Although May is National Skin Cancer Awareness month, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is committed to skin cancer prevention all year-round. After all, not only was the company started by a doctor, but Dr. Gross is a dermatologist who began his career as a skin cancer researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. So to say skin cancer prevention is a cause near and dear to his heart is an understatement.
Every year, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare donates $150,000 to melanoma fellowships and research studies to help cure cancer and provide the community a brighter future. Melanoma is the most lethal type of cancer, yet it is highly treatable if caught early.
Apart from getting regular skin checks, avoiding tanning beds, and using improved sun protection when necessary, here are Dr. Gross’ top prevention tips:
C + Collagen Brighten & Firm Vitamin C Serum
This is a power-packed gel serum powered by a proprietary energy complex, 3-O C vitamin C technology, that revitalizes dull, tired or aging skin. 83 percent of users said their skin tone was more even and their complexion looked brighter and more radiant after a period of time. The serum’s patented energy combination with CoQ10, combined with 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, instantly makes weary and drab skin look beautiful. This serum also smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Their patented energy complex, which includes CoQ10, superoxide dismutase, carnitine, and niacinamide, replenishes skin so it can maximize vitamin C for faster healing and protection, brightening skin and smoothing lines and wrinkles.
To use, simple massage 1-2 pumps into a clean, dry face, neck, and décolleté once daily. Follow up with moisturizer and sunscreen.

All-Physical Lightweight Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Sunscreens are undeniably important, but how and how much you apply them matters. Apply an appropriate amount of product to your face and neck, and if you’re out in the sun, add another layer of product during the day. This sunscreen protects against damaging UVA/UVB rays, pollution, and blue light generated from phones and computer screens thanks to transparent zinc oxide and antioxidant-rich bearberry, sea buckthorn, lingonberry, and ferulic acid.
This non-greasy, lightweight finish layers beautifully under makeup and blends easily. Warm this product between your fingers before applying to your face for optimal benefits.
Use daily in the AM as the final step in your skincare routine, after moisturizer. Apply to fingertips and massage into skin until fully blended in. Apply liberally over face, neck, and décolleté 15 minutes before sun exposure. For full coverage, massage into the hairline, over the ears, and back of the neck. Reapply every two hours.
