Dr. Jami Reaves' Top Skincare Products

The products you use have a big impact on the health and appearance of your skin. Here are my favorite picks:

• Lotion: Del-Ray Sorbolene cream is excellent for dry skin. Cetaphil, Vanicream, and CeraVe are also good choices.
• Soap: Bar cleansers contain much less alcohol than body washes, so they are more hydrating. I like Cetaphil and Lever 2000.
• Shaving cream: Aveeno makes great products that work well for most people, including those with sensitive skin or coarse hair.
• Facial cleanser: Purpose is a good choice for normal skin. Patients with dry or acne-prone skin should see a dermatologist for advice.
• Acne treatment: Products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are the best over-the-counter choices. Prescription agents are usually more effective.
• Sunscreen: Choose a broad-spectrum formula with an SPF of 30 or higher. My favorites are Neutrogena Ultra Sheer because it doesn't feel greasy and the new product line from Sun Bum.
