A useful skin-care routine should fit your skin, your goals, and your everyday life. At SARA Surgery in Morton Grove, we help patients choose products with a clear purpose, whether that is daily sun protection, hydration, managing visible signs of aging, or caring for a healed surgical scar.
Start with Your Skin’s Needs
Bring a list or photographs of the products you already use, along with any questions about dryness, sensitivity, breakouts, or uneven tone. A facial skin analysis can help organize that conversation. Recommendations should account for your current routine and planned procedures, rather than simply adding more steps.
Skin-Care Brands Available Through SARA
Skinbetter Science
Skinbetter Science offers products for daily cleansing, moisturizing, and targeted concerns such as the appearance of uneven tone and fine lines. We can discuss which type of product belongs in your routine and how to introduce it alongside what you already use.
Alastin Skincare
Alastin includes daily skin care and products designed for use around cosmetic procedures. If you are preparing for treatment, ask which products are appropriate and when to use them. A procedure-support product does not replace your clinician’s wound-care instructions.
EltaMD
EltaMD offers broad-spectrum sunscreens in different formulations. Texture, tint, sensitivity, and your daily activities can all matter when choosing a sunscreen you will use consistently. Follow the product’s directions for application and reapplication.
Silagen
Silagen offers silicone gels and sheets for scar care. Ask when your incision is ready for these products and which format suits the location. Scar care aims to improve appearance; it cannot erase a scar. If a scar is raised, uncomfortable, or restricting movement, discuss scar revision options with the team.
A Routine You Can Understand and Maintain
Before starting a product, ask what it is intended to do, how often to use it, and when to review your response. Tell us about allergies, prescription skin treatments, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any recent procedure. Stop and ask for advice if a product causes a concerning reaction.
The phrase “medical grade” is not a promise that every product will suit your skin or outperform every alternative. The specific formula, your skin’s needs, and consistent use matter. We can help you prioritize essentials and avoid overlapping products.
