Here at Dr Skincare, you know we’re serious about what we use on our skin, but more importantly, we only promote and discuss skin care products created by doctors and dermatologists. As we always say, we don’t believe in skin care gimmicks, and neither should you! When qualified dermatologists create their own products, you can be rest assured that the quality of product research, ingredients, and formulas will be second-to-none. That’s why we thought we would let you in on Dr Skincare’s Four Staple Dermatologist Skin Care Products that we could not live without!
1. Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub (3.5 Fl Oz/ 100 ml)
The Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub is a dermatologist-developed skin care product that is often referred to as the ‘hero’ product by the brand itself. Why is number one in our list of staple dermatologist skin care products? For many reasons! Dr Goldfaden has dedicated more than 40 years of his life to research-driven innovation and holistic solutions in skin care, this eventually led to the launch of his, Lisa, and Lauren Goldfaden’s natural skin care brand, Goldfaden MD.
The Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub is the epitome of dermatologist skin care products as the formula was curated by Dr Gary Goldfaden himself through his experimenting with the mixing and matching of ingredients he had sequestered across the globe, from the desserts to the sea. But the star ingredient of this product is quite literally perfectly rounded ruby crystals which facilitate the microderm exfoliator. The ruby crystals work towards diminishing dead skill cells without being harsh or irritative to the skin (the reason for the crystals being rounded). The doctor’s scrub also features hyaluronic acid, seaweed and organic red-tea extract to enhance the skin’s hydration and luminosity.
We love this product because it works well for both men and women and all skin types, so anyone can get on board with it. The Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub is also 100% safe for those who are pregnant or nursing! Dr Skincare LOVES an inclusive product. And then there’s the fact that all Goldfaden MD products are all free from silicones, petrochemicals, gluten, mineral oil, parabens and alcohol; harmful, irritative ingredients that Goldfaden MD does not expose your skin to. Not only that, the packaging is 100% recyclable, and made with 60-70% recycled materials. This is a brand doing the most for people and the planet, so when purchasing the Doctor’s Scrub, you are protecting your skin and the planet.
2. Dr Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum (30ml)
Second on our list of our staple dermatologist skin care products is Dr Barbara Sturm’s Molecular Cosmetics Hyaluronic Serum. This product is absolutely packed with long-chain and short-chain hyaluronic molecules. Long-chain hyaluronic molecules work to plump and supplement the skin, whereas the short-chain hyaluronic molecules penetrate down into the dermis (the middle layer of your skin) to draw moisture and ultimately enhance the softness, smoothness and overall complexion of the skin.
Dr Sturm’s key botanical ingredient Purslane is used within the serum’s formula to enhance the anti-aging, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities of the serum. Alongside the powerful long-chain and short-chain hyaluronic molecules, the serum works instantly to refresh and rehydrate the skin, whilst physically reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s no wonder it’s the brand’s best selling product. And don’t just take our word for that, believe all the A-List celebrities who can’t get enough of it either! Read more about which celebrities are loving the brand in our Dr Barbara Sturm introductory post.
Again, this product is gender neutral, working well on both men and women, and is completely safe for those who are pregnant or nursing. We love equality in all things in life, even our skin care! The price range for this product is expensive, we can’t and won’t deny this, however, Dr Barbara Sturm’s products are known to reap results. Often in the skin care industry, you get what you pay for and this is why this product is more on the luxury skin care end of the spectrum. If you’re ready to invest in the best for your skin and revolutionise your skin care routine, then this product is the one for you.
3. Murad Rapid Relief Spot Treatment (15ml)
You know this is one of our all-time favourite dermatologist skin care products, because we’ve already written a full review on it over on the blog… But we just had to put it on here anyway. Dr Howard Murad MD is the dermatologist behind the Murad brand, a pioneer of doctor and dermatologically-developed skin care brands, after-all he was the first! But we couldn’t have made this blog post without paying homage to our favourite spot treatment on the market: the Murad Rapid Relief Spot Treatment.
Not only is this product effective, it lasts for ages as you only need a really small amount of the product to go a long way. A fast-acting cocktail of salicylic acid, pine and thyme extracts work quickly and efficiently to battle breakout bacteria and impurities on the skin. So, it’s really perfect for when that unexpected pimple shows up on the night before that big event you’ve had planned since before the start of the pandemic, annoying we know! But don’t panic, reach for this product, apply it to the pimple and within 24 hours, redness and irritation around the spot has been visibly reduced. Not only that, this product is extremely affordable and it won’t break the bank when you need to replace it because you’ve fallen in love with it, just like us! As we said, read more on why Dr Skincare adores and approves this product in our full product review.
4. 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask (8 x 6ml)
And last, but by no means least, on our list of staple dermatologist skin care products is the 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Masks. Developed by Harley Street’s finest Dr Yannis and wife Eva Alexandrides, the 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Masks are perfect for under-eye care, an area we often neglect but should not as it is such a delicate area and requires the right amount of care and consideration.
The masks can be used after cleansing and toning the face by removing the hydro-gel eye mask from the protective films on both sides and applying the sheet under each eye. The treatment should be left under the eyes for 20 minutes for optimal results. Retinol, niacinamide, argireline, rosehip extract and hyaluronic acid work together to retexturize, illuminate and plump the skin around the eye area. Additionally, the sheet masks help to enhance the appearance of dark circles, discolouration, and fine lines. Another inclusive product, which can be used by both women and men as part of their skin care routine. It should be noted that as this product contains retinol, it is not safe for use during pregnancy, but is safe for use when nursing.
If you are trusting anyone with masks for the extremely delicate and problematic under-eye area, it has got to be Dr Yannis, the American and European board-certified plastic surgeon who you can read more about here.
So there you have it, four staple dermatologist skin care products that Dr Skincare could not live without. You can shop all of these products listed in this post via Amazon today, so don’t delay! Revolutionise your skin care routine today…
