The Science of Skin Care
Looking after your skin with a daily skincare routine is the key to keeping it healthy. After all, it is the most exposed organ to the external environment!(2) Each of us is unique, and no two people’s skin composition is the same. However, there are some universally accepted skin care ingredients in the products we offer to combat common skin problems shared by everyone.
AHAs
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are a group of naturally derived compounds that can improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and fade dark spots. It has repeatedly been shown that AHAs can beneficially modify the skin surface, the epidermis and the dermis. (3)
CoQ10
Topical creams with CoQ10 (an important vitamin-like substance in the body) boost Q10 levels, providing antioxidizing effects to help protect skin from sun damage.(4)
L-Ascorbic Acid
More commonly known as vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid is a powerful skin antioxidant. It serves as an essential collagen stimulator, anti-inflammatory, and depigmenting agent. (5)
Peptides
These complex strings of amino acids reside in your body naturally. Products containing peptides actively stimulate the skin’s basement membrane, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. (6)
Retinol – Retinoids are both core topical therapies for acne, and key ingredients to fight signs of aging. (7)(8)
Salicylic Acid (SA) – SA is a safe and effective treatment for a number of dermatological and cosmetic conditions, including acne vulgaris, dark patches (melasma) and photodamage. (9)

Alastin Skin Care
MedSpa & Skin Care in Orange County and Beyond!
Living in sunny Southern California certainly has its advantages! We are graced with great weather, great activities, and great people. However, whether we’re at the beach or in the mountains, in the city or in the country, we are surrounded by harsh UV rays, environmental toxins, and pollution. These can leave our skin feeling dry and tight or dull and greasy. Similarly, hormones, stress, and biology can predispose us to blemish-prone skin. What’s more, as we age, the components and processes in our skin begin to change and become less efficient, resulting in the development of wrinkles, lines, and abnormal pigmentation.
For comprehensive medspa services to restore and revitalize your face and body you can rely on DermFx as your one-stop location for skin care! We have numerous offices in Sunset Beach, Dana Point, Orange, and Newport Beach. To stay informed, book a medspa treatment, or ask us a question, get in touch today at (562) 592-5100.

FAQ
What products can I use on my skin for hyperpigmentation?
The best over-the-counter products for skin discoloration caused by hyperpigmentation contain pigment-correcting ingredients and exfoliants. When you’re shopping for something to help you with hyperpigmented skin, look for AHAs, BHAs, tranexamic acid, salicylic acid and glycolic acid.
How can I protect my sun-damaged skin?
The most important thing to do is stay out of the sun where possible! If sun exposure is unavoidable, dermatologists recommend sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays. The type of sunscreen you choose depends on your skin type, but the general consensus is the higher the SPF, the better the protection!
My skin is dry and sensitive, what products should I use?
Products high in rehydrating components are the best for dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramide-based creams and serums can help restore hydration to itchy, dry skin.
