2. It’s not what you see,
it’s what you don’t see.
Eighty percent of your skin’s aged appearance is caused by
the sun, not the passage of time. The damage caused by UV
exposure is not only visible on your face, but lurks under the
skin’s surface, making your complexion appear dull, sallow,
uneven, and aged. Much of this evidence of environmental
aging is both preventable and reversible.
We created the Rodan + Fields® REVERSE Regimen as a simple,
full-face solution that tackles both the damage below the
surface and the visible pigmentation that is the result of years
of incidental sun exposure. The REVERSE Regimen exfoliates
dulling dead skin cells, lightens unwanted pigmentation, evens
skin tone, brightens the overall complexion, and protects
against further UV damage, visibly improving the appearance
of environmentally aged skin.
3. How Does the REVERSE Regimen Work?
Based on Multi-Med® Therapy, REVERSE is a complete
skincare system that combines prescription medicines at
non-prescription strength with active cosmetic ingredients to
repair and protect hyper-pigmented, sun-damaged skin. By
combining the right ingredients, in the right formulations,
and using them in the right order, the regimen:
L
ightens excessive darkness, brown spots, and uneven pigment.
B
rightens dull skin, improves tone and texture, and boosts
skin’s radiance.
Exfoliates skin to remove complexion-dulling dead skin cells.
P
rotects against free radical damage and provides prolonged
UVA and UVB sunscreen protection.
4. REVERSE Results
With regular use, the REVERSE Regimen reveals a smoother, brighter, BEFORE TREATMENT AFTER TREATMENT
even-toned complexion; improvement is often experienced with
the first use. For some people, one cycle of the REVERSE Regimen is
sufficient to restore the brightness of their skin. For significant
hyper-pigmentation, it may take 2-6 months before maximum even-
ness of skin color is achieved. Once you’ve achieved your desired POLAROID
results, you may transition to another Rodan + Fields Multi-Med
Therapy regimen and may always return to using the REVERSE
Regimen if your skin becomes dull or spots begin to reappear.
