DO NOT mess with the Elizabeth Arden formulation - go straight to the MD strength (1% idebenone). Well, I actually shoudl say obtain a sample and conduct a skin patch test first because it is so strong that some people actually have a reaction. I use it twice a day after cleansing/toning and applying a serum/treatment. After the Prevage MD I place on my sunscreen. Occasionally throughout the day I will actually reapply to refresh my skin. Other than my retinoid(I use generic) this is the product that I absolutely see results with. I have tried other companies products with idebenone, but Allergan got it right with this one - the idebenone is stable and the packaging protects it from the light and degradation. YOu can but ther ocmpanies but with tehirs you pay for the expertise and how they figured out to get it right - same goes with Botox which they sell/manufacture. They just know how to di it! The other interesting aspect is the longer I have used it I continue to see results. I had to use it for about 4 weeks to start seeing impact. FYI, the rest of the Allergan skin product line did nada for me - same goes for any of teh other Prevage products - eye cream, day cream, etc. OKay, I am a HUGE skeptic with expensive skin products, but I have to admit I am addicted to PREVAGE MD.
