I have been trying three different cleansers form the Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula - otherwise known as DDF.

DDF is a dermatologist skin care line from Dr. Howard Sobel, the renowned New York City dermatologist and dermatologic cosmetic surgeon who has been a leader in his field for more than 25 years. Dr. Sobel combines modern technology with cosmetic skin care.  Dr. Sobel was one of the first Doctor’s to pioneer this union of cosmetic dermatology and topical skin care when he founded this skin care company.

The DDF Cleansers are made specifically to address the needs of different types of skin. I have been testing the DDF Cellular Cleansing Complex, DDF Glycolic 5% Exfoliating Wash and the DDF Non-Drying Gentle Cleanser.

DDF Cellular Cleansing Complex

“A luxurious, hydrating daily cleanser formulated with enzymatic exfoliators.  Sweeps away make-up and impurities while retaining essential moisture.”

I really like the thicker cream of this and the smell is quite nice. I find that it does not lather at all, it just sort of melts away dirt and makeup, leaving my skin feeling fresh, clean and not dry at all.

DDF Glycolic 5% Exfoliating Wash

“A combination of ultra-pure glycolic acid blended with skin conditioners to sweep away dirt and debris.  Minimizes appearance of fine lines and look of pores while increasing overall skin radiance.”

This is a gel wash that does have a bit of a foaming action. It is heavily scented with a menthol like smell, which can be refreshing, if you don’t mind the heavy smell. This cannot be used around the eyes, so an eye makeup remover is needed in addition to this one for removing eye makeup at the end of the day. This wash leaves my face feeling extraordinarily clean and fresh, but I have been using it just once or twice a week.

DDF Non-Drying Gentle Cleanser

“A gentle cleanser specially suited for dry or mature skin types.  Effectively removes impurities and environmental pollutants.  A unique cocktail of humectants provides superior moisture-retaining properties helping to leave skin moist and hydrated.”

Out of all of the DDF Cleansers I am trying, I think this is my favorite. This is a thicker cream than the Cellular Cleansing Complex, and it coats my skin and seems to almost melt into my skin as it removes makeup and such. There is virtually no smell to this one, and I really appreciate how moisturized my face feels after using it. It is perfect for night time when more moisture is needed to lock in with a night cream overnight.

There are five more cleansers in the DDF line-up, but I think I picked the best of the bunch for my skin care needs. Visit the site to order online or see which cleanser might be best for you. If you give one a try or are a user of the DDF products, let me know in the comments.

If anything will help me get rid of my discolorations (currently obsessed with getting rid of some on my forehead and hands) this looks to be a system worth spending on.

DDF Discoloration Reversal-Pod is a pod that is to be used individually, each day for 28 days. Yes, there are 28 pods to the package, and the one month’s worth will cost $70.

Targeted treatment to reclaim the natural radiance of more youthful skin. Hydrates and exfoliates to reduce the appearance of discoloration and dullness on areas where hyperpigmentation occurs. Special Pod delivery system gently exfoliates top layer of skin and allows deep surface penetration of Micro-Radiance Complex™ for maximum results.

I am so ready to go to the Doctor for help with my fading of my age/sun spots, but I am thinking I might just take one last shot with this.

Has anyone used this and what were your results?
