There are so many skin care products on the market that it can be difficult to know which to buy. Everyone has different needs for their skin, depending on the oiliness, texture, color, and more. It’s easy to waste money on lots of products while you try to find the ones that work best for you, but it’s often a better idea to choose high-quality products recommended by an expert. At Hillelson-Whipple Clinic in Richmond, VA, we offer a wide range of professional-quality products to incorporate into your beauty regimen. We are always expanding our skin care lines, and only offer products we know will benefit our patients and help promote beautiful skin. Most importantly, we have Iridesse. Iridesse is an ultra-luxurious and well-researched skin care line developed by Dr. Ruth Hillelson. It is all-natural and both preventative and rejuvenating.
Benefits of Professional-Quality Skin Care
Top-quality products are especially recommended following skin treatments at our offices. After receiving the rejuvenating benefits of a treatment like Thermage or Tri-Pollar, moisturizers and sun protection rich in vitamins and minerals can help improve and preserve the results of the treatment for beautiful, youthful skin. Even if you’re not planning to undergo a professional skin procedure, medical-grade products can help give your skin a youthful glow and greater vibrancy.

Skin Care Consultation
If you’d like more information about skin treatments and products, a skin care consultation can be a great way to learn more about your skin and the products that could help you achieve your goals. During a consultation, Dr. Hillelson can go over options for treatment and recommended products for your skin type, and help you decide what will benefit your skin the most. This will give you an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how to care for your skin properly. Additionally, our staff is always happy to help answer any questions you may have in person, over the phone or by email.
Skin Care Products FAQ
Why is sun protection so important?
Skin cancer is just one of the many reasons it’s so important to keep your skin protected from the sun, using sunglasses, protective clothing, and sunscreen. The ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun also cause premature aging and pigmentation problems like freckles, brown spots, and more severe hyperpigmentation. Skin that has been tanned and exposed to the sun many times over the years often takes on a leathery, brown appearance and the skin begins to sag early on.
I have very oily skin. Should I use a moisturizer?
Absolutely. Using a quality moisturizer can even help reduce the oil levels in your skin because the moisturizer is not allowing the skin to dry out. When skin becomes dry, oil production speeds up and you’re left with oily skin. A professional-grade moisturizer is a helpful tool in controlling oily skin.
How do antioxidants and peptides help skin?
These powerful components help prevent aging, including wrinkling and sagging skin, and are very good for overall skin health. You won’t find peptides and antioxidants in many drugstore products, but professional-grade skin care lines usually have many products using these ingredients.
Can I use a moisturizer/sunblock and not have to apply additional sun protection?
While moisturizers with SPF capabilities are wonderful, you won’t want to apply them as often as you need to apply sunblock. It is generally recommended that you supplement your sunblock moisturizer with a high-quality dedicated sunscreen to help protect your skin further.
I have sensitive skin. Is it better for me to use professional-grade products?
Yes, using professional products is a great choice for someone with sensitive skin. Many drugstore products have irritants in them that can trigger skin problems in sensitive skin. For this reason, your skin will probably react better to a high-quality formula from a professional source.
