Peter Thomas Roth Max All Day Moisture Defense Cream SPF 30
by Jcapulet Everyone should have a decent SPF cream these days and as more and more companies are specialising in certain skin types and skin issues then there really is no excuse to go without if you know where to look. This version of one of Peter Thomas Roth's many SPF products is for drier skin types ( if you have normal/combination ... you may want to read my review for the lite-oil free version. ) It's an all day product which is great for those people who only have the chance to apply their skincare once a day and it's been formulated to leave your skin feeling hydrated and conditioned without the need to use extra products ( please see *How to use* for effective usage.) *Who is this for ? * This is for the drier skin types. If you have combination or oily skin you probably won't like it and I would recommend a lighter, perhaps oil free version depending on your skin type, concerns and season. That said, on very cold days I have used this ( I have combination skin, prone to breakouts ) but it is too rich for my skin during the summer months or abroad in warmer climates. The official Peter Thomas Roth tag-line is that this is suitable for even oily skin types, however, I would personally save my money and purchase one of the many other versions that are more suitable for your skin. Plus I love to use my normal skincare products alongside my SPF cream but it is not suitable to do so with this product. *How to use* Now, where this product to differs to some is that it contains both chemical and physical sunscreen. Therefore, for the FULL protective benefits this should be used ALONE. And because it also contains a physical sunscreen then it needs to reflect the sun's rays without interference so please don't use any other liquid on top or you're diluting the effectiveness of the cream. As for makeup I would us either mineral based makeup or powder based makeup, as opposed to liquid foundation. Please also note that thicker suncreams such as this, which tend to contain some physical sunscreens, can sometimes leave a white residue on the skin. Although people like to use less to avoid this you're not really gaining the full protection if you only use a minimal amount. Therefore, if you're a woman of colour for example with dry skin, then I would apply mineral based/powder based makeup over the top, however, if you prefer not to wear any makeup and/or you have oiler skin then I would perhaps try a purely chemical based suncream instead. *Why this works* As with many Peter Thomas Roth products this is a mult-tasking product and is not simply there to protect your skin from the sun. It contains Vitamin A ( which has gentle exfoliating and moisturising properties and is used often in anti-aging skin care ranges, ) Vitamin C ( which acts as a natural and effective anti-oxidant, ) Allantoin ( which is thought to have healing, moisturising, soothing and anti-irritating properties, ) and Panthenol ( a form of Vitamin B5 that not only adds moisture to the skin but also has calming and soothing properties.) *Ingredients* Active Ingredients: Octinoxate 7.50, Octisalate 5.00%, Oxybenzone 4.00%, Meradimate 3.00%. Titanium Dioxide 1.00%. Inactive Ingredients: Water, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Trigylceride, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Beta-Glucan, Ceramide 3, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Allantoin, Micellized Vitamin A, Micellized Vitamin E, Panthenol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Cetyl Esters, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, Quaternium-15.

Peter Thomas Roth Potent Skin Lightening Gel Complex
by Jcapulet One of the reasons why I tend to buy and trust Peter Thomas Roth products is because they know their stuff and use impressive ingredients that do the job. That said, most of the time they work but sometimes, for some reason, it just doesn't. I don't have much pigmentation but I do like to use products that even out my ... complexion and I've had a couple of friends who do have pigmentation try this and give me their verdict. There were mixed results and I think that's down to the age-old 'not everything suits everyone' adage since the ingredients are quite impressive. *Who is this for ? * This is for anyone who has pigmentation issues and because it is a gel formulation it will suit ALL skin types. Drier skins may want to slot this into their normal skincare routine whereas oilier skins like to use this and an SPF cream alone, with perhaps just adding a moisturiser during the times that it's needed. Oilier skins will probably love the ingredients even if they don't have much pigmentation. *How to use* To begin, I would say that unless you're willing to wear an SPF cream of at least 25-30 everyday then I wouldn't bother trying to deal with pigmentation issues. It's crucial that as you remove the layers of clumped pigmentation that you protect the fresh, new skin or you will never be rid of your skin issue. Also, another reason why some people find that some pigmentation products 'don't work' is because they're applying their SPF cream incorrectly. Those SPF creams with a chemical sunscreen ( the likes of Avobenzone for example ) works by reacting with your skincells without interference, therefore a chemical sunscreen needs to be added FIRST before ANYTHING !!!! It should be left to dry for approximately 10 minutes before you continue with your skincare routine. ( I won't go into the pros and cons of physical and chemical suncreens here, but I may write a review of such products so people can make an educated decision. ) Those SPF creams with a physical sunscreen ( the likes of titanium dioxide for example ) works by reflecting the harmful rays, therefore a physical sunscreen needs to be added LAST !! Now you know when to apply your SPF cream, it should give you a good indictaion as to whether you should apply this before or after your SPF cream. For those who enjoy using serums and oils etc, I would say serums, gels, oils in that order, depending on how lightweight or heavy your serums or oils are and how much you use. Lightest should always go on first and then followed in order. If you use a heavier serum or oil then you will need to change the order, but you will learn to know for yourself which sink in the easiest and quickest to place in order. * Why this product works * The active ingredient in his product is Hydroquinone which is a ingredient that has been used for many years in lightening products. In this product it has a 2% strength whereas in a physician