Dr. Brandt was also the world\u2019s foremost leader in injectables, and he revolutionized the industry when he began using them in new and unconventional ways for resculpting areas of the face and neck. Today, the line of Dr. Brandt Skincare products provides solutions for acne, hyperpigmentation, large pores, oily skin, mature skin, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the best selling Dr. Brandt Skincare products?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare offers products for every step of your skincare routine, including cleansers, primers, creams, serums, exfoliants, masks, treatments, and more. Since there are too many products to cover in one review, we\u2019ll focus on a few of the best selling Dr. Brandt Skincare products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First up is Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer. This silky primer dries to a matte finish and can be used on its own, as a makeup base, or over makeup for midday touch-ups. It is said to instantly minimize the appearance of pores, lines, and imperfections while simultaneously absorbing excess oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Needles No More No More Baggage is another best selling Dr. Brandt Skincare product. This eye solution is said to quickly minimize the look of under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles while preserving a youthful appearance over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by Dr. Brandt\u2019s in-office microdermabrasion procedures, the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator is an at-home solution to brighten and smooth the skin while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is a rinse-off scrub that is recommended to be used only one to two times per week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key Dr. Brandt Skincare ingredients?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at the key ingredients in the best selling Dr. Brandt Skincare products to see if these products really live up to their claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer<\/strong> contains oil-absorbing spheres that mattify the skin and diffuse light to instantly minimize the appearance of pores, expression lines, and wrinkles. There is also a unique botanical in this primer called Trifolium pratense (red clover) flower extract that helps shrink the look of pores over time by rebalancing skin conditions responsible for pore enlargement. Lastly, Dr. Brandt Pores No More primer includes a derivative of salicylic acid (capryloyl salicylic acid) that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and oil build-up within pores, smooths the skin\u2019s surface, and calms irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Needles No More\u00a0 Baggage<\/strong> was inspired by a second-skin technology developed at MIT called Filmatrix Technology. Made of algae and plant extracts, this technology forms an invisible, second-skin film that tightens the appearance of the eye contour for a visually smoother look just minutes after application. The ingredients that help to improve the look of the eye area over time include peptides, caffeine, gotu kola extract, birch bark extract, and green and white tea extracts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ALTERNATIVES:\u00a0<\/strong>If you are concerned about aging around the eyes , one product we recommend is <\/span>Carrot & Stick The Eye Cream<\/a> and Carrot & Stick’s The Eye Serum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator<\/strong> includes aluminum oxide crystals, which function as a physical exfoliant to help to remove the top layers of dead skin cells. The formula also includes a chemical exfoliant: lactic acid. Lactic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the stratum corneum) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin and a more even complexion. Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator also contains several anti-inflammatory ingredients, including jojoba oil, aloe vera leaf extract, grape seed extract, chamomile extract, and green tea leaf extract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ALTERNATIVES: <\/strong>We recommend Carrot & Stick The Micro Polish Exfoliator<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>It exfoliates built-up layers of dead skin cells to reveal the younger, more vibrant-looking skin beneath. It unplugs pores and brightens the complexion without irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Wrinkle Release Serum <\/strong>is designed to target expression lines. While it contains a botanicals and healthy skin ingredients, it is missing powerful ingredients like peptide, growth factors and retinol.<\/p>\n

Alternatives:\u00a0<\/strong>Carrot & Stick The Repair Serum<\/a>. It contains 7 plant-based peptides to help promote smoother looking skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is Dr. Brandt Skincare sold?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare is sold on the brand\u2019s website, as well as third party online sellers such as Sephora, Ulta, HSN, Amazon, and more. There is also a store locator on the brand\u2019s website so that you can find a retail location that sells Dr. Brandt Skincare products near you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Dr. Brandt Skincare cruelty free?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare is not cruelty free. Dr. Brandt sells its products in mainland China where animal testing is still required by law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare reviews<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare reviews on the brand\u2019s website are overall very positive, with most products receiving 4 or 5 star ratings. Positive reviews for the Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer rave about the silky finish, the smooth texture, and the ability of this primer to disguise pores.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare reviews for the Needles No More No More Baggage mention that the product works instantly (as it is claimed to do) to minimize the appearance of bags, puffiness, and dark circles. However, we couldn\u2019t find reviews commenting on whether or not this product provides long-term benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brandt Skincare reviews for the Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator mention that it helps the skin to feel very smooth and clean, and that the crystals in this product do not feel harsh. The only negative Dr. Brandt Skincare reviews are concerning the price of these products.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Best Alternatives?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for skincare products to address the signs of aging, we recommend Carrot & Stick<\/a>. Carrot & Stick maximizes the use of powerful ingredients and minimizes the use of superficial ones, resulting in advanced skincare solutions that help promote healthy, more youthful-looking skin. We recommend the Day & Night Routine<\/a> or Complete Collection.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
