I have never personally used Patricia Wexler skincare, but it gets rave reviews from many of you, and I always like to write about any beauty prouduct that gets award recognition. The Patricia Wexler MD Dermatology Fastcription Instant De-Puff Eye Gel won both the 2008 Allure best of Beauty in the Eye DePuffing category as well as the 2008 Best in Show Award from Women's Health.

The gel instantly reduces under eye bags and yields long term benefits with continued use. It's suitable for all skin types and people who wear contacts. Available at Bath & Body Works, $19.50.

Dr. Hauschka Radiant You Skincare is a holistic line that is made from plant based remedies. It has a huge celebrity following, from Madonna to Jennifer Aniston and J. Lo, and we know how fabulous their skin looks. I know...I'm sure they spend thousands on laser treatments and peels, but it gives the line a bit of credibility if the most beautiful use it. The all natural remedies aren't cheap however. The line runs from $35 for toner to $90 for creams and serums.

The company is organizing a new movement like Avon and Mary Kay, getting women to host "Radiant You" parties, where every guest will get free samples in the hopes that the host can secure some sales from the party. The host then gets a portion of the sales. The samples are free if you record the party and put the video on You Tube, otherwise it will cost the host $6.99 per sample. I assume they refund your money once the You Tube video is up in order for the samples to be free.

If you want to get the products but skip the parties, buy Dr.Hauschka Skin Care through drugstore.com.

I think it looks a bit painful, but apparently the skin derma roller can bring about a flawless complexion. There have been rumors that it is Angelina Jolie's secret to to her beautiful skin. It is a small hand held device, covered with tiny steel spikes, sharp, but not quite needles. You roll it over your skin, causing trauma to the epidermis and stimulating the repair process, thus boosting collagen production for a coveted youthful glow. The theory is the same behind lasers, which do work miracles. I would know, I swear by laser facials. The derma roller is safe for all skin types. Here are claimed results:

The derma rollers cost between $75 and $85, depending on 'needle' length.  

Kinerase Restructure Firming cream is the latest and greatest from the amazing skin care company. I am a big fan of Kinerase and have used their skin care treatments for years, not only because they work, but also because they don't irritate my skin. I'm excited about this new firming cream, as I have been beginning to notice the skin around my jaws getting loose. The cream contains LOXL Stimulator, a plant extract, that targets elastin to lift and strengthen skins structure, as well as a mixture of peptides that reduce the look of wrinkles. The formula also contains a moisturizing ingredient so it shouldn't dry out your skin. The company claims visible results in four weeks, but I am always more interested in consumer reviews, and what I found backs up the company claim. Every single review I found gave it five out of five stars, yes, every single one.

Available at drugstore.com, $98.

I recently heard from some readers that Kiehl's Line Reducing Concentrate is an anti aging skin treatment they swear by and will use every day for the rest of their life, so I decided to give it a try. It feels smooth and non greasy on my skin, so now I just await a few weeks to see the results.

The formula contains a high concentration of 10.5% Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) known for its affinity with skin and its powerful ability to improve the appearance of skin aging. The company claims, with continued use over time, this treatment has a significant and progressive effect on marionette lines around the mouth and sub-orbital wrinkles in the eye area as well as other facial lines and wrinkles. In addition, skin shows a noticeable improvement in texture and radiance.

I love it when a inexpensive skin care treatment hits the drugstores. It's so much easier than going to the mall or dermatologists office for the products. Lumene is the latest to come out with apple stem cell technology, a very important and effective antioxidant.  Their Excellent Future Serum and Cream are meant to work together, applying the serum first followed with the cream.

Lumenes Applexcell (their apple stem cell solution) is modern apple extract and ancient white peat which helps to protect the skin's stem cells and thereby helps to promote the skin's ability to repair itself. This serum protects the most important skin cells, which play a key role in keeping the skin youthful. The serum helps prevent and postpone damage that is hidden under the skin surface and reduce the depth of already existing wrinkles.

These Lumene products are available at CVS, Target, Sears and Ulta.
