The Forehead Protocol
$120.00
A two-step nighttime ritual built around the clinical protocol Dr. Sobel uses in his Park Avenue practice for forehead wrinkles, fine lines, and early signs of aging.
The set includes the 4.5% Retinol Night Treatment — one of the highest concentrations available over the counter — paired with the Essential Foaming Face Wash, the gentle cleanser Dr. Sobel recommends to use alongside retinol. Together, they cleanse and renew without disrupting your skin barrier.
Why this pairing matters: Retinol is the most clinically validated ingredient for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, but it works best on skin that's clean and intact. Strong actives in your cleanser strip the barrier and amplify retinol irritation — the #1 reason new users quit. A gentle foaming cleanser is the simplest, most overlooked step in any anti-aging routine.
How to use:
-
Cleanse — Press the foaming cleanser pump into wet hands. Massage onto damp skin for 30 seconds. Rinse with lukewarm water.
-
Treat — Once skin is fully dry (wait 10 minutes), apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol to forehead and full face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Begin 2–3 nights per week, building tolerance over 4–6 weeks.
-
Always follow with SPF the next morning.
A protocol-driven set, designed for readers of Dr. Sobel's Journal.
