DDF was founded in 1995 by Dr. Howard Sobel. The doctor was previously a cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist, with a quarter century of experience in the field of caring for patients’ skin. Although the company DDF wasn't truly launched until ninety five, the work in creating the foundations of the company began as early as four years previous to that, when Dr. Sobel began pioneering the science that would provide the basis for all of the DDF products to come in the future. DDF in fact stands for Doctors Dermatologic Formula, and is a product line that is based on following medical principles as a means to obtaining perfect skin. The company line has always been Cleanse, protect, and treat, with each of their various systems being designed around this essential process.

DDF now has several different product lines which follow the cleanse, protect, and treat protocols with individual ingredients selected to best address each of the several concerns that the company deals with. There is a line that is designed to help turn back time by reducing the already present signs of aging. In addition, there is also a different product line which is designed to instead prevent those same signs from ever coming to pass. There are also product lines to deal with specific conditions of the skin, including hyperpigmentation and acne.

Because the DDF protocol is always a three step process, although the products are available for individual purchase the recommended method is to purchase them in easy kits which the company sells. These kits contain the products that you will need in order to successfully complete each of the three steps for whichever condition you are trying to complete or protect. Often, one of the primary complaints about skin care is the difficulty of following the complicated regimens that different companies recommend. By purchasing everything in a simple pre-made kit you remove all of the guesswork and can simply get one with obtaining better looking skin. The company also makes products that make the same great skin care available to people who have problems with being allergic or with reacting to the ingredients in many regular skin care formulations.
