But separate Regimens, specific to the time of day, are recommended for a reason. Your skin needs a different type of care during the day, when it is exposed to sun and other pollutants than at night, when it is ready to regenerate.

Think of it as an operating system: It runs in the background to carry out essential functions and processes.\u00a0At night, your skin absorbs products better, as it\u2019s thinner at that time and undergoes the cell renewal and skin regeneration process. \u201cAlong with formulations, when you target the skin, we value your circadian rhythm and this approach greatly impacts results,\u201d Dr. Kathy Fields says. \u201cYour skin is cooler so more ingredients can absorb and penetrate better, leaving you with a dewy finish, which you wouldn\u2019t want in the daytime,\u201d Dr. Kathy Fields adds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skin_Cell_Renewal_As_We_Age\"><\/span><strong>Skin Cell Renewal&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>As<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;We Age<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The epidermis, or the outer layer of our skin, undergoes constant renewal every 28 days. During this time, all skin cells turn over as the most superficial cells are replaced by new ones. This turnover period is faster for infants than it is for children and so on. The process slows down over the course of a lifetime. That\u2019s why we need additional support from skincare as we reach our 30s, 40s and beyond.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_Of_Hydration\"><\/span><strong>The Importance&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Of<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Hydration<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydrated skin, rather than dry skin, is better able to absorb the ingredients we apply to it. That\u2019s why you may have read about applying your serum when your skin is damp or applying them after using an essence. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-is-an-active-ingredient-in-skincare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helps the active ingredients<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-is-hyaluronic-acid\/\">Hyaluronic Acid<\/a> to be delivered to your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_ingredients_To_Support_Skin_Regeneration\"><\/span><strong>The Best ingredients To Support Skin Regeneration<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support skin regeneration, the ingredients you want to look for are Retinoids (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/doctors-notes\/retinal-vs-retinol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retinol or Retinal<\/a>) and Peptides. Here, a little more information on what these two ingredients can do for your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinoids\"><\/span><strong>Retinoids&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retinoids are a class of Vitamin A chemical compounds or are chemically related to it, that is, derived from it.&nbsp;Vitamin A includes Retinol, Retinal, and Provitamin&nbsp;A&nbsp;Carotenoids. Retinol cream is the most common form of this type of Vitamin A, although it can also be found in a serum or oil format. There\u2019s also Retinal, which is more effective at stimulating collagen production than Retinol, yet it&#8217;s gentler on your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retinol is typically not for use during the day as it causes sensitivity to the skin when exposed to the light. If it\u2019s in a lower concentration, it can be used during the day with a daily sunscreen. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-regimen\/p\/HAAGR\">Redefine Regimen<\/a> has retinoids, but they are not as concentrated\u2014so it\u2019s okay to use this retinoid during the day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-intensive-renewing-serum\/p\/AASRI60\">Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum<\/a>, on the other hand, is a capsule containing Retinal-MD Technology,&nbsp;which is recommended to be used at night. Overall, when using Retinoids, it\u2019s best to avoid prolonged sun exposure. Always take sun safety measures, specifically, using an SPF daily. The sun is the #1 cause of aging when it comes to skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peptides\"><\/span><strong>Peptides<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-are-peptides-in-skincare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peptides <\/a>are short chains of amino acids, which act as building blocks of proteins\u2014like collagen, keratin and elastin. These make up your skin\u2019s foundation and they have an impact on texture, resilience and strength. Peptides have an effect on skin\u2019s firmness, texture and bounce. Peptides are messengers that trigger your skin cells to perform functions like building collagen and elastin, which can help your skin look and act younger. Peptides are proteins, like Collagen, which are your anti-aging defense. Collagen can\u2019t exist without Peptides.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_5-Step_Nighttime_Skincare_Routine_Product_Lineup_For_Healthy_Skin\"><\/span><strong>Your 5-Step Nighttime Skincare Routine Product Lineup&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>For<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Healthy Skin<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New REDEFINE Regimen offers a comprehensive lineup with alternative textures for your morning and evening routines.&nbsp; The products work together to help you achieve your skincare goals, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/doctors-notes\/rodan-fields-multi-med-therapy-approach\/\">Dr. Katie&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;and Dr. Kathy Fields\u2019 Multi-Med Therapy approach<\/a>. This means controlling a skin concern, like acne, by creating a system with a focus on prevention, as opposed to treating individual pimples.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Multi-Med Therapy approach is at the core of all of&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;+ Fields skincare Regimens. It takes the guesswork out of skincare, providing easy-to-use, 3-step systems to address skin concerns. No single ingredient can effectively address a complex skin concern. From Dr. Katie&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;and Dr. Kathy Fields\u2019 years of research, they saw that it takes the right ingredients, in the right product formulations, used in the right order, to improve skin and reveal visible results.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this approach,&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;+ Fields combines&nbsp;tried-and-true&nbsp;ingredients with active cosmetics and formulates them into elegant, aesthetically pleasing textures to deliver powerful results. Each Multi-Med Therapy solution is tailored to the appropriate age group to effectively address acne based on the individual\u2019s concerns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Facial Cleanser&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A facial cleanser is important for you to use every evening to remove makeup, dirt and oil. Your cleanser of choice can also gently exfoliate to help slough off dead skin cells.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: Toner<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toner helps with softening your skin and enabling penetration for the ingredients that follow in the next step. Toners also serve to cleanse your pores.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: Eye Cream&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydrating and moisturizing this area is key. You want to use an eye cream like Multi-Function Eye Cream, which is specifically designed for the under-eye area so as not to cause any irritation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Face Serum&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is optional if your skincare goals include either deeper hydration or a boost of retinoids. For hydration, try Active Hydration Serum. For a Retinal serum, try Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Night Cream or Lotion<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your moisturizer, whether you choose a cream or lotion, helps to target your main skin concern, in addition to skin-restoring moisturization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lifestyle_Tips\"><\/span><strong>Lifestyle Tips<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a consistent nighttime skincare routine is important when it comes to having healthy, youthful looking skin. Lifestyle changes can also help with better skin regeneration. Checking in with yourself and assessing whether you\u2019re getting enough sleep can make that difference. Another sleep-inhibiting factor is blue light exposure. Switch off your computers and TV an hour or so before bed and avoid having these electronics in your bedroom if you can. Last but not least, alcohol consumption can lead to a less-than-glowing complexion the next morning. Drinking in moderation will have an impact on how your skin looks and feels.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be real with each other.
