Envision the endless images of women reclining with chilled cucumbers resting upon their eyelids.  These chilled veggies’ ability to depuff undereye bags has reached mythical proportions.  The reality; swelling diminishes slightly due to cold-induced vasoconstriction of swollen blood vessels and reduces fluid buildup. No chemical magic related to the cucumber itself.  
However, white tea is rich in EGCG, a powerful botanical renowned for its calming action.  Incorporated into an eye balm such as DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge rescue & protect eye balm, white tea quickly helps soothe and depuff delicate undereye tissue. If it is cold you...]]></description>

Sharpeis are so adorable. I think it’s those deep wrinkle folds that simply beg to be pinched.  What makes a sharpei look, well, like a sharpei and not a pug?  This breed of canine has a defect in the genetic make-up of their skin.  A gene known as HAS2 responsible for producing dermal Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is faulty in the sharpei.  In mature human skin, it’s simply less active.  This deep tissue filler substance provides lift and volume to the skin.  Without out it, skin sags and develops deep creases.  On a sharpei...]]></description>

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Skin cancer is the most common of cancers, affecting an estimated 1.3 million Americans each year. With rates of newly diagnosed cases rising at a rate of 4 to 5 percent annually, skin cancer continues to be is a veritable epidemic.

Wear sunscreen year round. Clouds do little to cut down on UV rays and may actually serve to reflect them and increase your UV exposure. Make sure it contains a broad spectrum SPF 30 such as DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin' clarifying sunscreen spf 30 PA+++ or DERMAdoctor Body Guard spf 30 for face or body.

The dermis is like a Jello® mold strewn with pretzel sticks.  Yes, a food analogy for the architecture of this all-important structural portion of our skin. 
The pretzel sticks represent collagen fibers. These strong little strands hold up the skin like a tent pole.  As we age, the skin loses 1% of its collagen fibers each year after the age of 40.  This is why fine wrinkle lines appear.
Collagen fibers don’t exist in a vacuum, though.  They live within the Jello® of the Jello® mold.  Here, other important structures such as blood vessels, nerve endings...]]></description>

A Message from Dr. Kunin

Welcome to the NEW DERMAdoctor.com!
Thirteen years ago I was an internet pioneer, bringing essential, hard to find skin health and beauty items online along with accurate healthy skin information.  Back then your feedback inspired me, as it continues to.  I realized the need for unique problem-solving skin care; solutions consumers didn’t realize they wanted until they were created.
Since that time, DERMAdoctor Specialist Skin Care has become an internationally acclaimed brand. My solutions continue with recent launches such as Photodynamic Therapy liquid red light laser lotion, Gorilla Warfare hair minimizing facial moisturizer and KP Duty intensive priming...]]></description>

Retinoid is common jargon in the skin rejuvenation world, yet for all the marketing hype, it’s not well understood. The word “retinoid” is a generic one.  It merely refers to any member of the Vitamin A family. Consider for a moment the word “antibiotic”.  There’s penicillin, sulfa, tetracycline, cephalosporin; they’re all related but different in their own ways. In the retinoid family there’s retinoic acid, retinol, esters of retinoic acid.  Each is unique, yet related. Their use in skincare is legendary, yet not all are created equal or are equally effective.
Retinoids come available only by prescription; others are found in...]]></description>

Breaking The Ties That Bind
It's widely known that exfoliation is good for your skin, and most beauty junkies choose to exfoliate regularly. But is the rationale for partaking in this daily grooming habit apparent, or is it simply performed because beauty editors universally demand it of us?
The perception that exfoliation is healthy has true roots in the structure and physiology of the skin. While skin thickness varies by region, the epidermis is on average composed of 30 layers of cells, (16 in the outermost stratum corneum), stacked upon each other like bricks. And like a brick wall, an intercellular cement...]]></description>

Chemical peels are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that patients avail themselves of today. Chemical peels can give your skin a healthy, "just refreshed" look, or can be aggressive, taking years off of your appearance.
What do chemical peels do? The outer portion of the skin (epidermis) is composed of multiple layers of epidermal cells. These cells provide a barrier against the environment, protecting deeper, more delicate tissues, maintain an even internal temperature and also prevent against dehydration.
Epidermal cells are anchored together in two ways. Microscopic fibers called tonofilaments run between individual cells, helping anchor them together. An extracellular...]]></description>

You may have read previous articles or posts on our site or others about the highly-controversial ingredient hydroquinone, which is the most commonly used skin bleaching agent in the U.S. Hydroquinone essentially shuts down melanin production and can be found in large numbers of both prescription (at the 4% level) and over-the-counter (at the 2% level) skin lighteners. The main issues of controversy surrounding hydroquinone are skin irritation and the potential for a rare side effect known as ochronosis, when long term use with high potency hydroquinone, particularly in people of color, may be associated with darkening of the treated...]]></description>

Inspired to conquer your perspiration woes but wonder what antiperspirant is up to the challenge? Misinformation and over-the-top claims create confusion. So do high tech sounding ingredients, low-tech "back-to-basics" approaches and a plethora of decidedly not dermatologist-friendly ingredients. Know your sweating physiology, what really works (and doesn't) and why. Staying dry, fresh and confident can be just a roll-on away.
Only Make Believe?
If searching for a product that is going to keep you dry, don't be fooled by the labeling. Antiperspirants and deodorants are not necessarily the same. Believing a product labeled merely as a "deodorant" may be an unpleasant surprise...]]></description>
