Anti-Aging Experiment: Dr. Brandt's Beauty Boosters

/


aa_logo_small.jpgDr. Brandt is a famous celebrity dermatologist. He has been featured on Oprah, Extreme Makeover, and Live with Regis and Kelly. So when he came out with his line of anti-aging lotions and potions, I could not wait to try them

He has a set of products called the Beauty Boosters, and are happy to share our results from our experiment. Here is who gave it a try: Carly - 20 something, and Cindi - 30 something.

*** Please note that we only tested the two skin care products from the set, not the water booster.

From the Dr. Brandt Skincare website, a description of two of the products in this set:

"lineless eye cream - madonna doesn’t leave home without this anti-wrinkle, anti- puffiness and anti-oxidant formulation for a younger looking eye contour. soothing and firming effects are provided by nourishing vitamins, white tea and botanicals. using ring finger, apply am and pm to bone area of eye in contour - clockwise motion from the outside corner of the eye inward.

     lineless cream with age inhibitor complex - the ultimate moisturizer to maintain a youthful and healthy appearance preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. the age-inhibitor complex contains a combination of ingredients to help slow down the aging process. apply am or pm after cleansing and toning."


Our thoughts while using:

  • Love the pump in the eye cream - it pumps out the perfect amount every time
  • Lineless Cream looks a bit like a gelled silly putty
  • If you have very dry skin, you may need an additional moisturizer
  • Apply both products two times a day for best results

The latest from Clinique.

I just read a very interesting article in the New York Times about Clinique and it's new role at The Clinique Skin Wellness Center.

From January 25th's New York Times:

 WHEN Clinique made its debut in 1968, the cosmetics brand altered America’s beauty landscape by using scientific language and clinical iconography at a time when highly perfumed, elaborately packaged creams dominated department stores.

Clinique hired a prominent dermatologist, Dr. Norman Orentreich of Manhattan, to help develop the line. It outfitted its sales force in pristine white lab coats and installed them at cosmetics counters where they diagnosed the skin types of customers. Even its name carried a clinical aura.

But now Clinique has gone one step further in aligning itself with therapeutic imagery — and in the process has raised the ante for beauty companies seeking affiliations with doctors.
