When patients ask me what they can do to improve their skin beyond Botox and filler, my answer is almost always the same: invest in your skin health.
Beautiful skin isn't created from one treatment alone. The most dramatic and long-lasting results come from combining professional treatments with a consistent at-home skincare routine.
At Jected by Josie, one of my favorite combinations for improving skin tone, texture, fine lines, and overall radiance is pairing Hydrinity Skincare's RetaXome Daily Retinal Hydrator with a series of VI Peels. Together, they help support cell turnover, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation while maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
Why Cell Turnover Matters
When we're younger, our skin naturally sheds dead skin cells and replaces them with fresh, healthy cells approximately every 28 days. As we age, that process slows significantly.
Slower cell turnover can contribute to:
- Dull skin
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Breakouts
- Loss of radiance
The goal of an effective skincare routine is to encourage healthy cell renewal while supporting the skin's barrier function.
Meet My Favorite Retinal Product: Hydrinity RetaXome™
One of the newest innovations in skincare is Hydrinity's RetaXome Daily Retinal Hydrator, a next-generation retinal treatment designed to improve skin renewal without many of the irritation issues commonly associated with traditional retinoids. According to Hydrinity, RetaXome combines retinal with biomimetic exosome technology to support cell turnover, improve firmness, boost hydration, and help stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is formulated to be gentle enough for nightly use and suitable for many patients who struggle to tolerate traditional retinol products.
Benefits of RetaXome
- Supports healthy cell turnover
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Softens the appearance of fine lines
- Encourages collagen and elastin production
- Provides hydration while resurfacing the skin
- Suitable for many sensitive skin types
- Can often be used nightly without an extended adjustment period
One reason I love this product is that many patients who have previously struggled with redness, peeling, or irritation from retinol products find RetaXome much easier to incorporate into their routine. Community reviews frequently highlight its ability to provide the benefits of a retinal product with minimal irritation.
Why I Recommend VI Peels
While great skincare works every day, professional treatments can accelerate your results.
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve multiple skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne and acne scarring
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin texture
The peel works by creating controlled exfoliation that stimulates the skin's natural renewal process. This regeneration process promotes new collagen and elastin production while revealing brighter, healthier-looking skin underneath.
Benefits of VI Peel Treatments
- Improves skin texture
- Brightens discoloration
- Softens fine lines
- Helps improve acne-prone skin
- Stimulates collagen production
- Creates a smoother, more radiant complexion
For many patients, a series of treatments provides the most noticeable improvement, especially when targeting pigmentation, acne scars, or signs of aging.
Why RetaXome and VI Peels Work So Well Together
Think of your skincare routine as your daily workout and your VI Peel as your personal trainer.
A VI Peel helps reset and rejuvenate the skin through controlled exfoliation and collagen stimulation. RetaXome then helps maintain and enhance those results by supporting ongoing cell turnover and skin renewal at home.
Together, they create a powerful approach to:
- Maintaining smoother skin
- Supporting collagen production
- Improving skin tone and texture
- Preventing dullness
- Enhancing overall skin radiance
This combination is especially popular among my Manhattan patients who want healthy, glowing skin with minimal downtime and long-term results.