strength for example, it would 4%. (However, that has to be prescribed and is not available over the counter. ) So from the outset, one of the reasons as to why this is not THAT effective could be that although it uses Hydroquinone in a safe way, it may not be strong enough to do as an effective job on SEVERE issues of pigmentation as the physician strength. This could be because of how Hydroquinone works. Hormonal or sun damaged skin for example have blotchy areas of brown which are due to groups of cells manufacturing too much pigment and Hydroquinone works by interfering with the cells' enzymatic processes of manufacturing too much pigment to achieve a more evened out complexion. Therefore, perhaps this ingredient is only truly effective in larger percentages, but that is not safe enough for everyday, over the counter use. So it may be that you're sacrificing results for safety, but if that's the case, perhaps using another ingredient is the way to go ? Also some people are found to be quite sensitive to this ingredient, so if you find your skin irritated by using this skin lightening gel, it may well be the Hydroquinone. However, that said, to be fair this product has other impressive ingredients that should have an effect. For example, it contains the likes of Azelaic Acid ( this is a product traditionally found in products that treat acne as it's thought to kill the bacteria associated with acne but also reduces the growth of the keratin surface skin cells that can block pores and increase the likelihood of a spot, ) Kojic Acid ( another ingredient that has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which is also thought to help brighten and normalise pigmentation ( or darkened areas in general ) of the skin. Some undereye creams use this ingredient too if they're targeting dark shadows for example. ) It also contains the likes of Bearberry Extract and Mulberry Extract ( which is thought to target pigmentation by decreasing the melanin in the skin for example, ) Ascorbic Acid ( which is a form of Vitamin C which not only acts as an effective anti-oxidant but it's also thought to stimulate collagen production, ) and Salicylic Acid ( which acts an exfoliator on the skin. ) Therefore, the lightening gel has quite as impressive ingredient line up for fighting pigmentation and helping to keep the skin clearer and more radiant. However, I'm not a huge fan of Hydroquinone in general and only wish that Peter Thomas Roth would have used an alternative active ingredient for less chances of irritation and higher success rates in the gels results. *Ingredients* Active Ingredients: Hydroquinone U.S.P. 2%. Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, Bearberry Extract, Mulberry Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Disodium EDTA, SD-Alcohol, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Sulfite, Glycerin, Methylparaben, BHT, Diazolidinyl Urea.

Peter Thomas Roth Power Rescue Facial Firming Lift
by Jcapulet *Who is this for ? * I would say this is for those 30+ who either already have signs of aging on the skin, or are anxious to keep the aging processes on your skin at bay for as long a possible. Peter Thomas Roth know their ingredients and what works on the skin, so this is will be more effective for those with signs of aging ... such as lines/evidence of sun aging/uneven skin tone etc. However, I admit to using this even though I don't have many signs of aging on my skin and use it to help keep the signs of aging at bay, therefore, if you're like me then you shouldn't really expect to see HUGE results because of this. I would say that this product is suitable for all skin types who are concerned with the signs of aging. I would also recommend this for sensitive skins, however, as with all sensitivity issues you should always patch test first. I would say however that if you have oily skin and your main concern with your skin is keeping it clear from spots etc, then you probably won't like it and should purchase something else. That said, if you do have an oilier skin type but you are concerned with the signs of aging then your skin will be able to cope with this in my opinion. I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts and I am fine with this product. *Why does it work ? * This product is a powerful mix of vitamins and antioxidants (which help protect the skin from free radical damage), such as Vitamin C, Vitamin K1, Super Oxide Dismutase, Grape seed extract, Green tea extract, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Q10 ( which helps to boost skin repair and regeneration and reduce free radical damage ( since CoQ10-depleted skin may be more prone to free radical damage ) and Soy Protein (to help stimulate the skin cell respiration and enhances oxygen consumption, whilst also helping to reduce free radical damage.) It also contains Arnica Montana Flower Extract (to help soothe and repair), Kojic Acid ( to help brighten and normalise an uneven skin tone/pigmentation, whilst also having antibacterial properties.) All in all, I would say this is a powerful mix of ingredients which will help protect the skin from future free radical attacks and the Q10 will help to repair and regenerate your skin as it is now. Remember that if you're taking the time and effort to help repair your present skin-cells and protect your future skin-cells with products like this, then you should really be looking to wearing an spf cream for at least 25-30 all year round. I have used other Q10 products but because of the powerful mix of other ingredients in this one I found it to be much more effective on my skin. I don't have any signs of aging as yet but even I had a positive result with this product !! *How to use* Apply once or twice daily. You can add a moisturiser over the top if need be and if you use an SPF cream with a chemical sunscreen then use the SPF cream first and then add this product ( plus an moisturiser if need be. ) If you use an SPF cream with a physical sunscreen then use this product first ( and add any moisturiser if need be ) and then finally add your spf cream. *Ingredients* Ingredients Water, Sodium Acrylate/Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Super Oxide Dismutase, Phytonadione (Vitamin K1), Beta Glucan, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Green Tea Extract, Kojic Acid, Chamomile Extract, Horse Chestnut Extract, Arnica, Montana Flower Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Soy Protein, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Cyclomethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben Read the complete review |
