Skincare Regimen

At Summerlin Dermatology, we believe that great skin starts with a personalized, consistent skincare regimen. Whether you’re looking to address fine lines, acne, dryness, or sun damage, the right combination of medical-grade skincare products and professional treatments can make a significant difference. A well-rounded skincare routine should cleanse, hydrate, and protect while incorporating targeted treatments for your specific skin type and concerns.

What Is a Skincare Regimen?

A skincare regimen is a structured routine of applying cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens in a specific order to protect and nourish your skin. The most effective regimen includes three essential steps:


  • Cleansing – Removes dirt, oil, and impurities.

  • Moisturizing – Hydrates and supports the skin barrier.

  • Protecting – Sunscreen shields against UV damage and aging.


A personalized skincare plan also incorporates targeted treatments like antioxidant serums, retinol, or exfoliants based on your needs. The right combination of at-home care and in-office treatments ensures optimal results for long-term skin health.

Signs That You Need a Better Skincare Regimen

If you experience any of the following, your current routine may need adjustments or expert recommendations:


  • Persistent dryness, flakiness, or irritation.

  • Acne breakouts, blackheads, or clogged pores.

  • Uneven skin tone, dark spots, or hyperpigmentation.

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin firmness.

  • Your skincare products aren’t delivering noticeable improvements.


A professional skin analysis at Summerlin Dermatology can help identify gaps in your regimen and recommend solutions to restore your skin’s natural balance.

How to Build an Effective Skincare Routine

A morning routine should focus on protection and hydration, while an evening routine supports repair and renewal.


Morning Routine – Prepping and Protecting Your Skin

  1. Cleanse – Removes overnight oil buildup.

  2. Tone (Optional) – Helps balance skin pH and enhance hydration.

  3. Treat – Apply antioxidant serums (like Vitamin C) to brighten and protect.

  4. Moisturize – Hydrate with a lightweight moisturizer.

  5. Sunscreen – Broad-spectrum SPF 40+ is essential every day.


Evening Routine – Repairing and Rejuvenating

  1. Double Cleanse – Oil-based cleanser followed by a gentle facial cleanser.

  2. Exfoliate (2-3x per week) – AHA/BHA or enzyme exfoliation removes dead skin.

  3. Targeted Treatments – Retinol, hyaluronic acid, or peptides based on your skin concerns.

  4. Moisturize – Hydrate with a rich night cream or hydrating serum.


Professional Skincare & Treatments

In addition to a consistent at-home routine, professional treatments can enhance results:


  • HydraFacialMD® – Deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates.

  • Chemical Peels – Reduces fine lines and brightens complexion.

  • Microneedling – Stimulates collagen for anti-aging benefits.

  • IPL Photofacial – Treats sun damage, redness, and hyperpigmentation.


For optimal skin health, regular dermatology visits and customized facials can help fine-tune your regimen.

A proper skincare regimen includes a balance of at-home maintenance and professional treatments for the best results.
