Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

What about a good regimen for beginning a fight back of fine lines and maintenence before the wrinkles really do set in?.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Great question - it is always easier to prevent or slow down than to reverse.

 

Consider applying Kakadu C Serum and Eye Soulffle each morning followed by DD Cream.

 

At night, try Wrinkle Revenge Face Cream and Eye Balm. 

These products are compliment each other in an anti-aging regimen.

 

Wrinkle Revenge Cleanser 1 is an ideal cleanser for you and if you want to boost your routine, you can add in either Poetry in Lotion or Physical Chemistry every other night. When using Poetry in Lotion, use solo and apply the Wrinkle Revenge products on the off nights.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Help. My face is always red. My neck is one color and my face looks raw! It even comes right through my CC cream. What could be causing this? I do seem to be allergic to phenoxethanol (preservative in many beautiful products) because anything with it in it burns my face. So I avoid all products with it. I wash my face with tea tree oil wash (Trader Joes) and moisturize with Vitamin E oil. It's the only oil I found that doesn't break me out so far. Overall my skin is clear, just red! 😭

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I wish I could diagnose via the internet but unfortunately I can't. If you suspect an allergic reaction, my suggestion is you consult in person with a dermatologist about having patch testing done to help identify any offending ingredient which you can then avoid.

 

To help reduce the appearance of the redness and soothe the skin, you may want to try Wrinkle Revenge Hyaluronic Serum followed by Calm Cool & Corrected.  Sometimes Tea Tree Oil and Vitamin E can be irritating. Consider giving them a vacation for now and see what happens when you reintroduce one at a time.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Hi! My question is about hyperpigmentation and how to get rid of it. I've been thinking about getting a concentrated vitamin C serum to lighten the spots. What should I do/ use to get rid of them? Thank you in advance!

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I agree with your thoughts to try a vitamin C Serum.

 

Here's what I would recommend to help with evening out the skin tone:

 

Apply Kakadu C Serum every morning and then spot treat with Photodynamic Therapy Spot Eraser.  Apply DD Cream all over.

 

 

At night, you want to step up exfoliation. Consider alternating Physical Chemistry every other night with Poetry in Lotion.  On the nights you use Physical Chemistry, again apply the Photodynamic Therapy Spot Eraser to the dark spots after you've washed off the PC.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I would love some advice on skincare!  I'm a bit stumped because I'm super dry right now, but... I still get breakouts.  Heavy moisturizers cause whiteheads and lighter moisturizers leave me feeling like my face is going to crack.  (And I'm concerned about the line on my forehead getting deeper!)

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Dryness, breakouts and anti-aging concerns rolled up into one is such a common problem!

 

Here's my suggestion:

Cleanse with Wrinkle Revenge Cleanser 1. It will help with your anti-aging needs and help remove pore plugging debris.

 

Apply Wrinkle Revenge Serum followed by Kakadu C Serum and Kakadu C Eye Souffle every morning.  If you need more moisture during the winter, apply Calm Cool & Corrected.

 

At night following cleanser, apply Wrinkle Revenge Serum, Wrinkle Revenge Eye Balm and either Wrinkle Revenge Face Cream or Calm Cool & Corrected.

Hi Dr. Audrey Kunin,

 

What products would you recommend from your line to deal with hyper-pigmentation left behind from cystic acne that I've had for years?

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I am going to assume your acne is under control - if not, it needs to be so you don't continue on with an endless cycle of blemishes followed by new dark spots.

 

 

You may want to try applying Kakadu C Serum every morning to the entire face (avoid the eyes) and follow it w Photodynamic Therapy Spot Eraser applied to the individual dark spots.

 

Every other night, try alternating Poetry in Lotion with Physical Chemistry. This helps speed up the exfoliation process. On the Physical Chemistry nights, once you have washed it off, then spot treat with Photodynamic Therapy Spot Eraser.

 

Don't forget to wear your broad spectrum SPF 30 every day!  The sun tries to darken the dark spots while you are trying to lighten them.   You may want to try our DD Cream.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I have these bumps on my arms and upper thighs. they look like tiny pimples. They don't itch or anything but they are all over. I have had them since i was a teenager. Recently they started coming out on my lower arms by my elbow. If you squeeze them little white stuff comes out (sorry tmi). what are they? and how can i get rid of them?

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

While I cannot make a diagnosis via the internet, I  suspect you may have keratosis pilaris. This problem affects 50% of the entire world. It is entirely controllable.  You may want to try using KP Duty Body Scrub daily and KP Duty Lotion twice daily until the bumps and any associated skin discoloration improve.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

okay, thank you. I thought it might be that. thanks for the tips.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Hi, Dr. Kunin. If I wanted to add Vitamin C to my beauty regimen, in what order what it go?

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Following cleansing, I would recommend you apply the Kakadu C Serum after any hyaluronic serum and before any cream, spf or make-up.  You may love our dynamic duo, Wrinkle Revenge Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum as your HA choice prior to applying Kakadu C Serum.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I LOVE the Kakadu mask! Great job! 

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Thanks so very much!  It's one of my personal favorites!

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Hello, s it okay that I just wash my face with water sometimes and sometimes wash it with dr.bronners castille soap. I also moisturize my face with organic coconut oil. Do you think that is fine? I've also noticed that my forehead flakes and it looks like I have dandruff on my face without the itchiniess. How do I get rid of this? I am all about using natural procedures! 

 

 

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

Hi Dr. Kunin, 

 

I was wondering what kind of moisturizer and overall skin routine you would recommend for me. I have combination/dry skin. It get's oily in the T zone but the cheeks get dry and I've been prone to breakout as well even though there is dryness on the cheeks.

 

I used clinique's super-defense moisturizer but I found that made me break out. I also think I need a toner. I would like a moisturizer that has SPF in it if possible.

 

Thank you!

 

 

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

You know what's great about the DERMAdoctor line?  Our products work for all skin types!  That's because our technology mattifies oily areas while leaving the dry areas alone and hydrate the dry areas without plugging pores or exacerbating oiliness.

 

This time of year, I would recommend layering Wrinkle Revenge Ultimate Hyaluronic Serum with Calm Cool & Corrected.  Really helps quench parched, red, irritated skin yet doesn't feel heavy or greasy.

Re: Live Chat with Kate Somerville and DERMAdoctor!

I have sebaceous hyperplasia (clogged oil glands) and as you know they are permanent bumps on my skin! Very frustrating. My derm has told me there is no way to get rid of them. The medispa recommended Pixel laser to minimize the appearance. What would you recommend? I mean, what do celebrities do with these??
