Anti-Aging Skincare Specialist - Helping people achieve healthy, youthful-looking skin through safe & effective skincare
You control 80% of your skin’s destiny. Genetics are only responsible for 20% of how your skin will age. And that’s great news! The choices you make today will affect the way you look and feel tomorrow, next year and well into the future. Great skincare can make a difference in your life. With the right skincare, your skin can visibly improve with age so you can look even better tomorrow than you do today.
According to leading expert dermatologist Dr. Katie Rodan, “Most doctors underutilize OTC medications, but they have tremendous value if used correctly.” To see real changes in your skin’s appearance, you need to use the right concentration of clinically active ingredients in the right formulations and in the right order. At Rodan + Fields, the product development strategy is to combine active OTC and cosmetic ingredients to create safe and effective formulations…also known as the multi-med therapy philosophy.
The goal is to help you achieve a visible improvement in your complexion. Because both safety and efficacy are top priorities, all the products undergo testing. From Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields decades as practicing dermatologists, they have learned what works and what doesn’t work on people’s skin. They have witnessed the powerful effect on self-esteem that comes from achieving great looking skin.
Rodan + Fields offers four main skincare lines to address all ethnicities, skin types, issues and concerns for both men and women. From fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage, sensitive skin and acne, the right regimen and products are available for you. Descriptions and regimen-specific details are listed below.
REDEFINE
We all pretty much want young-looking, radiant, glowing skin, no matter what our age. When you look at your skin, if some of the first things you notice are lines around your eyes or mouth, forehead wrinkles, enlarged pores and loss of skin firmness, then the REDEFINE regimen is going to be the regimen for you. In recent skincare industry news, REDEFINE was named the #1 premium anti-aging brand in the U.S.
Physiological changes (the natural aging process), environmental factors (especially sun exposure) and detrimental lifestyle choices (like smoking and excessive drinking) all contribute to skin’s loss of supportive fibers as we age. With a reduction of collagen and elastin, we see sagging skin, more fine lines, wrinkles and noticeably enlarged pores. Thankfully, healthy diet and lifestyle choices along with using the right skincare regimen can help maintain skin’s youthful appearance and defend against the effects of time and the environment.

REVERSE
It’s estimated that around 80% of skin’s aged appearance is caused by the sun, not the passage of time. For anyone experiencing the appearance of premature aging, including brown spots, dullness, discoloration, melasma, loss of radiance, age spots and/or fine lines, REVERSE is most often the first step to creating a clean, bright canvas for your skin. It's clinically proven to help visibly even skin tone to reveal your most radiant and natural complexion. It's safe for use on all skin tones. It helps to restore the appearance of a bright, even complexion by clearing away dulling dead skin cells, supporting vibrant skin renewal and protecting fresh new cells from aging UV radiation and other effects of the environment.
SOOTHE
Do you have dry, irritated or sensitive skin? According to the British Journal of Dermatology, it is estimated that over 70% of people experience sensitive skin to some degree. There are two main reasons why - many have a genetic predisposition for sensitive skin while others acquire it from repeated exposure to environmental or lifestyle triggers such as climate change, sun exposure, friction or rubbing and cosmetic intolerance syndrome. This makes them more susceptible to skin issues that include dryness, chapping, cracks and redness as well as stinging and itching.
A great way to calm the flush-blush reaction of a hyper-sensitive complexion is through using SOOTHE and its patented peptide technology. SOOTHE was featured at the American Academy of Dermatology. It’s clinically proven to reduce redness and shield against the biological and environmental aggressors that can trigger inflammation. It helps fortify skin’s natural moisture barrier, calms visible redness, dryness and reduces irritation. It’s also great for children too.

UNBLEMISH
Considering the fact that Drs. Rodan and Fields got their start by creating Proactiv, it's only fitting that they would have an acne treatment regimen – UNBLEMISH - in their laboratory of skincare greatness. With triggers such as genetics, stress and hormones, acne is the most frequently diagnosed condition by dermatologists and affects nearly 85% of people at some point in their lives. Acne is not just a teenage concern; in fact, it affects approximately 30-40% of adult women. Whatever your age, the psychological impact can be significant. People with acne suffer from embarrassment, frustration and low self-esteem. Fortunately, while not curable, acne is treatable and controllable.
In recent skincare industry news, UNBLEMISH was named the #1 premium acne brand in the U.S. It offers a continuous solution that addresses the acne cycle—clogged pores, trapped oil, bacterial attack and inflammation. Clinically proven to combat the entire acne cycle, this sophisticated regimen helps unclog pores, clears acne blemishes and calm your complexion to keep pimples, blackheads and post-acne marks from making an unwelcome appearance on your face.

Rodan + Fields also offers a variety of other products such as mineral peptide face powder, microdermabrasion paste, foaming sunless tan, daily body moisturizer, a Beyond the Shave kit for men as well as other products.
