My 10 Day Challenge with DCL Skincare for Anti Aging

May 6, 2017 Rachel Ferrucci 17 Comments

Most of you know that I’m a beauty junkie! I love product, I love makeup, but most of all, I love to try the products and share my findings with you. I have been on the hunt for anti-aging products because I swear, out of nowhere, there all all kinds of things happening to my skin. Fine lines, sagging skin, and puffy eyes to name a few. When I was asked to take the 10 day challenge with Dermatologic Cosmetic Laboratories (DCL), I was all over it. Of course it helped that when DermWarehouse asked, I was already a fan because they have many of my fave products! DCL skincare

Let’s talk about routine. I pretty much stink at this but over the last year, I have gotten much better. I was sent four products to use daily. I have only been using them for ten days but if I stick with it for twenty one days it will become a habit (a little fun fact).

I even took the product with me for girls weekend and I shared with my BFF.

DCL SKIN RENEWAL COMPLEX SPF 30 (1 FL. OZ.)

After washing my face, I applied the DCL Skin Renewal Complex with SPF 30. I feel it’s very important to have an SPF in your products to protect skin from UVA, UVB and free radical damage. The lotion is very light with a citrus scent. The 10 % dose of glycolic acid helps to calm irritation, retexturize and brighten skin. This angi-aging powerhouse has five benefits in one step.

*Glycolic Acid- Do we really know what this is? A part of a group of active compounds known as AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) which come from sugar cane. Basically it is the smallest molecule able to penetrate skin deeply and easily, making it the most effective for treating fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness, oiliness etc.

$130.00

DCL PEPTIDE PLUS CREAM (1.7 FL. OZ.)
Next I applied the DCL Peptide Plus Cream. If you hold the jar upside down the cream will stay in place. I expected to feel a layer on my face but to my surprise it went on very light with no residue, yet my skin did feel moisturized. When I was younger, I knew I needed a moisturizer but mostly used it so my foundation would go on smooth. Over the years we have found out about different ingredients to look for in products and “peptides” are one of the key ingredients. This helps to diminish the appearance of discoloration and helps to prevent dark spots from developing as well as fine lines and wrinkles. I don’t have the dark spots (yet) but I’m all about reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

*The truth about peptides: A compound of two or more amino acids linked in a chain. Research have shown that peptides have restorative ability for skin, however, products would need to be kept light and air free so they wouldn’t degrade. When a product has a synthetic produced peptide it can be amazing. The DCL Peptide Plus Cream has “clinically active peptides” which means it will not degrade and can address multiple signs of aging. I have definitely seen a difference.

DCL skincare

DCL HYDRA BOOST FINISHING SERUM (1 FL. OZ.)

Next I applied the DCL Hydra Boost Finishing Serum. It could be used alone or over another product. Truthfully, I wasn’t sure if this should go after the peptide Plus Cream but I figured if I can use it over another product I think I have it right. It hydrates, nourishes, and plumps skin. The serum enhances cell turnover while strengthening skin to prevent further damage from the environment. It’s a clear light serum with a light soft scent made for all skin types helping to effectively eases the appearance of lines and wrinkles. I really loved that I could dab this on over my makeup during the day to freshen up my complexion.

When applying products, don’t forget to apply to your neck and décolletage!

$110.00

DCL skincare

DCL C SCAPE HIGH POTENCY NIGHT BOOSTER 30 (1 FL. OZ.)

I love my night products! It brings the meaning of “beauty sleep” to a reality. Remove your makeup and wash your face before applying. The DCL C Scape Night Booster is extremely light with a hint of a scent. Again I was surprised with this. As I applied it felt a little gritty but once I rubbed it in, my skin had a smooth silky feel. The vitamin C-filled, age-preventing, collagen-boosting dynamo restores and rejuvenates your skin while you sleep. Wake with a healthier, more radiant and beautifully uniform complexion.

$120.00

The end result is after 10 days I will continue to use all the products daily. I’m looking forward to seeing my skin after a month.
I’m sharing a before and after picture. You can see a change in my eyes a bit and my skin is less blotchy.

    This looks like a great product line. I like that the DCL Skin Renewal Complex has a SPF 30, I tend to burn easily.

      I have noticed a difference. I’m so used to editing pictures that when I had to do the unedited ones I was cringing at just how many lines I had. They came quick and furious 🙁

    I love beauty reviews. Your before and after photo is so inspiring, and I especially loved that you mention looking for your décolletage, it’s so overlooked and now I’m noticing my age shows there!

    I’m so grateful I’ve had so many reasons to smile throughout my life. Just wish there weren’t so many wrinkles to remind me of the happy times. Need to try this challenge myself.

    I would love to try the The DCL C Scape Night Booster. It has been a while since I had some “beauty sleep.” I think it is about time to have this product and let it work its magic while I sleep.

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
