Okay - Here we go on the Top Ten List

1. NuSkin's Age LOC Transformation Kit

A friend of mine, Barbara Freundt, and NuSkin distributor extraordinaire has been keeping me apprised of NuSkin products for some time. I've always known they were good products and the company certainly does their homework, but I am always a skeptic that needs hard proof. Not only scientific evidence but I have to love using it myself. I have to love how it feels, smells, looks and most importantly how it works.

Their newest product, literally released a week ago is the AgeLOC Future Serum, Foaming Cleanser/Toner, Radiant Daycream spf 22, and Transforming Night Cream. These products target the ultimate sources of aging to preserve the look of youth and reduce the appearance of aging. The proprietary patent pending technology developed at Purdue and now being researched at Stanford targets the ultimate sources of aging on the skin cells themselves. (age-related SuperMarkers). The product also contains Equol which reduces the production of damaging enzymes like MMP3 which can destroy skin structure. This ingredient improves cell renewal and skin structure giving a more youthful resilience, glow and smoothness.
Pea extract, bamboo extract and glucosamine reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and increase cell turnover resulting in more youthful appearing skin. A lightening complex helps reverse and prevent discoloration of the the skin. Pore size is reduced, hydration is enhanced and the skin is more radiant.

After using this regimen, I noticed significant improvement in the appearance of my skin even in the first few days. Their research shows users of the serum rated an average of 51-73% improvement in 8 areas after 12 weeks of use. I recommend trying the whole system, but if you are not ready to do that, at least try the ageLOC Future Serum. These products are available in our office or we can order them for you and have them mailed to your house. Transformation Kit (cleanser, serum, day cream and night cream) $410. AgeLOC Future Serum $224.

It is a gorgeous sunny day in San Diego! I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. I was recently going through and re-evaluating my assortment of skincare products on my own bathroom sink and the products we have for sale at the office at Center for Beauty in La Jolla. While most everything I have and sell are very good--I thought: it is time to take a fresh look at these products. I am committing to using and promoting those products that 1) scientifically, but more importantly, visibly really make a difference in my skin , and 2) are pleasing to use and make me want to be consistent with their use. Also, 3) for products available in my office, to offer a range of price points.

So, in concert with the New Year, and the soon to be Lunar New Year (February 14, 2010) I have put together "Dr. Sardo's Top Ten List for 2010". This is the short list of products that have particularly impressed me and my staff recently. These are treatments and products that we feel enthusiastic about and that provide real tangible results and benefits. Most of these products are available through our office or we can tell you how to get them.

A short testimonial from Cindi, my assistant and patient coordinator about the ViPeel:

" I'm so pleased with the results of the ViPeel. With only minimum discomfort during the application, and just a week after the peel, my face has a smooth and softer appearance. The peel has softened fine lines and my dark age spots have literally disappeared! My skin looks amazing! " --Cindi
