La Mer Introduces The Hydrating Infusion

La Mer introduces The Hydrating Infusion which will be Available in September at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and www.lamer.com.

Over forty years ago, aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber envisioned harnessing the energy of the sea to create a miracle. Today, looking to the sea as a source of life and inspiration, The Max Huber Research Labs have created a next-generation infusion – The Hydrating Infusion. With nourishing vitamins and essential minerals, this high-potency treatment pre-wets the skin to receive and maximize the transformational benefits of Crème de la Mer.

A cascade of hydration saturates the skin as The Hydrating Infusion’s serum-like texture transforms into a watery fluid upon application. An interactive gel network suspends the vital ingredients in the formula and releases them on demand. Activated by the skin’s pH and temperature, this smart gel responds by giving the skin the hydration and nutrients that it needs.

“We discovered that if the skin is too dry, the moisture barrier becomes over-taxed, creating a parched condition that makes it even more difficult for skin to absorb the hydration that it needs,” says Loretta Miraglia, Senior Vice President, Product Development and Innovation, The Max Huber Research Labs. “Like a pre-dampening a sponge, The Hydrating Infusion gives the skin an initial burst of hydration in a form that it can readily absorb, preparing it to fully receive the benefits of the Moisturizing Crème. By doing so, it helps skin to maintain optimum moisture levels and regain a healthy center.”

Skin Care By Dr. David A. Rodriguez Miami Dermatologist

Dr. David A. Rodriguez Miami Dermatologist.

“Many ethnic women are dying of melanoma because by the time they see a dermatologist, their prognosis is death”

“Every hour in this country somebody dies of malignant melanoma. Blacks and Hispanics are not coming to see us [dermatologist] – quickly enough!”

“It [melasma] literally comes across like dark blotches on the skin. It can be very devastating because it can take a long time to get better.”

Five-time gold medalist, Nadia Comaneci, and nine-time gold medalist, Mark Spitz, today joined Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN), the maker of BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A), to launch a new consumer education campaign – Your Personal Best. As part of the campaign, Comaneci and Spitz will share tips on how they remain at the top of their game in an effort to inspire men and women to achieve their own personal best – be it through diet, exercise or by improving their personal skin care routine.


Nadia Comaneci-Five-time gold medalist.

According to a recent national survey (n = 2,403), four in five people define their personal best as a combination of feeling their best, looking their best and fulfilling their responsibilities. Recognizing this, long-time friends, Comaneci (46) and Spitz (58) will travel the nation offering tips and insights on how women and men can define their own personal gold standard and achieve their goals.

Nadia Comaneci who describes her personal best as taking care of her inner and outer self. “As a mother of an active two-year old boy, I am constantly on the go and trying to find time to take care of myself,” said Comaneci, who today runs a gymnastics school with husband and fellow gold-medalist gymnast, Bart Conner. “About five years ago, I realized that while I exercised and ate right most of my life, there was nothing I could do on my own that would get rid of those two stubborn frown lines stamped on my forehead. They looked like an ‘11′ and made me upset with the way I looked, and that’s when I decided to talk to my physician about BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. I attained a perfect ‘10′ at age 14, and I’m working hard to stay close to that in all that I do.”
