New & improved: Rodan + Fields Redefine line
Okay, so it’s no lie that I get a lot of skincare products and when it comes to reviewing skincare items, it’s usually not just a one and done kind of deal. With skincare, you really have to use the products to see how they work on your skin over time.
A while ago I received the Rodan + Fields Redefine line, which is their anti-aging regimen (you can read my post on it here), and although I didn’t use this religiously every morning and night, I used it probably 70 per cent of the time and actually finished the daytime cream prior to coming to Montreal. Overall, I really liked how the line made my skin look and feel and since I only got the set, which includes the exfoliating cleanser, toner, and day and night cream, I wished I got the opportunity to try out the eye cream and a serum to fully complete my routine.
Anyways, a couple months ago I got an email from Rodan + Fields saying that they actually reformulated the Redefine line, and since I enjoyed it the first time around, I was curious to see what was new.
The new formulation includes the advanced technologies and the brand’s unique Multi-Med Therapy approach, which addresses all major signs of aging in one regimen. In addition to a new formula, they have also added new products to the line, which allows for a more custom routine.
So what is this Multi-Med technology? Well, this basically works at the optimal time of day for the best results possible. During the day, the peptides and botanical extracts help to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and the peptides and grape and beet extracts visibly firm skin. At night, the PM products help to sculpt, define, and lift skin thanks to peptide technology and retinoid science.
So why did they decide to reformulate it? Well, the brand took into account feedback from users, as well as the skin needs of different genders, ages, and ethnicities and came up with lotion versions of their AM and PM products, as well as a new foaming cleanser. There are also new formulations of the original tried-and-true products and a couple other additions.
So wanna try this line out but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, I have you covered.
Start first with one of the cleansers. The new reformulated Daily Clay Cleanser (C$53) is a two-in-one cleanser and mask to gently exfoliate and smooth skin, prepping it for the rest of your routine. This cleanser includes kaolin clay to gently exfoliate and soften skin, as well as ectoin, which is new and is a natural amino acid that helps to reduce the look of lines, wrinkles, and boost firmness. Finally, it also includes glyceryl glucoside, which is also new and is a sugar derivative to reduce the look of lines, wrinkles, and boost firmness.
Now if you are looking for something a little more gentle, or don’t want to use an exfoliating cleanser every time you wash your face, then try their new Redefine Daily Foaming Cleanser (C$53). This cleanser gently lathers up and leaves skin soft and supple, while removing daily impurities like dirt and oil. It contains alpha hydroxy acids to gently exfoliate skin for even-tone and texture, as well as ectoin and glyceryl glucoside, both of which reduce the look of lines, wrinkles, and boost firmness.
Next up, use the Pore Refining Toner (C$58), which is now entirely reformulated. This toner softens skin and minimizes the appearance of pores, as well as exfoliates to promote natural cell turnover. It includes Vitamin B3, which is niacinamide to visibly even the appearance of skin tone for a youthful glow, as well as deep sea water which minimizes the appearance of pores. It also includes fruit acids to promote natural cell turnover for smoother skin. I used the old version of this and really liked it as I found it was gentle on the skin and prepped it for the rest of the regimen. The new formula also comes in new packaging.
Now with the regimen (C$255) you get the clay cleanser, the toner, as well as the AM and PM moisturizer.
The Redefine Triple Defense Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (C$104) is a medium-weight moisturizing cream that contains SPF 30 sunscreen. It nourishes skin and helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and firms the skin while also protecting it against UV rays. The new formula contains RF3 Antioxidant Complex, which is a proprietary technology to the brand that defends against daily environmental aggressors for a more youthful appearance. It also has improved peptides to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and firms skin; grape extract to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; beet extract to provide immediate and longer lasting moisture to plump skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
For night time, try the Redefine Overnight Restorative Cream (C$104) which is a rich moisturizing cream that helps to improve the look of fine lines and deep wrinkles, as well as visibly lifting, sculpting, and defining facial contours for younger-looking skin. It also includes their exclusive peptide technology to sculpt and lift, while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as retinoid science, which combines Backuchiol, which is a natural alternative to retinol. It also contains glycolic acid which helps get a more sculpted and smoother-looking appearance, as well as Vitamin B3, a new ingredient to this cream, which evens out the appearance of skin tone for a more youthful glow.
One of the new products I was most excited to try was the Redefine Multi-Function Eye Cream (C$82), which is a new and improved formula to make eyes appear younger. Apply this cream morning and night around the delicate eye area to visibly reduce lines, wrinkles, sagginess, and crow’s feet.
There are a few more products in this line as well that you can buy separate from the set they sell. The big thing about their products are that they are designed to be used together, so if you pick up one, it’s more beneficial to grab the full regimen for the best results.
Have you tried Rodan + Field’s Redefine regimen before?
