This two step system combines a naturally charged biomineral concentrate with a rejuvenating moisturizer formulated with blackberry leaf extract and dill, to restore essential energy to elastin-deficient skin -- restoring a more youthful, awakened look. The system comes in Day SPF 30, Night, and Eye versions, and studies show that its technology can reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, dark circles and give skin a lifted appearance. In just 4 weeks, 100 percent of women showed improved skin vitality with firmer, smoother skin texture, fewer lines or wrinkles or diminished age spots*. Pretty nifty stuff, huh?

La Mer takes its time when it comes to releasing a new product. Their latest took four years of research and development on plant stem cells (who knew plants had stem cells?). This highly-concentrated serum fights aging by using La Mer�s well-known marine-sourced ingredients to help soothe the skin and fight the appearance of irritation. But it also incorporates new anti-aging ingredients that actually use plant stem cells to produce collagen and elastin in the skin. "The Regenerating Serum starts to work on contact. You actually feel it. You put it on and you feel something is transformed," says Loretta Miraglia, La Mer Senior Vice President of Product Development and Innovation. "Then four to eight weeks out, something has really changed: Tone and texture are markedly improved; skin looks firmer, stronger and healthier." We sure hope she's right.

Five years of testing at the Los Alamos Laboratories in New Mexico (same place where the atomic bomb was built) has led to this breakthrough product by Dr. Perricone. This smart hydrator uses a patented ionic suspension carrier system to actually direct specific nutrients through skin cells to the places in the skin that need the nutrients most. The formula's star ingredients are phospholipids, fat derivatives that attract moisture, they do the directing of the nutrients.

Skin Brightening Treatments:  Lumixyl, $120 (by prescription only)
Finally, a clinically-proven hyperpigmentation treatment that doesn't contain the potentially-harmful hydroquinone. Developed by dermatologists at Stanford University, this peptide solution restrains tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin (which causes uneven pigmentation and dark spots). In clinical studies patients reported visible improvement in as little as eight weeks. Plus, in vitro studies show that Lumixyl works 17 times better than hydroquinone without causing irritation, burning, or redness. Quite impressive, indeed.
