Recently,
I was asked if I’d like to try some products from the BeautyRX by Dr. Schultz
line and being the skincare junkie that I am, I couldn’t resist! The brand was formed
by Dr. Neal Schultz; an NYC dermatologist with over 35 years’ experience best
known for his award winning, gentle but effective glycolic exfoliants, in
order to offer them to people who couldn’t see him at his practice!
Although
the brand is known for its chemical exfoliants, I went with a few products that
I was running out of to see how they fared on my oily/combo, acne prone skin
and after testing them out over the last 4 weeks here’s what I think!
This
is an alcohol free toner and makeup remover that’s formulated for normal, dry
and combination skin. It contains Sodium PCA which attracts water molecules to
the skin to help maintain hydration as well as Cypress tree bark extract, a
natural astringent that leaves skin feeling fresh. I generally don’t mind
alcohol in my skincare but toner is the one product I like to be alcohol free
and this fits the bill perfectly.
This
is great at removing any leftover makeup or dirt from my face after cleansing (I
always miss bits on my neck and near my ears!) and feels really refreshing. It
doesn’t leave any residue on my skin but does leave my skin feeling soft and
ready for the next step in my routine.
Its different
to any other toner packaging I have in that it comes in a spray bottle which I love
because I waste less product – I find 6-7 sprays onto a cotton pad is perfect
for me and you can spray this onto your face during the day too if you wish –
the mist is very fine and sprays evenly so its brilliant if you want a refresh!
I do detect a light fragrance with this which I personally love but bare that
in mind if you like fragrance free products!
A lightweight,
water based, oil free moisturiser formulated for normal, oily and combination
skin, this works so well with my skin as a daily moisturiser! There are number of
ingredients in this including a patented BeautyRX compound called Triantiox – a
hydrator that helps to replace depleted moisture and visibly improve the
complexion. Other key ingredients include glycerin which helps maintain the
skins hydration, lavender extract to soothe irritation and protect skin from
the harsh environment and Vitamins C and E to provide antioxidant protection
against free radicals helping to prevent the signs of premature ageing.
I use
a pea size amount of this every morning and there is no greasy residue whatsoever,
it absorbs quickly into my skin and leaves me with a great base for makeup so I
usually find myself skipping primer. You can also use this in the evening but I
generally prefer a heavier moisturiser so have been saving this for the
morning. I can tell already that this is going to be a staple over the summer
for me when my skin tends to be on the oilier side of things – this one doesn’t
have SPF but I will layer it up with another product that does!
Last
but certainly not least is the Ultra Hydrating eye repair cream and this might
be my favourite out of the bunch! Formulated for all skin types, this is an emollient
packed; nourishing eye cream that treats and helps prevent visible signs of
ageing. It works to brighten the eye area while decreasing the appearance of
fine lines and improving tone and texture. Key ingredients include hyaluronic
acid to improve hydration and two more BeautyRX compounds – Pentabright, to
brighten and Tentrafoliant, a complex of four exfoliating ingredients (Glycolic
Acid, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Phytic Acid) to improve texture and tone.
This
is a very rich, hydrating eye cream that is perfect for night time. I sometimes
use it in the morning too but as it’s so rich I only take a tiny amount on my
ring finger and pat around my eyes. Since using this, I’ve noticed my under eye
area is much brighter and the sides of my eyes where I’ve recently noticed a
few fine lines are much more hydrated and not as noticeable. $90 is expensive
but the tub is massive so this will last ages! I know some people prefer pump
packaging and that is probably the only thing that would make this a little
better!
All
the products are dermatologist tested and come boxed and I love the chic, white
minimalistic packaging of the products themselves. The BeautyRX website is great
and has a lot more information on the ingredients included within the products.
Shipping
within the US is free on orders over $99 otherwise its $7.99 and they offer international
shipping too though its $45 via USPS!
Overall,
I am so impressed with the BeautyRX by Dr. Schultz products I had the
opportunity to try and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! None of the products
broke me out and they do exactly what they say they are going to! Have you
tried BeautyRX by Dr. Schultz before?
