My Mom Didn't Know How to Treat Her Perimenopausal Skin—These Are the Products I Think Will Work for Her

My mom is new to the perimenopausal journey, and if there's one thing that she's learned, it's how confusing the symptoms are. Many of the symptoms include sleep issues, mood changes, fatigue, weight gain, night sweats, and skin changes, which can easily be caused by environmental factors. It's hard to identify perimenopause if you're not experiencing every symptom at once.

Fast-forward, and my mom is finally getting the hang of perimenopause thanks to a little bit of research and an introduction to Rodan + Fields products. I recommended Rodan + Fields because it's the number-one dermatologist-founded skincare brand for innovative formulas, and its products were designed to actively treat skin impacted by aging or perimenopause. These products were developed with my mom's skin in mind, and I can't be nonchalant about that. Read on for the top three products on her radar.

Pure C Serum for Anti-Aging Properties

Perimenopausal skin experiences a variety of changes related to estrogen loss and hormonal fluctuation. On the outside, this looks like tighter, duller, or less soft skin. My mom is looking for something to address these symptoms. Pure C Serum targets these changes with a nourishing, collagen-supporting vitamin C formula that restores radiance, firmness, and skin resilience. Immediately after application, her skin will feel smoother and look more radiant, which is the ultimate goal. Over time, she will notice healthier-looking skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Active Hydration Serum for Clinically Tested Results

When your estrogen declines, moisture is stripped from your skin, thus breaking down your skin barrier and resulting in tight, dull, and dry skin. Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Serum was crafted to bring hydration back to your skin. It contains a 3D3P Molecular Matrix that combines 30% glycerin with cross-linked hyaluronic acid to draw moisture from the air, lock it in, and rebuild the skin barrier. It's hard to visualize, but rest assured that these ingredients work together for results within hours. Clinical studies show a 200% increase in hydration after just one use, and this hydration lasts up to eight hours.

Redefine Multifunction Eye Cream for Multifunctional Use

Declining estrogen is the source of a lot of skin concerns for people dealing with perimenopause. One of the major concerns is collagen loss. Declining estrogen accelerates collagen loss around the eyes faster than anywhere else on the face. (Is your jaw also on the floor?) This results in deeper crow's feet, sagging skin, and an overall heaviness that makes you look extremely tired even when you're well-rested. Rodan + Fields' Redefine Multifunction Eye Cream contains a mix of vitamins C and F, peptides, and grape and daisy botanical extracts that work together to visibly firm, lift, and strengthen the delicate skin around your eyes. In short, it's not a single-benefit eye cream. It targets all signs of aging around the eyes.
