Skincare systems help to maintain and protect your skin's moisture balance and reduce the signs of aging. Using products not suited to your skincare type can strip away natural oil, irritate your skin or leave your skin greasy. The best skincare systems provide individual systems for different types of skin. They also provide visible results and are based on the science of skincare. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends sticking with reputable brands and exercising caution with product claims that sound extreme.

Dr. Wexler Skin Care
Dr. Patricia Wexler's skin care line is based on clinical studies. Wexler's anti-aging skincare system contains MMPi-20 technology, which is a matrix metalloproteinases, or MMPs, inhibitor. MMPs are naturally produced enzymes that aid the skin's healing process. Excessive MMPs cause skin degradation, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and loss of firmness. MMPi-20 helps regulate the production of MMPs that can cause skin aging. Wexler's skincare system includes cleaners, moisturizers, eye creams, exfoliators and anti-aging products. Her products are clinically tested and dermatologist tested.
