About Rodan and Fields
Rodan and Fields was founded by Stanford-trained dermatologists Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, the same duo behind the legendary acne treatment Proactiv. With their decades of skincare expertise, Drs. Rodan and Fields set out to create a comprehensive line of products that could transform skin from the comfort of home.
The doctors take a "full face" approach to skincare, developing multi-step regimens that synergistically tackle common concerns like fine lines, uneven skin tone, and adult acne. Rodan and Fields offers a solution for every skin type and issue, with a focus on clinically-tested, cruelty-free ingredients.
The brand‘s philosophy is all about empowering people to feel confident in their skin. As Dr. Rodan says, "Everyone deserves great skin. It‘s that simple." And with numerous awards and distinctions under their belt, including being named the #1 Premium Skincare Brand in the U.S. in 2018, they‘re clearly onto something.
Rodan and Fields Regimens
Rather than hawking individual miracle products, Rodan and Fields is all about the power of a consistent, multi-step regimen. Here‘s a breakdown of their core lines:
Redefine: The holy grail for "prejuvenation" and beyond, the Redefine regimen targets fine lines, enlarged pores, and loss of firmness. Hero products include the Overnight Restorative Cream and Intensive Renewing Serum.
Reverse: If you‘re battling dullness, uneven skin tone, or stubborn dark marks, Reverse has your name on it. The star of the show is the Dual Active Brightening Complex, which fades discoloration and boosts radiance.
Soothe: Sensitive types, this one‘s for you. Soothe calms redness and irritation while fortifying the skin‘s moisture barrier. The Ultra Gentle Moisturizer is a personal fave for combatting dryness and flaking.
Unblemish: Designed with adult acne in mind, Unblemish unclogs pores, clears breakouts, and minimizes post-inflammatory marks. The Invisible Matte Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is a game-changer for oily, breakout-prone skin.
Spotless: Calling all teens (and let‘s be real, tweens too)! Spotless brings together the best of Unblemish and Soothe to gently yet effectively banish breakouts and blackheads.
But the options don‘t end there. Rodan and Fields also offers an array of targeted treatments, like the Active Hydration Serum (my personal holy grail) and fan-favorite Lash Boost.
Key Ingredients
So what makes Rodan and Fields products so effective? It all comes down to their hardworking ingredients. The brand focuses on clinically-proven actives like:
-
Retinoids: The gold standard for fighting signs of aging, retinoids boost cell turnover to smooth lines and even skin tone.
-
Peptides: These mighty proteins stimulate collagen synthesis to visibly firm and lift the skin.
-
Hyaluronic Acid: A moisture magnet, HA draws hydration into the skin to plump up fine lines and restore suppleness.
-
Vitamin C: This antioxidant powerhouse brightens, firms, and protects against free radical damage.
-
Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid: The ultimate acne-fighting duo, these ingredients unclog pores, reduce excess oil and calm inflammation.
-
Soothing Botanicals: Think chamomile, aloe and avocado oil to hydrate, comfort and restore stressed skin.
By combining these dermatologist-approved actives with cutting-edge delivery systems (I‘m looking at you, 3D3P Molecular Matrix), Rodan and Fields ensures optimal efficacy and results you can see and feel.

"I‘ve been using the Redefine regimen for about 4 months and the difference in my skin is unreal. My pores are refined, my texture is smoother, and I swear my smile lines are less noticeable. I constantly get compliments on my skin!" – Lauren S.
"I struggled with hormonal acne for years and had basically given up hope until I tried the Unblemish regimen. Within a few weeks, my breakouts were clearing up and my old marks were fading. I feel so much more confident now!" – Jenna M.
"The Lash Boost is everything. I‘ve been using it for about 8 weeks and my lashes are longer, thicker, and darker. I‘ve even gotten a few ‘are those real?‘ comments!" – Rachel T.
My Personal Experience
Now for my Rodan and Fields review! I was introduced to the brand by a friend who swore by the Redefine regimen. As someone in my early 30s with combination skin, I was starting to notice fine lines, enlarged pores, and a general loss of radiance. I decided to give the full Redefine regimen a go, and I‘m so glad I did.
From the first use, I was hooked on the luxurious textures and refreshing scents. The Daily Cleansing Mask in particular is a treat – it deep cleans without stripping and leaves my skin baby soft. I noticed an immediate improvement in hydration levels and brightness.
After about 4 weeks of consistent use, the real magic started to happen. My pores looked smaller, my skin tone was more even, and my burgeoning crow‘s feet were less pronounced. I even started skipping foundation most days since my skin looked so naturally perfected!
It‘s now been 6 months since I started my Rodan and Fields journey, and I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. Even my husband, who is usually oblivious to such things, has commented on how great my skin looks. I‘ve even gotten my mom hooked on the Reverse regimen for her sun damage and melasma.
