Marta Walsh Interviews Ada Polla of Alchimie Forever

Alchimie Forever skin care products were created and developed in Geneva, Switzerland, by Ada Polla’s parents Drs. Luigi and Barbara Polla. They created Alchimie Forever originally for their own medical spa clients, one of the first European medical spas Forever Laser Institute. But the line became so popular that they soon decided to expand distribution beyond Geneva.

In this interview Ada Polla explains to Marta Walsh how Alchimie Forever stands out compare to other skincare brands on the market, what it takes to run a skincare company successfully, the Polla family’s other passion a contemporary art gallery in Geneva Analix Forever, and her passion for building the Alchimie Forever brand as a powerful international cult brand.

How was the concept for Alchimie Forever skincare born?
Alchimie Forever skin care products were created and developed in Geneva, Switzerland, by Drs. Luigi and Barbara Polla, my parents. My father, Dr. Luigi Polla is a world renowned dermatologist and European leader in the field of cosmetic laser therapy, is an expert on skin aging. My mother, Dr. Barbara Polla, a leader in biomedical research on antioxidants and stress proteins, is a specialist in cellular aging. They created the line originally for our own medical spa clients (we opened one of the first European medical spas, Forever Laser Institut) but the line became so popular that we soon decided to expand distribution beyond Geneva.
