Dr. Patricia Wexler on Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda

This morning on the Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda, Dr. Patricia Wexler was talking about at-home alternatives you can purchase if you can’t afford a trip to the dermatologist.

Here are just a few of the products she discussed:

Exfoliation:

• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator: this machine has single-use disposable puffs that are made with ultra-fine crystals and mild purifiers to exfoliate your skin. Priced under $35 (and Free Shipping at Amazon).
• Clarisonic: this machine uses a brush head (that needs to be replaced after ~ 3 months) with different power levels to cleanse and stimulates the skin leaving it feeling and looking smoother. Priced around $200 and available at various department stores and on QVC)

Acne

• Zeno Acne Clearing Device which is a hand-held battery-operated device that stimulates a heat-shock response in p. acnes (the bacteria causing at least 90% of all acne blemishes).
