13 Best New Beauty Launches of October: Reviewed
Launch date: September 15
Confession: RescueMD’s DNA Repair Complex is one of my favorite skincare products, possibly…ever. I’ve used it consistently for over a year, and it has drastically improved the look of my dark spots. After having my first baby one and a half years ago, I also used the DNA Repair Complex on my stomach to treat scarring from belly tape (which I no longer have traces of thanks to this). The secret is in lapachol , the brand’s main ingredient found in the lapacho tree’s bark which helps calm redness and inflammation.
Lapachol is also bottled up into the body cream formula, which also contains rice proteins, rosemary extract, and sunflower extract, and it’s made to hydrate the skin while treating uneven texture and pigmentation. Like the face serum I love dearly, the body cream is lightweight, non-greasy, melts into the skin very quickly, and leaves it feeling naturally soft. It’s designed to be used from the neck down, so you can use it all over your body or concentrate on a specific area (like the legs or stomach if you have scarring or discoloration). I, personally, will be concentrating this on the back of my arms, where I have hyperpigmentation from keratosis pilaris.
Yes, the price tag is very steep for a body cream. Still, if you’re committed to treating any specific concerns like scars, texture, or hyperpigmentation, it might be worth saving your coins for a personal splurge (hey, the holiday season is coming, so you have the perfect excuse).
