Dr. Naomi Brooks understands that there is a need for customized skincare for different types of skin. Drugstore and department store products can have a number of extra ingredients or irritants, as well as lower quantities of necessary active ingredients, which is why she offers a curated selection of skincare products at her Boise, Idaho practice.
Face
Tretinoin
This is a topical prescription-strength vitamin A cream that treats acne, age spots, and wrinkles. Tretinoin works by stimulating collagen to reduce fine lines and regenerate new skin cells to improve skin texture, fade dark spots, and improve acne.
Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone is a topical physician-grade skin-lightening agent used to treat uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and melasma on the face.
Eyes
EltaMD® Renew Eye Gel
This eye gel contains an oil-free formula that can improve the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. Peptides and naturally derived extracts help support the skin matrix to slow down the aging process and develop brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Sunscreens
EltaMD® sunscreens contain transparent (i.e., unlikely to result in a white cast) zinc oxide, with broad-spectrum protection (UVA and UVB) of SPF 30 or above. The products are lightweight, fragrance-free, paraben-free, noncomedogenic, and safe on sensitive skin. They are also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
A daily facial sunscreen for skin that is prone to acne, rosacea, and/or hyperpigmentation that contains the anti-inflammatory ingredient niacinamide (vitamin B3) as well as hyaluronic and lactic acids. The oil-free formulation helps calm and protect the skin, and can be worn alone or under makeup.
UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40
A daily lightweight moisturizing sunscreen suitable for normal, combination skin, and for post-procedural use. Its hyaluronic acid moisture reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
UV physical
A daily sunscreen for extra-sensitive skin types and for post-procedural use. It contains chemical-free active ingredients (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), is water-resistant up to 40 minutes, and is lightly tinted to give your skin a subtle glow. Its antioxidants can neutralize free radicals associated with infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
UV Pure Broad-Spectrum SPF 47 (for face & body)
Daily sunscreen for the face and body that has chemical-free active ingredients (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). Ideal for adults and children, the sunscreen is water-resistant up to 80 minutes.
