Having long finished my last round of AviClear, I still find myself reaching for my tub of Eighth Day Intensive Moisturizer. "I think it holds its moisture really well - better than most products that I've honestly," he confirms.) (While he does not think that luxury products are necessary, per se, he does vouch for the sophistication of this formula. As UCLA Associate Professor and board-certified plastic surgeon Jason Roostaeian, MD, confirms, patients coming in for cosmetic treatments are absolutely more interested in spending the money on luxury products after having invested in their skin's rejuvenation. Skin-care trends indicate that science is indeed the new luxury, with data to back up results as the main factor justifying pricey purchases. I particularly like combining its growth factor–rich formula with my favorite retinol for added oomph in my collagen-stimulating skin-care routine. But, if you like the science behind the brand and a formulating philosophy that seeks to empower the skin cells to regenerate and heal, this could still be the multitasking, powerhouse formula for you.
The one downside? Its luxury price tag ($290). That's when I met Eighth Day Intensive Moisturizer. As someone whose skin seemingly breaks out at the mere suggestion of a clogged pore, I began looking for a potent, heavy-duty hydrator whose texture would not cause clogged pores or leave my shine-prone complexion looking oily. In short, finding the right texture for your particular skin condition is key. New York-based, board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, MD, says that formulaically speaking, more intensive moisturizers draw upon different proportions of emollients and occlusives that must take special care not to become pore-clogging, or comedogenic. I began to slug with green balms nightly but needed something less greasy for the daytime.
After having received a series of treatments via the AviClear laser for my hormonal acne, my complexion was dry, flaking, irritated, and red, and could not tolerate ingredients like retinol or chemical exfoliants. It just so happened that I was living both of these skin-drying realities simultaneously, changing my product regimen from literally head to toe.
