 FROM THE EXPERT: “Because I’ve had sensitive skin my entire life, I’ve always developed my products with an eye to delicate complexions,” explains Dr. Patricia Wexler. “However, my new Anti-Aging Sensitive Skin collection is the first developed expressly for sensitive skin, with the added benefit of the potent anti-aging effects Wexler fans have come to expect. Now there’s no reason to compromise when it comes to treating sensitive skin.” 


The Anti-Aging Sensitive Skin collection was created to calm and soothe the visible signs of sensitive skin while reversing the signs of aging with the following key ingredients:
  • Sym-Calming, derived from active components of oat is a potent anti-irritant that instantly calms and soothes skin.
  • Sym-Relief Redness Reducing Complex, a botanical blend of chamomilebisabol, and ginger, works at the cellular level to alleviate visible skin sensitivity.
  • Dr. Wexler’s patented Skin Regenerating MMPi-20 technology inhibits the production of harmful MMPs that cause fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and blemishes.
  • Dragosine Anti-Aging Peptide works synergistically with MMPi to boost collagen synthesis.
  • Avantage Anti-Oxidant Complex, is an exclusive Wexler combination including clove and green tea, provides comprehensive antioxidant protection.

Upon first use, the Anti-Aging Sensitive Skin regimen instantly calms and soothes as it relieves redness, leaving skin looking and feeling smoother, softer, and more even.
