As unfair as it might be, most non–medical professionals, like you and me, simply expect dermatologists to have picture-perfect skin. And nine times out of 10, they do — but not without putting the work in. Sure, some dermatologists might be blessed with naturally cooperative complexions, but countless others struggle with common skin woes, like acne and eczema, just like the rest of us. Perhaps you’re wondering: Well, can’t they just use their fancy-schmancy in-office services to sort out their issues?
The answer is yes, sometimes. It definitely helps to have access to treatments like lasers, peels, and the laundry list of injectables available, but every dermatologist will tell you that determining — and sticking to — a core routine that caters to your skin type is crucial in order to maintain optimal skin health. After speaking with six top aestheticians about their tried-and-true regimens, I couldn’t help but get curious about how other skin experts care for their own complexions. So I tapped nine dermatologists to learn more about the products and treatments they use to keep their skin clear and radiant.
Without further ado, find their full skin-care routines — including the drugstore cleanser four of them swear by — below.
