<\/p>\nAfter months of social distancing, ongoing mask wearing and often, days without setting eyes on another soul in-person has resulted in a slightly sketchy skincare routine. (Did we cleanse, smooth on lotion or none of the above…? It\u2019s all a big blur). So we\u2019re creating a new routine with actual skincare goals: to revitalize, refresh and reset our skin with Rodan + Fields three-step REDEFINE skincare line. Because when the world finally uprights itself, we want to reenter it looking at least five years younger.<\/p>\n
This means visibly fewer fine lines and wrinkles, tighter pores, plumper and firmer skin and an even-looking skin tone to boot. No small feat. But after one week of consistently using the REDEFINE line, we\u2019re seeing improvements, especially in our skin\u2019s ability to retain moisture courtesy of our favourite product of the pack, the super-hydrating Overnight Restorative Cream.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt delivers the best hydration throughout the night,\u201d affirms Dr. Kathy Fields, a dermatologist in San Francisco and co-founder of the Rodan + Fields brand. \u201cThe nighttime is when we get to really dose our skin, because it won\u2019t be rubbed off with the day\u2019s wear and tear. So Overnight Restorative Cream gives us an important opportunity to do some heavy lifting to improve the quality of skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Loaded with glycolic acid and backuchiol, a natural and plant-derived alternative to retinol, our sensitive skin not only remains calm it is simultaneously exfoliated and infused with the cream\u2019s moisture. Plus, our luminous glow doesn\u2019t swirl down the drain once we\u2019ve had our morning shower either.<\/p>\n
Now, as we\u2019re entering our second week with our regime, we\u2019re starting to see the collagen and keratin-boosting benefits of the cream\u2019s inclusion of vitamin B3 and peptides as well. The collagen and keratin in our skin\u2014you know, the proteins that give our face it\u2019s stretchy newborn baby-like suppleness and protective barrier against the environment that, sadly, break down as we age\u2014have been kicked into action. As a result, our face is beginning to look and feel smoother, plumper and firmer. The deep lines beneath our eyes are still there, but the crow\u2019s feet that jump to life every time we smile are visibly fading and despite two late nights and three early mornings, we look more rested. So much so, that the aesthetician who has been dying our eyebrows for the last four years complimented us (without any prodding!) on our skin\u2019s refreshed-looking appearance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe results are three times better and two times faster when it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,\u201d says Dr. Katie Rodan,who, liker her counterpart, is a San Francisco-based dermatologist and Rodan + Fields co-founder.\u201cWe\u2019ve also added benefits of visible sculpting and firming. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to be the right quantity and quality to enhance the impact of all the ingredients within the formula.\u201d<\/p>\n
Particularly when the facial products are used in a thoughtful and systematic order.<\/p>\n
The REDEFINE line observes a numbered, three-step regime with two types of cleansers (step 1), one toner (step 2) and four daytime and nighttime lotions and creams to choose from (step 3), along with a Multi-Function Eye Cream. Each product\u2019s specific blend of ingredients aligns with and is used in conjunction with each other on a twice-daily basis and is the line\u2019s recipe for success.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur formulas are like recipes,\u201d explains Dr. Fields. \u201cYou can use the vanilla from Madagascar or cheap synthetic vanilla. The taste will definitely not be as good. Think of ingredients in skincare formula in the same way. The quality of the ingredients matters and how they are mixed together makes huge differences in the ultimate performance of that formula.\u201d<\/p>\n
Based on how our skin has benefit from the line so far, we\u2019re looking forward to what weeks three, four, five, six, seven and eight will bring. In a recent clinical study, 94 per cent of participants using the Rodan + Field\u2019s three-step line showed supple, softer and smoother skin after just eight weeks. Fingers crossed, because we want to be a part of that 94 per cent. Remember, we\u2019ve got goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cA regimen-based approach is the best way of solving skin issues,\u201d assures Dr. Rodan. \u201cEvery step counts and treats [aging] most effectively. It\u2019s holistic and allows our products to give people the best skin of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
