17 Dec Why Your Skin Routine Should Shift as the Seasons Change
As the weather cools and humidity drops, your skin’s needs begin to shift—and your skin care should, too. The combination of brisk air outside and dry indoor heating can sap moisture and disrupt the skin’s barrier, often leading to flakiness, dullness, or new sensitivities. This seasonal transition is the perfect time to rethink your regimen and incorporate medical-grade products designed to strengthen and restore your complexion from within. RefinedMD offers physician-dispensed lines like Alastin, Revision, and Sente—each clinically backed and formulated to meet your skin where it is right now.
Alastin – Regenerative Peptide Power
Alastin is one of the most scientifically advanced brands available today, relying on its proprietary TriHex Technology to clear out damaged collagen and elastin while stimulating fresh production. The Restorative Skin Complex and Regenerating Skin Nectar are standout formulas for improving elasticity, reducing fine lines, and restoring bounce. A recent study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology found that twice-daily use of Alastin’s peptide complex significantly improved dermal strength, elasticity, and smoothness within twelve weeks. As colder months stress the skin, this regenerative support helps maintain firmness and radiance even when environmental conditions are less forgiving.
The Alastin line also includes targeted products like the Ultra Light Moisturizer and Renewal Retinol, which can be rotated depending on your tolerance and seasonal needs. The peptides and antioxidants in these formulas not only address the visible signs of aging but also keep the skin barrier strong—a key defense during times of low humidity and cold air exposure.
Revision – Long-Term Skin Health Focus
Revision Skincare takes a comprehensive approach, balancing potent actives with barrier-supporting ingredients to ensure long-term skin health. Their best-selling DEJ Face Cream and DEJ Eye Cream focus on the dermal-epidermal junction, the foundational layer responsible for skin strength and smoothness. Clinical findings published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology highlighted Revision’s ability to improve skin hydration, tone, and texture, particularly during dry or transitional seasons.
If you’re adjusting your fall routine, Revision’s C+ Correcting Complex 30% is another powerhouse. It offers advanced antioxidant protection and helps even tone while reducing visible photodamage accumulated from summer sun exposure. When paired with Alastin or Sente, it forms part of a layered defense that restores your skin’s natural resilience and glow through the colder months.
Sente – Barrier, Comfort, and Daily Support
Sente is known for its focus on barrier recovery and hydration, making it a must-have during seasonal shifts. Its patented glycosaminoglycan analogs (GAGs) help replenish essential moisture and improve texture without irritation, making it a go-to for sensitive, post-procedure, or reactive skin. The Dermal Repair Cream and Bio Complete Serum deliver soothing hydration and gentle renewal, helping the skin hold onto water and maintain suppleness as temperatures drop.
During autumn and winter, when moisture loss is common, Sente’s formulations shine by keeping the barrier fortified. They work especially well layered over Alastin or Revision serums to create a complete, multi-benefit routine—restoration, protection, and hydration all in one.
Other Seasonal Essentials from RefinedMD
Alongside these core lines, RefinedMD also carries other medical-grade staples that complete a well-rounded regimen. EltaMD sunscreens remain a non-negotiable year-round, protecting against UV exposure that continues even on overcast winter days. Epionce products provide botanical-based healing and antioxidant support for sensitive or mature skin types. DefenAge is another excellent option for those seeking cell-renewing peptides to smooth texture and refine tone without irritation. These lines work synergistically with Alastin, Revision, and Sente to address every layer of skin health, from surface hydration to deep structural renewal.
Your Seasonal Strategy – Repair, Protect, Maintain
The key to an effective fall and winter regimen is to adjust—not overhaul. Swap lighter summer serums for slightly richer textures, reduce exfoliation frequency, and emphasize hydration and barrier repair. Incorporating Alastin for regeneration, Revision for antioxidant and collagen support, and Sente for barrier protection creates a balanced, high-performance trio for the colder months. These products are clinically formulated to complement in-office treatments like microneedling, laser therapy, and chemical peels, enhancing recovery and extending results.
Your skin is constantly evolving, and so should your approach to caring for it. By adapting your regimen now, you’ll protect your investment in both daily care and professional treatments, keeping your complexion radiant, supple, and strong through every seasonal change.
