It can be overwhelming, the many choices of rejuvenating facial skin creams. I frequently get asked about which is the best cream or cream(s). While I do not believe there is one best cream for everyone, I do believe there is a best combination of creams for any given person. The latest philosophy on daily home skin care rejuvenating regimens is to include the following: Growth Factors, Retinoids, Antioxidants, Sunblocks and Specialty Products (like skin lighteners). The SkinMedica line coined the term "GRASS" to help us remember these five components of a good anti-aging daily skin care regimen. Most women and men will benefit from a GRASS regimen if their goal is to fight aging changes in their skin.
