Product Description

From Dr. Leslie Baumann, a world-renowned dermatologist, comes a program that’s revolutionizing the way people everywhere think about–and shop for–skin care. Now you can identify and buy the products that are right for your true skin type. Answer the Baumann questionnaire inside this book and within minutes you can learn…

As everyone knows, all skin is not created equal. But whereas previous books identified only four basic skin types, through her cutting-edge clinical research in Miami Beach, Dr. Leslie Baumann discovered that there are actually sixteen distinctly different skin types–each with unique needs all its own. But caring for your skin doesn’t have to be complicated. As Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Dr. Baumann has tested her program on thousands of patients, developing a system that is already transforming dermatology. Now her proven program is available to you. You’ll discover:

• Your personal skin type profile detailing exactly what will work–and what won’t–for your unique complexion

• An extensive product guide to name brands suited to every skin type and budget, including cleansers, moisturizers, toners, sun blocks, foundations, and much more

• Natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin

• Tips on preventing skin aging and “problem” skin

• The latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections

So take the questionnaire, discover your type, and find the products you need to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune. With this book in hand, you’ll save time, money–and something even more valuable: your skin.


From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews

Not helpful
I would not recommend this book. In my opinion the author is a megaphone for department stores. All the products she suggested can irritate and make the reader's skin worse. She never suggested any natural or organic products.
Excellent information for improving skincare
This is an excellent book. It provides very useful information on the different ingredients to use and to avoide for each skintype. After reading it, I discovered the reason for the pimples on my cheeck might have been caused the irritating ingredients in my makeup.

I also really like the fact that she discuss ethnical difference in reactions to skincare products. I am an Asian and it is really helpful to know how some of the lightening and acne treatment in the U.S. may not work for my skin.

The only suggestion is to make the product recommendation list more updated. Some of the recommendations cannot be found in stores anymore.
The Skin Type Solution
An excellent book. It gives you a lot of information. Make sure you take the test in the beginning. I didn't and I was making
wrong decisions until I did take the test. You can save money too. That counts in todays economy.
Review of Skin Type Solution
This is my 2nd purchase of this book. I gave this book as a gift and the recipient really enjoyed the gift. If she uses it as much as I do, it is more than worth the price. I was very pleased with the condition and the service from the vendor and will do business with them in the future.
love this book!
This is the coolest book! it helps you figure out exactly what your skin type is and then recommends the best products you could use specifically for your skin. Has great advice, I definitely recommend it!

Product Details

  • Evens skin tone, minimizing areas of discoloration

Product Description

Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20

Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1

Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2

Choosing a Peel:

Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25%  thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.

Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.

Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.

Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.

BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.

HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.


Customer Reviews

I don't know what this is, but it is not 35%
My friend has this and I tried using it. As someone who goes to get 35% peels at my local derm, let me tell you this stuff is not nearly as strong as what I get done there. I do NOT have sensitive skin and I'm the only one in my own circle of friends who can handle a 35% strength peel for a whole 4 MINUTES at the derm before bleeding occurs (in spots where there are acne). Like I said I don't have sensitive skin so a little bleeding is fine with me. I put this stuff on my face and 10 minutes later my skin was not irritated at all. Maybe they meant the entire BOTTLE was 35%. And some reviewers are stating that they aren't even peeling. All in all, I like the stuff, but it doesn't replace my regular out of home treatments.
Have had it on 30 mins and it doesnt hurt as bad as people say!
I have mild acne except when its that time of month and I have blackheads that are almost impossible for me to get rid of. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing has ever worked. My mom started doing chemical peels to help with wrinkles so I did a little research and found this peel. Granted she does the tca peel I was not willing to go that deep and decided to try this one. It burns a little at first but nothing I couldnt handle I have never left it on shorter than 5 minutes. I have it on now and its been on for about 30. I am about to go put a second layer on. It hurts less the longer its on as the first few seconds hurt the worst but even that is nothing as far as pain goes and Im not one to handle pain easily which is why I wont dare try the tca peel even though I know it works wonders lol. But this peel does clear up any acne I have and does make my pores easier to manage although I dont do it often enough for them to go away completely i am hoping that increased use will make them clear up completely. It is a good product to buy and it will help. The pain is not near as bad as some of the other reviews have said as I have had it on for awhile now and I cant feel a thing.
Awesome!
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and have been using it every 4-5 days. It's weird, you put it on and you immediately feel it tingling but afterwards your skin doesn't "peel". I'd say after the second use I did notice new skin that was brighter and not dullish looking like the surrounding skin (I used it on my nose). I would say the best benefits of this are that it rejuvenates your skin AND closes your pores. The pores on my nose are significantly smaller than they have ever been. Reduces blackheads as well.
Good product
I was really pleased with how quickly this item came, and I've been using it for some weeks now and it seems to be clearing up hyperpigmentation well. I'd recommend it to others.
peel satisfaction

I am very pleased with the results I got from using the glycolic peel. It was not harsh on my skin and I was able to use it twice a week for two weeks, after that I took it down to once a week and then
twice a month.

It also worked really well for my blackheads. My face feels and looks smooth.

Skin System
Love the whole ROC set. My skin feels great! I have heard ROC had good skin care system and I would agree.
sceptic
Very pleased with Roc, the money I've shelled out over the years, plastic surgery would have cost less, this product has now results not 4 to 6 weeks.I love it!!! and has a very light pleasant smell, over 40 ladies this really takes 10 years off.
Love it!
I have been using this for about three weeks and I already notice a huge difference. I had some pigmentation and acne scars and this has made my skin look brighter and more even toned. The day cream isin't greasy and it doesn't make me break out. I am going to buy another when this one runs out.
Good products
This is the first time I am using ROC products. I can say they are really good. My skin is softer and I am noticing less brown spots.

