A couple months back my amazing friend Allison offered to send me Rodan + Fields products to test out. I immediately said yes - I had heard about their products for a while now, but had never had the opportunity to try them.
First she had me complete a survey to determine which regimen was right for me. My results were between Unblemish, the regimen for acne prone skin, and Soothe. Allison had Soothe on hand, so we decided to go with that! Once I received the regimen I couldn't wait to start using it and see results.
The first week was a little rough. Because I was new to Rodan + Fields my skin broke out A LOT at first. I was a little nervous about this, so I asked Allison and she told me that it's absolutely normal for your skin to react this way when beginning to use the products. I stuck with it, and a few days later, my skin was clear and I began seeing results.
The Soothe regimen is great for those with sensitive skin. I've always had issues with breakouts and redness, and while this regimen didn't completely prevent breakouts, it did make my skin incredibly smooth and got rid of all redness I usually experience. I've noticed that even when I'm experiencing breakouts they're a lot less noticeable and painful since switching to the Soothe regimen. I've also noticed that it has drastically decreased the amount of time any breakouts last, which is amazing for me!
First is the Gentle Cream Wash, which I use along with my Clarisonic. It makes my skin feel extremely clean, and isn't too harsh. I have noticed that sometimes my skin feels a little warm after using this cream wash - not after every use, but occasionally. This sensation doesn't last long though, and generally goes away immediately after using Steps 2 & 3. (Also, if I'm wearing a full face of make-up that day I make sure to remove it using a wipe or my Makeup Eraser before using this step.)
The Sensitive Skin Treatment hydrates your skin and relieves any sensitive areas you have. It uses exclusive RFp3 peptide technology to neutralize irritants at the skins surface. This step really helps when I'm experiencing redness or dry patches. As I have used the regimen more consistently I've realized that I don't have ANY dry patches. This is extremely rare for me - usually I have constant dryness under my eyes!
Next I apply the Moisture Replenishing Cream. I love this moisturizer! It works great for my skin, which is generally very oily, making it hard to find moisturizers that work for me. It makes my skin feel so healthy and hydrated, without leaving any sort of film, or making me shiny.
The last step, which isn't pictured, is the Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. It's a mineral based sunscreen that didn't break me out - which is very rare for sunscreens I've tried.
I would absolutely recommend this regimen to those with sensitive skin. In the future I definitely plan to try out the Redefine and Unblemish regimens as well.
