If you’re a fan of the brand Cosmedix, you obviously need the tea on Cosmedix Elite, which is now available at Adore Beauty.
A step up to the original Cosmedix skincare line - think of Cosmedix 'Elite' like a bigger sister to the brand.
Meaning, if you’re a fan of the OG Cosmedix products you’ll very likely be a huge fan of these products too.
Plus, if you’re consistent with clinical treatments you’ll very likely benefit even more because the products in the Cosmedix Elite line have actually been developed to enhance advanced skin procedures like chemical peels and ablative lasers.
So using products like these in between treatments can enhance results, but also minimise side effects.
Make sense? Because when your skin is used to stronger actives, it won’t be such a shock when higher percentages of certain ingredients are applied to the skin in clinic.
There are also some really iconic products in the range IMO that have been best sellers in clinics for years so we really need to chat about those.
And, while they are potent, their products are also quite specific when it comes to addressing skin concerns and there are varying strengths, especially when it comes to their vitamin A formulas which is important.
Many of their products also contain microencapsulated technology which is an innovative delivery system that helps to gradually release the Vitamin A into the skin, which can help to minimise irritation normally associated with traditional vitamin A use.
So let’s get into some of my favourite Cosmedix Elite products.

I personally prefer this one for PM use but it can be applied during the day.
