There’s no denying that the skincare industry is saturated with brands, all claiming to be the miracle solution for your skin concerns. With so many products being released daily, it can be hard to keep up, let alone find a brand you truly believe in. We’re big advocates of self-care and are always on the hunt for quality products to share, which is why we’re happy to give you our honest review of Dr. Loretta skincare. We were sent three of Dr. Loretta’s best selling products to test for ourselves and are now sharing our thoughts on the brand, formula and performance of each item.

A member of the American Academy of Dermatology with over 40 years of experience, Dr. Loretta saw firsthand the dangers of leaving skin exposed to environmental factors. With thousands of body scans under her belt, she developed her line to directly address what she refers to as the Four Factors that contribute to skin damage, aging and health concerns. The Four Factors are pollution, light, climate and irritants, and each of these play a roll in damaging the skin’s sensitive barrier. The anti-aging skincare line features products to protect against the sun, which is the biggest of the Four Factors that accelerates aging, but it also addresses dullness, texture and enlarged pores.

Dr. Loretta skincare is formulated without the following:

• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Phthalates
• Artificial dyes, fragrances and mixes
• Ethyl alcohol
• Propylene glycol

Anti-Aging Repair Serum retails for $110 at drloretta.com.

If you’re dealing with issues of dullness, sun damage and dark spots, incorporating a Vitamin C serum into your skincare routine can help increase overall brightness while reducing damaged areas and lightening dark spots. Dr. Loretta’s Anti-Aging Repair Serum formula contains 3% Vitamin C and works to increase collagen, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and aids in skin cell turnover that reduces dark spots and discoloration. After using the anti-aging serum, skin is left with a healthy glow without feeling sticky. While testing it out, the serum quickly absorbed into the skin and layered well with sunscreen and other serums like hyaluronic. The serum can be used day and/or night, but be sure to use a generous amount of sunscreen if applied in the morning.

Pros:

• Absorbs well into skin.
• Doesn’t pill and can be worn underneath makeup and with other serums.
• Leaves a healthy glow to skin without being sticky.

Cons:

• Higher price point.
• Contains only 3% Vitamin C, which is lower when compared to other formulas.

Tightening Eye Gel retails for $60 at drloretta.com.

The skin around the eye is thinner, therefore leaving the delicate area more susceptible to damage from sun and aging concerns. When it comes to skincare targeted for the eye area, it’s important to select formulas that are clean yet effective. The Tightening Eye Gel by Dr. Loretta is truly one of a kind. Working to reduce the appearance of fine lines, the eye gel effortlessly glides onto the skin, which allows you to work in the formula without pulling skin resulting in more damage. Not only does the eye gel reduce the look of lines and wrinkles, the eye area is instantly lifted and feels awake. The Tightening Eye Gel is a game changer for those who battle puffy under eyes and dark circles.

Pros:

• Absorbs well into skin and works with other serums.
• Instantly reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Reduces puffiness and fades dark circles.

Cons:

• Higher price point.
• Can feel sticky.
• Pills if too much is used — a little goes a long way.