TOPS, FOR THE PRICE!
Believe me, this stuff is the best you can get, without a prescription! It is right up there, in the same league as RETIN-A. I know how this works; I am a Biochemist! Regenerist stimulates Collagen growth, both in the upper layers of the epidermis and underneath the skin.

I've used this serum for years - it works
I'm 57 and I've been using this serum for at least 6 years. I love the fact that Olay eventually came out with this fragrance-free version, that in itself is a huge selling point for me. And it works! Most people think I'm at least 15 years younger than I really am. I have a few very fine wrinkles only when I squint, and that's it.

I am a normal-to-dry skin type in the winter and normal during the other seasons. This serum really helps keep my skin hydrated with the harsh winter winds, and in the summer sometimes this is all I need as a moisturizer if I'm not going to be outdoors - otherwise I also apply a high SPF product if I plan on being outside.

Yes, the silicones in this help with the dryness and they also help to blur the fine lines. I also use a dab of this on my crows feet. But you may need to watch out if you have a problem with milia. I occasionally get a few, but I do with just about every other product I have tried so it doesn't matter what I use. I like the results with this; I've tried other brands without the "cones" and they just don't work for me.

This serum contains many ingredients that are beneficial to your skin such as peptides, niacinamide, several vitamins and green tea, which are often found in much higher priced beauty products.

Pros: Hydrating; almost instant blurring of wrinkles due to the silicones; great ingredients; no discernable fragrance.

Cons: The silicones can cause milia occasionally; Olay tests on animals and this bothers me & I wish they would find another way to test their products before putting them on the market -- other companies do, why can't Olay?

I recommend this for anyone with normal or normal-to-dry skin. If you have a problem with acne, probably not, but maybe if you are brave enough, you could do a test first.

it really, really works!
To begin let me tell your that I am 29 years old, but I never took care of my skin when I was younger; I was involved in sports and never used sunscreen or any moisturizer and let me tell you that all that was reflected on my face. My skin is difficult (I have mild wrinkles, my skin is losing up and some parts of my face are oily while others are dried). Before I tried this serum nothing worked very well on my face. I tried every product that you can imagine(even derma e that has great reviews) without seeing results. Now I am so excited to see what this serum is doing to my face. This serum sure does ALL what it promises:regenerates skin,makes it glow of youth, not greasy, and mildly restores elasticity. I saw results on my first application. Oh, and the microdermabrasion and peel kit system is exellent too. I highly recommend this product!

SIMPLY THE BEST
I have been using OLAY REGENERIST for about 10 years and without a doubt it is the best anti-aging product for the price. I just turned 60 and everyone tells me that my skin looks like someone who is more like 40. Can't recommend this enough. I stopped being ripped off years ago by not buying into all the hype about expensive products. It just puts more money in the cosmetic companies and less money in my pocket. This is as good as it gets!
Love my skin!
I love the way Regenerist products keep my skin so clear! Being able to get it cheaper through Amazon is a bonus!

Nothing New
The tips in this book is very general - and they are probably nothing you don't already know... always use sun screen, drink lots of water, eat a balance diet and exercise, use products that are gentle to your skin. And what's really annoying is every other page there is a patient's endorsement of the author/doctor's own line of skin care products. I've learned nothing new from this book.
wonderful review for how to care for your skin!
I read this book because I was at a loss for why my skin had taken a turn for the worse. I had always had healthy, radiant skin and all of the sudden I was getting breakouts, dry patches, oily patches, and noticeable sun damage despite my use of SPF 30 each day before putting on my makeup. I am only 28-year-old and want my face to continue to look young and radiant instead of going downhill, so I read the advice in this book and although most of it is common knowledge, it reminded me of some things that I had forgotten. The simple CEAMP system reminds me daily how to properly care for my skin without cutting any corners, and I have noticed a HUGE difference in the past month of following the advice outlined. My wrinkles and pores are minimized, my dry patches are gone, my oily patches are gone, my two age spots are less noticeable, and my skin looks and feels clear, healthy, radiant, and soft. I even cut down on the products I was using on my skin, which is saving me money! I now cleanse with Cetaphil face cleanser each morning and night, use an alpha hydroxy toner, and then moisturize with a Vit A/Retinol lotion at night and with an SPF lotion during the day. The book also recommends using vitamin lotions (Vit C and E), but I get enough of this in my diet that I don't need to apply it topically. Also, the book recommends both moisturizing and protecting with SPF, but I just do this in one step to save time since I'm a busy mom and student. Great book! If I had more money, I would be tempted to try her product line, too :)
A Sales Pitch
This book is basically a sales pitch for the author's own line of skin care products. There is some good information in the book, but it could have been better organized and the author could have given more information about products available at the local drugstore instead of pushing her own products every other page.
Skin Workout
The elbow test draws you into the book. I like that the authors makes a statement that they are not trying to push anything "that haven't been thoroughly tested" p12. This book talks about everything i.e. anti-aging creams, exfoliation, scar prevention for nicks and cuts, and skin cancer. There are topics for men too which is rare in topics discussing skin. Additionally, on p76 Parabens is mentioned in regards to reading the labels, but I was unclear of the authors' opinion if it is good for your face or not. I just noticed that more and more products are purposely mentioning "parabens-free" on their labels. This book was copyrighted in 2007 and IMO that it is a missed opportunity that parabens was mentioned briefly in this book.

Overall, it has been a year since I read he book and I used a few ideas which has changed the way my skin feels since the first time I took the elbow test.
