PROVEN Skincare vs. Rodan + Fields: The Ultimate Skinvestigation

Finding the right skincare routine can be seriously overwhelming. There is so much information online and countless brands to choose from. Especially now that I’m over 50, I need something that works and evolves with my needs over time. Well, what if I could outsource that research?

I recently compared to popular skincare regimens, PROVEN Skincare and Rodan + Fields. Both brands offer online consultations to match you with the products you need, but which brand do I prefer? Keep reading to discover the results of my skinvestigation:

If you want customization…PROVEN

The main difference between these two regimens is that PROVEN’s formulas are personalized for my specific needs. I took a quiz to narrow in on which ingredients are necessary to target mature, pale, dry, and sensitive skin with fine lines and wrinkles. PROVEN has built its own database of information and uses artificial intelligence to compute the best formulas based on 47 different factors. Its unique Skin Genome Quiz™ even considered elements like the average UV index, humidity level, and air quality where I live.

In comparison, R+F Redefine products are traditionally manufactured and marketed. It is true that R +F still has various various product lines that target different needs, but they don't develop unique formulas designed just for my skin.

If you want a more in-depth consultation…PROVEN

Both PROVEN and R+F offer a skincare quiz that considers my age, skin type, skin tone, and level of sensitivity. PROVEN, however, went into greater detail. For example, PROVEN considered my age but did not toss me into the broad “over 50” category. It identified me in the “47-54” age group. That makes a difference! My skin changes from year to year, not every decade.

Another example of PROVEN's tailored process is the Skin Genome Quiz™, which identified one of my focus areas as “seborrheic dermatitis.” I had to Google that to find out it’s a fancy name for the skin flaking that has long annoyed me! I just assumed I had dry skin so I kept moisturizing. Now my skincare has ingredients to address this problem.

If you want more products…Rodan + Fields

PROVEN customizes 3 products for your unique skin needs in the Personalized System. A cleanser for both day and night, a day moisturizer, and a night cream. Perfect, easy two steps for maintaining a routine. They also offer a customized eye cream duo (sold separately) to pair with it.

On the other hand, the Redefine R+F regimen is three steps each morning (cleanser, toner, protector) and three at night (cleanser, toner, moisturizer). Plus, R+F has 9 product lines and 11 skincare product categories. Personally, I like to keep my routine simple and use as few products as possible. However, if you're the type that wants to spend an hour each day on your skincare, you might like that R+F offers everything from eye creams to serums, face masks, makeup remover, skincare tools, and the list goes on. But more isn’t always better.

If you want specificity in ingredients…PROVEN

PROVEN uses ingredients from both nature and science; all are FDA-approved and have been clinically studied and proven to produce results. I was thrilled to see some of my favorite ingredients from science, like niacinamides, working alongside natural ingredients like green tea extract and plant-based squalene. It’s the best of both worlds!

The R+F Redefine line was less detailed about its ingredients, listing broad categories like “botanical extracts” and “retinoid science.” It also includes peptides in both the morning and evening routines. Retinol is tried and true in the world of anti-aging. However, it can be irritating and produce peeling and redness.

And the Winner Is…

PROVEN was the clear winner for me. No, all my wrinkles didn't disappear overnight, but my skin looked refreshed and plumped with moisture. With regular use, I’m noticing a reduction in fine lines, especially around the mouth, and a firmer jawline. Best of all, I know that the formulas will change over time so my routine will keep being effective.

PROVEN is skincare that will adapt to any changes in my life. With PROVEN, I’m not just anyone; I’m a skindividual.
