PharmD reads the label
At-home facials after 40: what it does and who it's for.
As estrogen drops, skin gets drier, cell turnover slows, and pores can look more noticeable. Regular exfoliation and hydration help, and that's exactly what this device is built to do, on your schedule.
How the routine works
- Prep: DePuffi on warm to soften skin.
- Cleanse: Derm Detox gel as a 3-minute mask.
- Extract: water in the tank, and the tip exfoliates and suctions.
- Hydrate: swap in Hydro Infuse and repeat.
- Depuff: DePuffi on cold to finish.

Before you buy
- Using tretinoin or another retinoid? Pause exfoliating treatments for a few days around use, or ask your dermatologist.
- Rosacea, eczema, active breakouts or broken skin? Check with your dermatologist first.
- Wear sunscreen afterward. AHAs make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
- Start slow. Once a week is plenty while your skin adjusts.

A PharmD note: devices help, but daily sunscreen is still the best anti-aging step there is. If you're not sure where to start, my free doctor questions guide can help you have that conversation.
