“Skin care in patch form is gaining popularity and fast. Just scroll through the Instagram feed of any “It” girl and you are sure to find at least one photo of her in a makeup chair rocking eye patches or a sheet mask. But after one application of Rodan + Fields’ new Acute Care Patches, we quickly realized they are unlike any patches we’ve tried before.”

says Allure Magazine

“Each Acute Care patch holds more than one hundred microscopic liquid cones that melt into lines and wrinkle for smoother, more youthful looking skin. When used at night, these treatment patches fit comfortably under the eye or above the lip, to quickly and painlessly smooth targeted lines and wrinkles for a naturally younger-looking appearance. REDEFINEAcute Care Skincare for Expression Lines delivers hyaluronic acid and peptides that produce visible results in the majority of users from just one use. Further benefits are seen and sustained with continued usage.”

says The Examiner

 This all sounds good. Very good.

As of today, Redefine Acute Care is available to YOU. I can already see my newsfeed blowing up and Rochelle and Taryn’s inboxes filling up!

Remember, as I pledge on my Partnerships & Purpose Page, I will only partner with companies that I support; that I truly believe can realistically enhance your life.

I decided to really try my hand at being an investigative journalist yesterday (I was channeling my inner Sarah Koenig as I was waiting for my phone fix) and went into a very popular and high end store that is for makeup, skincare and spa services. I got to speak with the manager, and I asked her what she thought of my skin. She told me that I could use some exfoliation and products that moisturize while filling in lines. And then, surreptitiously, I asked her about Rodan + Fields, as compared to the very fancy and well-known lines that she was showing to me. She told me, just as quietly, that her sister is a consultant for the company and she only hears great things. “It is supposed to be excellent,” were her exact words.

I asked for a sample of one of the products she was showing me from another brand that shall not be named (by the way, it was an exfoliating pad that I was supposed to use on my clean, dry face, and it made my skin BURN!) and told her that I would think about my path moving forward.

So I dipped my toes into Rodan + Fields this weekend and I must admit, I couldn’t be happier. I have very sensitive skin and am always cautious about trying new products. But even more than that, I am currently suffering from the worst case of dry, chapped lips that I can remember. This winter has been brutal on my mouth, and as someone with lips that are the most prominent feature on my face, it is not so pretty. I had  already tried everything from drugstore brand chapsticks to medicated lip balms to salves and even to department store lip products (that did not work, and so I wrote to their customer service department to tell them so); and then, I tried the R+F Redefine Lip Renewing Serum.

It is meant to change the look and quality of your lips, keeping them moisturized, plump and free of wrinkles. For me, though, it just soothed my dry lips like nothing else has. My lips felt instantly moisturized (I used after exfoliating, as the directions suggest, and after a shower, with clean skin).

I am just starting my journey in learning about all of the products that R+F has to offer, but so far, so good. Again I’ll say, very good.
