“The number-one skin-care rule I live by is to wear sunscreen every single day, even when it’s cloudy or rainy—no exceptions! There’s truly no point in using powerful actives like retinol if you’re not also protecting your skin from the sun. UV damage is the leading cause of everything we’re trying to treat with skin care: fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots, loss of elasticity—all of it! So much of it is preventable with daily sunscreen and staying out of the sun as much as possible.
At night, I always recommend Retinol Reform 1% with Encapsulated Retinol ($75). It’s my most potent—yet still gentle—formula yet. It’s clinically proven to improve the look of fine lines, uneven tone and rough texture. It works really well to help repair signs of sun damage and aging, but again, it’s only truly effective if you’re protecting your skin during the day. Skin care is about consistency, but also about balance. Repair at night, protect during the day!”
