This sunscreen protects your skin and gives a nice healthy glow!” – Sherry

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25% | $66

Humphrey & Beleznay Cosmetic Dermatology, Skincare Gift Guide

“One of my favorite skincare products at any time of year is retinol. It is something I recommend for almost all my patients (unless pregnant). The SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25% is a great one for those new to retinol. Their lineup offers the opportunity to level up to the Retinol Complex 0.5 or 1.0 as well. I love the formulation that includes antioxidants, ceramides and squalane as well. It provides the benefits of retinol – helping to address photoaging, skin texture and pigmentation – while adding hydration.” – Dr. Katie Beleznay

ZO® Skin Health Exfoliating Polish | $90

Alastin HA IMMERSE Serum™️ | $154

Humphrey & Beleznay Cosmetic Dermatology, Skincare Gift Guide

“My go to for Christmas gifting (and what I’m hoping will be in my stocking) is the Alastin HA IMMERSE Serum (hydration and gratification in a bottle). A breakthrough formula that immediately hydrates and amplifies the skin’s natural ability to create hyaluronic acid deep within for a plumper, radiant and more youthful looking skin over time. I’m particularly picking this one for gifting as it’s suitable for all skin types, so whether skin is very dry or even oilier/acne prone, the formula is so lightweight that it offers hydration effectively and safely for all of my friends and family.” – Dr. Shannon Humphrey

Alastin Restorative Neck Complex | $156.80

Humphrey & Beleznay Cosmetic Dermatology, Skincare Gift Guide
