Products hand-selected by Dr. Jacobson — protect your investment in yourself with products we know, trust, and use ourselves.
At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, we believe beautiful skin starts with a strong foundation. While in-office treatments can create powerful transformation, your daily skincare routine is what helps maintain, protect, and enhance those results over time.
In fact, we often tell patients that healthy skin is built from what you do every day at home.
That is why Dr. Jacobson has hand-selected medical-grade skincare lines backed by science and clinical results. These products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, advanced delivery systems, and proven technologies designed to create meaningful change in the skin.
Whether you are starting completely from scratch, simplifying your routine, preparing for a procedure, or looking to target specific concerns, our team can help create a customized regimen designed specifically for you.

Don’t Know Where to Start? Start With the ABCs of Skincare
Skincare can feel overwhelming. Between social media trends, endless products, and conflicting advice online, it is easy to feel like you need a 15-step routine to have great skin.
The truth? Most effective skincare routines start with a few foundational principles. At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, we often begin with what we call the ABCs of Skincare.
A
Vitamin A / Retinoids
- Build the skin.
- Retinoids work at the cellular level to boost turnover, stimulate collagen, and smooth texture.
B
Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
- Protect the skin.
- Daily SPF defends against UV damage, preserves collagen, and protects every result you build.
C
Vitamin C
- Defend the skin.
- A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and brightens tone day after day.
These three ingredients work together to build, protect, and defend your skin.
A Is for Vitamin A (Retinoids)
If we had to start with one foundational ingredient for healthy, glowing skin, it would often be a Vitamin A derivative, better known as a retinoid.
Retinoids are considered one of the gold standards in skincare because they create change at the cellular level. Over time, they help your skin behave more like younger skin.
They work by:
- Increasing skin cell turnover
- Stimulating collagen production
- Improving fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothing texture
- Improving acne-prone skin
- Helping fade discoloration and pigmentation
- Improving overall skin quality and brightness
What Should I Expect?
Because retinoids increase cellular turnover, it is normal during the first few weeks to experience mild dryness, flaking or peeling, temporary redness, and mild sensitivity. This adjustment phase is called retinization and is simply your skin acclimating.
We often recommend:
- Start 2–3 nights weekly
- Gradually increase frequency
- Support your barrier with moisturizer
- Wear sunscreen every day
Prescription Strength vs. Better-Tolerated Options
Prescription tretinoin is a powerful option, but some patients experience irritation or downtime. Many patients achieve beautiful results with more elegant formulations that are easier to tolerate.
JCS Favorites

- Combines a retinoid with alpha hydroxy acids.
- Improves texture and signs of aging with less irritation.
Hydrinity
RetaXome™ Daily Retinal Hydrator
- Advanced retinal technology with biomimetic exosome delivery.
- Supports collagen stimulation with hydration and improved tolerability.
B Is for Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
If retinoids are the builders, sunscreen is the bodyguard. Let’s be honest: sunscreen is not always the sexiest step in skincare, but it may be the most important.
Simply put: you cannot out-treat sun damage. Daily broad-spectrum SPF protects against UVA rays (aging and collagen loss) and UVB rays (burning and visible damage).
Daily sunscreen helps:
- Prevent premature aging
- Reduce pigmentation and sun spots
- Protect collagen and elastin
- Protect against skin cancer
- Preserve treatment results
Protect the Collagen You're Building
Many of our favorite treatments — microneedling, chemical peels, RF treatments, laser treatments, and surgical rejuvenation procedures — stimulate new collagen production. Your body works hard to create new collagen after treatment, but UV exposure can accelerate its breakdown. Think of sunscreen as protecting the investment you are making in your skin.
JCS Favorite SPF
Skinbetter Science
Tone Smart SPF Compact
Why we love it:
- Broad-spectrum protection
- Buildable tinted coverage that adapts to your skin tone
- Blurs redness and imperfections
- Perfect for touch-ups throughout the day
- Gives a “your skin but better” finish
Because the best sunscreen is ultimately the one you’ll actually wear.
C Is for Vitamin C
If retinoids build and sunscreen protects, Vitamin C defends. It is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skincare and helps protect your skin from the daily stressors constantly working against it.
Dr. Jacobson often tells patients:
“If you’re only going to invest in one thing for your skin, let it be a Vitamin C.”
Vitamin C helps:
- Neutralize free radicals
- Support collagen production
- Improve fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten skin tone
- Improve brown spots and discoloration
- Improve overall clarity
- Strengthen skin defenses
- Enhance UV protection when paired with sunscreen
Think of an Apple…
Imagine cutting an apple in half. If you squeeze Vitamin C on one side and leave the other side exposed to air, the untreated side gradually becomes brown and oxidized while the protected side stays fresher longer. That browning process is oxidation. Your skin experiences a similar process every day from UV exposure, pollution, environmental stressors, and cellular damage. Vitamin C helps defend against this damage before you see it on the skin.

Comprehensive Healing: Silagen® Scar Care
We care about how you heal. At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, our care does not stop when surgery is complete — we care just as much about how you heal as we do about your results.
Scars are a natural part of healing, but the way they mature can be influenced by how they are cared for during recovery. That is why we incorporate Silagen® medical-grade silicone scar therapy into many postoperative plans. Silicone therapy creates a protective environment over the scar that helps regulate hydration and support more organized collagen remodeling as the body heals.
Silagen can help:
- Improve scar appearance over time
- Support flatter, softer scars
- Reduce redness and discoloration
- Improve scar texture
- Support healthy collagen remodeling
- Protect healing incisions during the maturation process
JCS Scar Care Favorites
Silagen®
Scar Gel
- A lightweight, quick-drying silicone gel that forms an invisible protective barrier over healing incisions.
- Easy to apply and ideal where sheets may be difficult to wear consistently.
Best for: facial procedures, smaller incisions, daily maintenance, areas requiring flexibility
Silagen®
Silicone Scar Sheets
- Medical-grade silicone sheeting that provides prolonged contact and continuous support for healing scars.
- Reusable sheets create a protective environment that supports scar maturation.
Best for: tummy tuck incisions, breast surgery scars, body contouring, larger surgical scars
Recovery Is Part of the Result
Surgery is only one piece of the process. The recovery phase — swelling management, incision care, skincare, and scar optimization — plays an important role in your final outcome. We believe comprehensive care means supporting you from consult to recovery, because your results deserve attention long after the procedure is finished.
The JCS Approach
Your skincare consultation is not about handing you a one-size-fits-all kit.
It is about understanding you. We help identify the “missing links” in your routine and create a plan that is realistic, easy to follow, and designed specifically for you.
It is about understanding:
- Your skin goals
- Your current routine
- Your lifestyle
- Your concerns
- Your budget
Build Your Foundation
Healthy skin is not created overnight. It is built through consistency, education, and the right products. Whether you want a complete overhaul or simply the right Vitamin C, retinoid, moisturizer, or SPF, our team is here to guide you.
