Why Staff-Favorite Kits Matter
When you step into a skincare clinic, you’re faced with an overwhelming array of products. Serums, cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, the options are endless. That’s why it helps to know exactly what professionals use themselves.
At REAL Aesthetic Medicine, our team doesn’t just recommend treatments and skincare; we test them, evaluate results, and choose what truly delivers. These are the products that have earned a permanent spot on our vanities and in our travel bags.
Better yet, we’ve bundled them into a Skin Essentials Kit, so you can experience the same science-backed results we do every day.
Meet the Team & Their Favorite Skincare Essentials
Here’s a closer look at our staff, the products they swear by, and why they’re worth adding to your skincare routine.
Sawyer - Alastin Gentle Cleanser
Sawyer relies on the Alastin Gentle Cleanser as the foundation of his skincare routine. Formulated with powerful antioxidants and soothing botanicals, it removes impurities without stripping the skin barrier.
“This cleanser does the heavy lifting, cleansing thoroughly but leaving my skin soft and calm,” Sawyer says.
This is a perfect first step for anyone layering active serums and treatments.
Kelsey - ZO Exfoliating Polish
Kelsey’s go-to is the ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish, a cult-favorite for good reason. With magnesium crystals, this polish sweeps away dead skin cells and restores luminosity.
“It’s my secret to a brighter complexion,” Kelsey shares.
By removing buildup, this exfoliator maximizes the penetration of other products, making every step of your skincare routine more effective.
Kimmy - Hydrinity Renewal HA Serum
Kimmy can’t get enough of the Hydrinity Renewal HA Serum, packed with next-generation hyaluronic acid.
“It gives my skin that plump, hydrated look instantly,” she says.
This serum draws in moisture, reduces fine lines, and supports skin healing, perfect for Santa Rosa’s dry climate.
Melinda - Alastin Restorative Skin Complex
For Melinda, skincare means going beyond surface hydration. She swears by Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, a powerhouse anti-aging product designed to combat skin laxity and dullness.
“I love how this formula supports collagen renewal,” Melinda notes.
Backed by TriHex Technology®, this treatment addresses all visible signs of aging, making it a staple in any anti-aging regimen
Gavin - Hydrinity Eye Renew Serum
When it comes to delicate eye skin, Gavin trusts Hydrinity Eye Renew Serum. Formulated to brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness, and smooth fine lines, this serum offers visible improvements fast.
“The eye area is the first place to show stress and aging. This is my fix,” Gavin explains.
Dr. Maynard - SkinBetter Science Alpharet Overnight Cream
Our own Dr. Maynard turns to SkinBetter Science Alpharet Overnight Cream. This clinically celebrated product combines a retinoid with lactic acid, delivering all the benefits of retinol without the irritation.
“It’s my number-one product for patients and myself,” says Dr. Maynard.
It improves tone, texture, and clarity overnight- making it a staff and patient favorite alike.
Victoria - REAL Luxe Lipid Moisturizer
Victoria keeps her lips nourished with REAL Luxe Lipid Moisturizer, a product developed exclusively at Real Aesthetic Medicine.
“I carry this everywhere. It’s luxurious but functional,” she says.
This formula strengthens the delicate lip barrier while smoothing fine lines around the mouth.
Sage - Alastin Hydratint SPF
Last but not least, Sage knows that no skincare routine is complete without sunscreen. Her top pick: Alastin Hydratint SPF.
“It’s lightweight, tinted, and gives me sun protection with a glow,” Sage explains.
