What's your motto?

Cun Rx potions really reverse the effeets of aging?

Is there sueh a thing as a miracle in a bottle?

Your newest product and its key ingredients?

DR. PATRICIA WEXLER

Great skin is not a luxury; it's a right.

Good at-home skin care, used regularly, can absolutely reverse photoaging.

The closest thing we have is sunscreen. When used every day, it protects against the damage caused by UVA and UVB exposure. The next best thing is MMPi20.

It actually produces new collagen, which translates to younger-looking skin by inhibiting the harmful effects of sun exposure.

DR. NICHOLAS V. PERRICONE

True beauty is radiant health.

Yes. A key ingredient is DMAE, which can be taken as a supplement or applied topically. As we age, our levels of acetylcholine decline, resulting in reduced muscle tone and a sagging face and body. Also, alpha lipoic acid is known as the "universal" antioxidant.

Absolutely. The longer you use science-based topicals, such as alpha lipoic acid and DMAE, the greater their effects— diminished pore size, more even skin tone and color, firmer skin, a decrease in dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles, and so forth.

Take the doctor home with you.

Yes. Ingredients have evolved and become a lot more sophisticated. Of course, it all begins with prevention, through the use of sunscreen and potent ingredients for healthier skin.

There are products that can have an instant result, but they are good for only a few hours. The best approach is to combine them into a daily regimen for a prolonged effect on your skin.

DR. DENNIS GROSS

Live a balanced life. And use your Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel and sunscreen.

Yes. With continued use over time, there is no question that you will see results. Antioxidants such as green-tea extract, vitamins C and E, and lycopenes are the most effective ingredients to boost collagen growth and prevent breakdown, producing a firming effect.

The topical application of vitamins and ingredients from both science and nature, through serum delivery, is the most effective means of preventing aging and treating skin conditions.

Hydra-Pure Redness Soothing Serum can treat inflammation, rosacea, and flushing, with ingredients such as Gatuline, silymarin, and licorice-root extract.
