Hi! I read in one of your blogs about Prescriptives closing and that you worked with Prescriptives and Custom Blend. I was a Trainer for the wonderful brand of Prescriptives for 15 years and was devastated when I Iearned of the closing! Like many, I did not know what skincare to switch to and luckily a friend told me about Rodan and Fields. The skincare is fantastic for any one looking for a Prescriptives alternative. I am in love with Rodan + Fields Dermatological Skincare and subsequently have recently become an independent consultant as I love the products and philosophy so much! You will know Drs Rodan and Fields as the Drs that created the Proactiv line for acne sufferers. Now, they have created a Dermatological Collection of Regimes for Aging and all concerns associated with Aging, such as Sun Damage, Adult Acne, Rosacea etc! Check out my website – would love to send you products to review. heidib.myrandf.com….thanks – these products are an answer to prayer from loyal Prescriptives users!
