Kinerase vs Prevage, Vivite, IS clinical, Skinceuticals

Hi Dr. Rivkin - thank you for the information on skin cells in skin care - you did just save me some $$$'s!!

Do you recommend a skin care line that is more advanced targeting fine
lines, texture of the skin and overall clarity? I have been using Kinerase
products - they are fine but nothing amazing!!

Thanks again - Laura


hi laura,
yeah, i agree - kinerase is nothing amazing, but pretty good.
we carry a few lines - i pick and choose products between lines.
i like IS clinical and skinceuticals for their antioxidants and serums and cleansers. i like prevage for antioxidant and fine lines. some of the prevonia line is good and the vivite eye creams are good. we also carry revitalash and it works like a charm - my staff all have bushes growing out of their eyelids!
the products i like are the physician exclusive lines - the over the counter stuff doesn't really do much.
my position on products is always to keep it simple. using something once in a while doesn't really help - its repetitive use that works. so, get a good cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, antioxidant and eye product and you should be ok if you use them regularly. also retin-a at night. that helps treat sun damage and aging. you can use micro every day or every other day, depending on whether it irritates your skin.
