I can’t tell you how many times someone’s asked me what my “skin care” regimen is. I laugh (on the inside of course) and say that my “regimen” consists of soap and water. Period. Most days I don’t even have enough time to wear makeup, so a splash before bed suffices. While I have been blessed with really great skin, I am starting to notice changes including some annoying lines on my forehead! Gasp!
SkinCareRx is a site where you’ll find the type of skin care products your dermatologist would recommend or those that you would see at a professional spa. Each product line is evaluated by the company’s estheticians and staff for effectiveness. I was given the opportunity to choose a product to test out, so I selected La Roche-Posay’s Active C Anti Wrinkle Dermatological Treatment. I started using it two weeks ago, specifically on my forehead where the lines that show how wise I am have formed! Take a look at this cheesy picture I took of myself the other day after using this product for 2 weeks:
Ok…so I’m not the best photographer, particularly when I’m shooting myself, but this is me without makeup. If you look closely, you will be able to see very, very faint lines. I have seen some improvement but they’re not completely gone. I am hoping that long-term use will diminish the appearance, or at least prevent the lines from getting worse. I think the best part of using this product is that my skin is so smooth! Once you apply it, you won’t even notice it’s on your skin because it rubs in without leaving behind any greasy residue (like some products). It is also odorless. If you decide to purchase this product, be sure you cover the product tightly after you use it. When exposed to light, it turns a darker color (I noticed this around the rim of the tube).
Active stable vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), has been proven to work immediately on the skin. It has been shown to reduce the signs of aging, smooth skin texture, and improve skin radiance. Here is some specific information about this product from the site:
La Roche-Posay Active C – Normal to Combination Skin moisturizes your skin as it protects and heals damage. It contains a special formula that binds water to polyols in order to stop the Vitamin C from oxidizing. These polyols promote Vitamin C’s penetration of the skin by retaining water molecules within their chemical structure, so that they will not contribute to Vitamin C oxidation.
The entire site is well-organized. If you have a specific skin condition that you’d like to treat, you can search the site by that condition. For example, I have battle scars stretch marks on my tummy from my pregnancy that I would love to mysteriously disappear. So I did a search on the site and found the Phytomer SeaTonic Stretch Mark Reducing Cream, which I think I might have to try with the gift certificate the company gave me.
I don’t buy skin care products very often, but when I do, I try to purchase products that will produce the results I need. I would much rather spend a little more money for a high-quality product that is going to benefit me in the long run, then a cheaper product that isn’t going to work.

This looks like a wonderful product! I hate those annoying lines around my eyes…I’ll have to look into this – thanks!
My skin care routine is a splash of soap and water too…usually in the shower! Like you, I’ve been blessed with a clear complexion that requires little maintenance. Also like you, I have noticed little wrinkles starting to surface” around my eyes and mouth (“smile” wrinkles, I think…). 😉
