Beauty Face Time: Rodan+Fields New Derm-Approved Skin-Care App
If you’ve ever dreamed about shopping for skin care with the country’s top dermatologists, you’re in luck. This week, San Francisco–based doctors Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, M.D., introduced PerSKINality—a free beauty app that helps users evaluate their greatest complexion issues like a pro, then prescribes a custom product regimen to resolve them quickly.

Once you’ve received your diagnosis, you’ll get a recommendation for a custom skin-care kit from Rodan+Fields’ self-titled product line. Each one is stocked with an arsenal of cleansers, toners, and creams that's been assembled by the powerhouse duo to suit your specific needs and sealed in a sleek travel-friendly plastic bag.
