Review ~ Ratio Skin Care (by Dr. Andrew Ordon and Ritu Chopra)

METSV — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:18:26 PDT

The golden ratio is an organic constant found in nature. It is visible in the perfect lines of a nautilus shell. The human body is the most beautiful example of the mathematical proportions defined by this and a glance at the palm of your hand will provide proof. Great works of genius, such as the Mona Lisa or the Taj Mahal, could not have been created without an understanding of this calculated symmetry.

Dr. Andrew Ordon, co-host of the Emmy-award winning show, “The Doctors,” and his partner Dr. Ritu Chopra, have taken inspiration from this golden ratio to create a revolutionary blend of eastern and western ingredients for the ultimate balance in anti-aging skincare products.

Clicking HERE will take you to the Ratio Skin Care site where you can learn more about this great range of skincare products...(right now they are featuring a 20% discount, so click quick!)

Stay tuned for a Q&A from the doctors - they'll be answering some of our questions and yours regarding the line, skincare in general, and what's on the horizon for Ratio...

Review - Kaplan MD ~ Clinical Skin Therapy

Makeup Addict — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:31:34 PDT

KAPLAN MD Clinical Skin Therapy $50.00 by kaplan MD at Neiman Marcus

KAPLAN MD Skincare introduces Clinical Skin Therapy, an amazing new facial treatment that radically changes the texture of your skin. The secret is a very pure, medical-grade concentration of benzoyl peroxide.

Before you associate and discount benzoyl peroxide as a "teenage acne" solution, it is important to understand that the same ingredients are made by different manufacturers, all at different grades. For example, if you needed vanilla extract to bake a cake, you could purchase an inexpensive artificial vanilla extract at your local supermarket. Or, you can purchase pure vanilla extract from a gourmet supermarket. But if you want the absolute best flavor, you can go the next level and purchase whole vanilla beans from a specialty store. The ingredient listed on the box will be "vanilla extract," but the taste will be entirely different.

The same is true in skincare. The ingredients in the Clinical Skin Therapy are of medical grade, which means of the highest quality and purest grade. This allows the Benzoyl Peroxide to refine skin texture, tighten pores, reduce inflammation and skin redness, and treat acne blemisheswithout drying, stinging or burning the skin.
