DDF – Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula
Product Overview
Dr. Howard Sobel, a New York City dermatologist and plastic surgeon, discovered DDF Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula in 1995. This company was the culmination of his more than 25 years of experience and some of his expertise, which was well known within the dermatologic community after he presided as the editor-in-chief of several professional publications. He associated with well-known cosmetic personality Elaine Linker to create DDF, which is now a top-selling brand at Sephora stores.
The company offers two formulas for the eye area: Protective Eye Cream and Bio-Molecular Firming Eye Serum.
Protective Eye Cream is made to protect the eye area from future damage while minimizing the look of fine lines near the eye area. It also contains a daily moisturizer to create these effects. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the ingredients in this formula and cannot vouch for its effects.
Bio-Molecular Firming Eye Serum was formulated to improve the overall contour of skin near the eye area by firming and lifting the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving moisture. This formula contains a combination of proteins, peptides and antioxidants. However, it is not clear what these ingredients are.
The Good
- DDF Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula offers a full range of skincare formulas for different problems.
- Dr. Sobel has a good reputation in the dermatologic field.
- Website is also clear and simple to understand.
The Bad
- No free trial of product is available.
- Products must be purchased from Sephora
- No ingredients list is presented.
Dos And Don’ts
You can definitely go for the product and visit the site. The DDF web site is clearly created and presented. Much of the focus seems to be on differentiating the company from other cosmetic companies, which is an important task. The product descriptions are brief and simple, but seem to lack some important information, including what the specific ingredients are, which makes evaluation of DDF products nearly impossible.
All purchases are conducted through Sephora’s online store or by visiting a Sephora location near you. No free trial of products is offered.
Final Comment
Considering Dr. Sobel’s reputation in the field one can opt for the product. However, there is lack of important information (such as active ingredients) about the products in the site. Therefore, until this information is obtained, it cannot be recommended to anyone.
