Ingredients of the Month

Peptides

Collagen and elastin, our skin’s structural proteins, are the foundation of the contours, fullness and smoothness that give our skin a healthy, youthful appearance. Our skin creates these proteins in abundance when we’re young, but beginning in our mid-twenties, production of these proteins decreases dramatically.

Your best bet to maintain healthy-looking skin is to counteract this production decrease by applying skincare with peptides which will stimulate natural production of collagen and elastin. When applied regularly to the face or hands, topical products containing peptides can help your skin look and feel fuller, stronger and smoother.

Find palmitoyl Oligopeptide to help to visibly restore volume, support resiliency and smooth and firm the appearance of crepey skin in Rodan + Fields® ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30.

 

Ascorbic Acid

When it comes to keeping us healthy inside and out, vitamin C is a real multitasker. Taken orally,  it can prevent and treat the common cold. Topically, vitamin C (the pure version is called ascorbic acid) has proven skin-brightening and firming benefits, but delivering its full benefits to skin is challenging. So it’s anything but common to find ascorbic acid formulated for maximum benefit. So to get the most of this powerful anti-aging ingredient look for anhydrous (without water) formulations that maintain ascorbic acid’s stability and allow it to release its potency only upon application.

Find the skin-brightening and firming benefits of pure ascorbic acid in Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30.
