Skin Rejuvenation & Anti-Aging

Antioxidant serums and targeted creams to brighten skin, soften fine lines, and support the results of in-office treatments like BBL/IPL photofacials.

Sunscreen & Daily SPF

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is the single most important step in preventing skin cancer and premature aging. These are our favorite sunscreens — mostly mineral (zinc oxide) formulas that are gentle on sensitive skin.

Melasma & Skin Tone Correction

Pigment-correcting products pair with strict daily sun protection — tinted mineral sunscreen with iron oxides is especially helpful for melasma.

Acne

Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene are the core over-the-counter acne ingredients. If breakouts persist, prescription options work faster — read more in our acne treatment guide.

Dry Skin & General Skin Care

Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and rich moisturizers repair the skin barrier — the foundation of managing dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sunscreen do dermatologists recommend?

Belaray Dermatology providers most often recommend broad-spectrum mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher, applied daily. Favorites include EltaMD UV Clear, CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen with Sheer Tint, ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica, and the Anteaox Hydrating Tinted Mineral Sunscreen from shop.belaray.com.

Do I need a prescription for these products?

No. Every product on this page is available over the counter without a prescription. If an over-the-counter option is not controlling your condition, schedule a visit — many concerns like acne, melasma, and psoriasis respond better to prescription-strength treatment prescribed after an exam.

Where can I buy the products Belaray recommends?

Each product on this page links directly to Amazon or to shop.belaray.com, Belaray’s own store. All products purchased at shop.belaray.com come with a 60 day money back guarantee. Patients can also get special pricing on brands like EltaMD, Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, and RoC through our Aire Health discounted products portal.

Are these recommendations personalized?

No. This directory is general education — the products our providers most often suggest for common concerns. It is not a substitute for an exam, and the right product for you depends on your skin type, diagnosis, and other treatments. Check ingredient lists carefully if you have allergies, and ask your Belaray provider what fits your skin.
