The fact that this skin care line has almost been around for a century (Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor famously favored the brand), says a lot about Erno Lazlo — especially since its ingredient list is relatively unchanged today. Dr. Talakoub is a huge fan of the line, which has continued to be extremely successful, despite the founder and Hungarian doctor's passing in 1973. "This two-step peel contains vitamin C, carrot seed oil and lactic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells, lighten and brighten dark spots and fade sun damage," she says. "It's a magical at-home peel system that takes the place of monthly microdermabrasion treatments."
Feel like taking your sun protection game to the next level? While $50 may seem pricey for a sunscreen, experts say this one is worth the extra expense. "It is a therapeutic sunscreen, complete with a DNA repair enzyme that has been demonstrated in clinical trials to reverse skin aging including precancerous growths called actinic keratoses," says Dr. Palm. "In Europe, where this Spanish brand originates, it's actually cleared to prevent precancerous spots." She recommends this brand especially for patients with sun damage or a history of skin cancer.
