UV Protection SPF 41 with 9% Zinc Oxide and 7% Titanium Dioxide for true broad spectrum protection. Oil-free, paraben-free and fragrance free. Ideal for very sensitive skin and children. Absorbs quickly. Can be a little chalky when first applied.

Highly water- and sweat-resistant SPF 50 with 9% Zinc Oxide. Will not sting when sweating or drip into eyes and will not rinse off in water. Great sport or water sunblock.

Size: 2 fl. oz

Who It's For

Great daily sunscreen (not for sports, water etc.) for those who want the extra zinc especially for melasma or other pigment problem.  Works well for all but the darkest skin types - could be a little chalky here but you can put makeup over it. 

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Still one of my favorites. Note that this is now called SheerZinc.  New name, but the same excellent product.  No other sunscreen has 18% zinc and goes on this well that I’ve ever seen. This is the tinted version which some like better because it gives a bit of sunkissed look.

Note that we carry the tinted version called "Nude," which has the least amount of dark tint.  If you want a darker shade, you can order "Tan" or "Sunkissed" through another site.  We do carry the non-tinted version also here on SkinTour.

Great for melasma and anyone with pigment problems due to the 18% zinc. This is a physical (mineral) sunscreen, meaning that it contains no sunscreen chemicals. Excellent also for sensitive skin. Expensive, but worth it for the extra protection.

How to Use

Apply sunblock in the AM to fingertips and gently massage into the skin. Reapply as needed.
