My Experience with Rodan & Fields Radiant

"Smokey" <SmokeyinNewEngl...@yahooey.com>
I bought the travel sized package of four Rodan & Fields Radiant collection:
Exfoliant Facial Cleanser, Skin Lightening Toner, Skin Lightening Lotion,
and Sunscreen. The Exfoliant Facial Cleanser is not only the most abrasive
cleanser I have ever used, it made my face break out like it hasn't seen I
was in my early teens. The toner doesn't seem much different from water.
The Skin Lightening Lotion feels like Olay Regenerist and doesn't appear to
have lightened any dark spots, although it is hard to tell since my face is
all red and mottled from the cleanser. The sunscreen is like a million
others.
The products are expensive and I wouldn't buy any of them again.

Interesting. I used these products for two months and saw a significant
improvement in my skintone. They are expensive but I think the idea is
that you use it once and that's it. You move on to your regular skin
care routine.

I would think that the travel size package wouldn't last long enough
for a lot of people to see any results. The main bleaching ingredient
from the Radiant line is 2% hydroquinone and everything I've read is
that it takes a few months for this bleaching ingredient (and it's
alternatives like kojic acid) to work. An aesthetician I talked to
said that while the 2% hydroquinone would be good for overall
brightening (all over the face as R+F recommends), you would a higher
strength (higher pecentage) prescription hydroquinone/bleaching agent
from a dermatologist for the dark spots to effectively fade. That and
really good sunscreen to prevent new spots from forming.
Just my $0.02,

I invested in the full sizes of this. I agree about the cleanser –– waaaay to
scrubby for me! I had no problem with the other three products, though, and
actually liked the lotion and sunscreen a lot.
