Dr. Naomi Brooks understands that there is a need for customized skincare for different types of skin. Drugstore and department store products can have a number of extra ingredients or irritants, as well as lower quantities of necessary active ingredients, which is why she offers a curated selection of skincare products at her Boise, Idaho practice.
Face
Tretinoin
This is a topical prescription-strength vitamin A cream that treats acne, age spots, and wrinkles. Tretinoin works by stimulating collagen to reduce fine lines and regenerate new skin cells to improve skin texture, fade dark spots, and improve acne.
Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone is a topical physician-grade skin-lightening agent used to treat uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and melasma on the face.
Eyes
SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex
A.G.E. Eye Complex is an advanced anti-wrinkle eye cream that improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet associated with advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.), a major factor of the natural aging process. This silky eye cream is formulated for the delicate eye area with a potent combination of proxylane, blueberry extract, and a complex of flavonoids and synergistic peptides. Also includes optical diffusers to diffuse light and immediately improve the radiance of tired dull-looking eyes.
Lips
