Best Products for 2026

At the end of 2025, I reviewed my real patient outcomes across my practice and chose the products that made the strongest clinical impact across each of the main skincare categories. These formulas earned their gold medal by performing consistently, improving key skin metrics, and becoming the most repurchased products in their categories. Consider this your dermatologist curated edit of what will carry your skin into 2026 with clarity, brightness, and long term barrier health.

The 2026 Best in Class Lineup
•⁠ ⁠Alastin Hydratint Pro Mineral Sunscreen
The mineral sunscreen patients finish and repurchase because it protects, blends well, and supports barrier health.

•⁠ ⁠RVL Ritanol Retinol Serum
My benchmark retinol for collagen support, clarity, and long term skin improvement. Made for ALL skintypes sensitive to acne-prone.

•⁠ ⁠Revision Brightening Wash
A proven brightening cleanser that elevates tone and smooths texture on all skin types.

•⁠ ⁠Neova Pure Copper Mask
My favorite recovery tool for calming inflammation and improving overnight repair after active treatment nights.

•⁠ ⁠RVL Combination Pads
Balanced resurfacing that controls breakouts, evens tone, and smooths texture without over stripping.

•⁠ ⁠RVL Brightening Body Renewal
The most effective body treatment I have found for tone, texture, and keratinocyte turnover.

•⁠ ⁠RVL Intense Body Repair
A retinol based body formula that improves firmness and texture with consistent use.
