In her own words, "Just out of curiosity I wanted to take a recent picture this morning...no makeup, no filters, nothing, and compare side-by-side to before I started using Rodan+Fields. I knew my skin felt smoother, seemed brighter, and showed fewer signs of wrinkles...but to SEE this was crazy!
Truth is, I kind of cringe looking at my before picture because I actually thought I was using good stuff to take care of my skin then. I never thought my skin was all that bad then, but it definitely wasn't great!
Even after the initial 60 days of using these products I saw HUGE improvements, but I will tell you that consistency is key (just like everything in life). I love these products, I love what they have done for my skin!"
This is what Tina, an R + F Consultant had to say about her mom.
"Her entire life, my Mom has struggled with large pores. She has tried every product out there to help minimize her pores, but nothing seemed to work until she found Rodan + Fields! Check out her incredible results using the REDEFINE regimen with the AMP IT UP roller, working at it's best! Let me just tell you, her confidence level is through the roof!!"

This is How Long it Actually Takes For Your Skincare Products to Work (First published on wellandgood.com)

In the midst of a throbbing hormonal breakout, chances are you’re keen on doing anything it takes to get rid of it fast. If that spot treatment or anti-inflammatory serum isn’t working after a week of diligent slathering, it’s banished from your top shelf. Guilty?
I don’t blame you. Instant gratification rules all these days, so it’s tough to have patience for most things, like nabbing that spot in SoulCycle or waiting for the next season of your fave show—let alone complexion woes. But when it comes to skin care, switching it up all the time could be doing much more harm than good.
“People think, ‘Oh, this isn’t working—I’ll try this instead,'” says Marie Veronique Nadeau, chemist and founder of her eponymous skin-care line. “Your skin is not happy with that. It’s not a good approach for a healthy glow.”
“It takes 28 days for your skin to do its natural process.”
That’s why the ol’ saying rings true when it comes to your beauty routine: Consistency is key. And, in this case, there’s science behind it—your skin takes a specific amount of time in order to do its thing. Just short of a month, to be exact.
“It takes 28 days for your skin to do its natural process,” says Debra Jaliman, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist. “That means the different layers are peeling off to exfoliate and then renew themselves over that time period.”
So it’s key to adjust your beauty routine to your skin’s biological clock rather than rush it. “[To rush it] is just not how nature works,” says Nadeau. Sigh.
Keep reading to learn how to work with your complexion, not against it—and get your best skin ever.
Continually tossing one seemingly ineffective product for another can create long-term issues. Think of it like working out—just exercising for one day isn’t going to get you into tip-top shape.
Nadeau notes that the constant switch up between serums and lotions can even potentially wreak havoc with your immune system response. Plus, Dr. Jaliman notes that stopping and starting different skin-care regimens doesn’t let you figure out if the products really work or not.
“People start to see problems like breakouts or redness and think a product’s not right for them,” says Nadeau. “What’s happening is you’re seeing abnormal cells being pushed out by healthier cells, which might not look like what you were hoping for. The skin can remedy a lot of things but you’ve got to give it a break.” Otherwise, it’ll get inflamed (which isn’t what anyone wants).
It may not be what you want to hear—stick with a product regimen and wait for it to work on its own time—but think about the positives. Namely, all of the time (and money!) you’ll save on shopping for an alternative that may or may not work faster. (Pro tip: It probably won’t.)
“Whatever you’re using, figure that your skin cells have started their progress on their way to the surface,” says Nadeau. “If you’ve used a product for a week, that means they’ve started to make that march—but they’ve got to get through that process of eliminating the not-so-healthy cells, and you don’t want to speed that up.”
