SkinMedica® is a line of advanced skin care products with healing and enhancing properties. The line offers a variety of products used to target your unique, daily skin concerns and needs.
SkinMedica® cleansers are formulated to gently remove makeup, oil, pollutants, and environmental debris without stripping the skin’s natural barrier, leaving your skin fresh and clean. Cleansers are typically used before other skin care products to optimize their results.
SkinMedica® correctors are designed to target visible skin concerns at the source. These advanced formulas help improve skin blemishes such as hyperpigmentation, redness, uneven texture, and signs of aging using clinically backed ingredients. Available as exfoliants, moisturizers, creams, and serums, SkinMedica® correctors work to restore brightness and clarity while supporting healthy skin renewal.
SkinMedica® moisturizers are scientifically formulated to replenish moisture, improve elasticity, and strengthen the skin barrier by providing your skin with the hydration it needs. By addressing dryness and dullness, these moisturizers help skin look smoother, healthier, and more luminous while supporting the results of in-office treatments and daily skincare routines.
Daily sun protection is one of the most important steps in preventing premature aging and skin damage. Broad-spectrum sunscreens defend against harmful UVA, UVB, and infrared rays, preventing skin cancer, sun damage, pigmentation, and redness.
SkinMedica® brightening products are formulated to fade discoloration, improve uneven skin tone, and enhance overall texture. These advanced treatments help address sun damage, age spots, and post-inflammatory pigmentation while promoting a clearer, more radiant complexion. Many patients incorporate SkinMedica® brightening products into their routine to achieve smoother, more luminous skin.
The delicate skin around the eyes is thinner and more prone to aging than other areas of the face, making it one of the first places to show fine lines, crepiness, puffiness, and dark circles. SkinMedica® eyelid creams are specifically formulated to address these concerns while being gentle enough for daily use. These targeted treatments help hydrate, smooth, and firm the eyelid and under-eye area, improving the appearance of fine lines, enhancing brightness, and reducing signs of fatigue and natural aging.
The neck and décolletage are highly susceptible to sun damage, laxity, and visible aging. SkinMedica® neck creams are designed to address the unique needs of this skin area by improving hydration, elasticity, and texture. Advanced formulas help minimize the appearance of horizontal neck lines, crepey skin, and uneven tone while supporting firmer, smoother-looking skin. Incorporating a neck cream into your daily routine can help extend rejuvenation beyond the face and maintain a more balanced, youthful appearance.
SkinMedica® treatment products are designed to address specific concerns such as acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark under-eye circles. Using proven ingredients and advanced delivery systems, these products support visible improvement while maintaining skin health.
SkinMedica® chemical peels are professionally administered treatments that exfoliate the outer, damaged layer of skin, revealing new, improved skin underneath. Peels can improve texture, tone, acne, and signs of aging while stimulating natural skin renewal. When paired with SkinMedica® home care, professional peels provide noticeable, long-lasting results for patients looking to refresh and rejuvenate their complexion.
DiamondGlow® is a next-generation, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that delivers immediate, visible results with no downtime. Using a diamond-tipped wand, DiamondGlow® gently exfoliates the skin while simultaneously extracting debris and infusing customized medical-grade serums deep into the pores. This three-in-one approach helps improve skin texture, tone, and clarity while enhancing hydration, radiance, and the effectiveness of skincare products. DiamondGlow® effectively targets concerns such as dullness, congestion, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation, making it a great treatment option for many patients.
SkinMedica® products are made with powerful ingredients to promote skin rejuvenation and encourage the development of new, healthy skin. Popular ingredients included in SkinMedica® products include:
Growth factors are naturally produced by the body, and in skincare products, they may be sourced from stem cells, animal products, or plant material. The SkinMedica® products that we carry at JanigaMDs are all human growth factors. These are shown to work the best. As we age, the skin naturally produces fewer growth factors. Using skincare products that introduce growth factors topically can reduce signs of aging, such as lost elasticity, and help promote a more youthful complexion.
Advances in skin care research have led to the development of antiaging ingredients and formulas. Growth factors have been proven to improve the appearance of discoloration and wrinkles, which are caused by the natural aging process as well as environmental damage. JanigaMDs offers professional-quality growth factor skincare products from SkinMedica®, including:
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are key components in collagen and elastin production and skin repair. As the skin ages, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Topical peptide-based skincare helps support the skin’s natural repair processes by signaling it to produce more collagen and strengthen its structure.
Advances in skincare science have made peptides a cornerstone of modern anti-aging formulations. SkinMedica® incorporates clinically backed peptides into select formulations to complement other advanced ingredients such as growth factors and antioxidants. When applied consistently, peptide-infused products can improve skin texture, enhance firmness, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They also help reinforce the skin barrier, making the skin more resilient to environmental stressors and everyday damage. This supports healthier skin and long-term rejuvenation.
Antioxidants include ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, retinol, or green tea extract. These ingredients benefit your skin by preventing damage to skin cells caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules generated in the body in reaction to sun exposure, pollution, or other factors. In skincare, antioxidants help to slow the aging process by protecting the skin, preventing discoloration, wrinkles, and damage. The result is a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion with fewer signs of aging. Many dermatologists recommend including antioxidant products in your daily skincare routine in the morning to improve the appearance of your skin and to protect it daily. One of the most popular products from SkinMedica® is the LUMIVIVE® System, a two-step system for day and night use. This pairing is specifically formulated for those exposed to not just environmental pollutants, but also blue light from computers and phone screens. If you work at a computer most of the day, these complementary serums are designed to protect your skin during the day and help to repair it at night.
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, which promotes exfoliation and collagen production and inhibits pigment. This boosts the skin’s elasticity and removes dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. Retinol is a powerful skin care ingredient, so first-time users of SkinMedica® Retinol Complex are encouraged to start by implementing the cream into their regimen by applying it at night once a week, gradually increasing frequency every three weeks as tolerated. It’s common to experience mild redness and flaking or peeling when starting retinol products; this should be mild and last only a few weeks. If you are too dry or irritated, you should decrease the frequency of application. For reference, some patients can only use a retinol 2x per week, and others can use it daily if they have more oily skin at baseline.
