Q: Why did you create it?

A: Necessity is the mother of invention. As the derm-scientist® who both practices dermatology and conducts scientific research, I realized how unmanageable and confusing it was becoming for people with so many new active ingredients continually being developed such that you needed to buy multiple products every month and layer them on in order to do the most for your skin. Patients would dump the “Bloomingdale’s® counter” onto my desk and beg: “Please tell me which of these is worth using and when!”
It was plainly obvious to me that it was time to create a single product that contained all of the key ingredients which were proven to yield cosmetic results to the appearance of the skin in the most important aspects of anti-aging: 1) anti-oxidant 2) anti-wrinkle 3) anti-brown discolorations 4) anti-red discolorations 5) DNA and cellular repair 6) boosting of appearance of skin thickness and 7) smoothening texture.
The challenge was inventing a single product that contained all these key proven ingredients or actives in a way that microtargeted each ingredient to its specified location in the skin. I did just that in my own patent by creating a comprehensive array of microscopic packets addressed to the locations in the skin where each ingredient is designed to work. I call this “rational skincare design.” The ingredients are packaged so that they are active and stable together in a base that is friendly to all skin types and skin problems, coherently and intelligently designed to target all categories of skin aging.  I like to say that 37 Actives "does the thinking for you!"  You just need to apply a pea size amount morning and night after washing the skin with lukewarm water.


Q: What makes 37 Actives superior to other products?

A: I have always spent my academic and professional life focused on what I see as crystal clear what needs to be done in my field, rather than on what everyone else is doing. Therefore, it is up to others to determine the merits of my work. What I saw as the necessary work that needed to be done in the skincare field was the raising of the bar with respect to the scientific evidence behind each and every ingredient and to the comprehensiveness of the product. I found it wasteful that consumers needed to purchase so many products in order to get all the needed ingredients on their skin because each product delivered so few actives. In addition, the next new ingredient is introduced almost daily, confusing consumers and making it very difficult for them to know which of the numerous products they owned they should and could use. A professor of mine at Harvard University once said: “What distinguishes an outstanding physician-scientist from the rest is one who is thorough yet incisive.” My expertise as derm-scientist allows me to accurately and efficiently critically evaluate a myriad of new ingredients for their proven safety and efficaciousness, yet incisively determine which are the most choice for inclusion in a comprehensive product logically designed to address all the different aspects of skin aging. The result is a product that is thorough yet incisive: it contains all the key ingredients proven to deliver results yet covers the key aspects of anti-aging everyone would want for their skin in one unique formula.

Q: What qualifies you to create such a product?

A: As the derm-scientist, my background encompasses both scientific research as well as clinical dermatology. I spent many years in the laboratory in various basic science fields including plant molecular biology, cell and developmental biology, genetics, photobiology and mammalian stem cell biology. I hold three Harvard degrees, a bachelors of arts (BA), a medical degree (MD) and a doctorate (PhD) in genetics. This varied scientific background allows me to efficiently and aptly scour the scientific literature and critically evaluate new molecules for their efficacy, yet with the knowledge and judgment to predict potential safety issues far in advance. Since becoming a board-certified dermatologist, I have continued my scientific research in skincare, working as a consultant to L’Oreal Paris for three years, conducting clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies and laser device companies, as well as independent research on lasers and my newest work in the lab. Importantly, I combine this scientific knowledge and expertise with ongoing care for dermatologic patients. This allows me to observe and follow-up first-hand whether a particular ingredient works and is well-tolerated by patients in the long-term. It also allows me to see what problems need answering in the skin care field. This highly unusual combination of abilities and extensive experience in both science and dermatology is what places me in a unique position to identify and solve the most important challenges, envision the future and elevate the bar in skincare.

Q: What are the unique qualities of 37 Actives?

A: It is the first time that a comprehensive and well-rounded list of proven actives have been combined in a single product, answering the problem of which ingredients do I need and how do I get them all on my skin and can I tolerate them? I have used my extensive knowledge and experience in the science and clinical practice of skin care to create a product that comprehensively combines the most potent and active ingredients one needs to combat the various categories of skin aging. In addition, I have formulated it in such a way as to microtarget each ingredient to the location in the skin where it needs to work and as to be able to apply this product to all regions of the face including the crow’s feet. No longer do you need a serum, a daytime moisturizer, a nighttime moisturizer and an eye cream; all these are combined into one product which cleverly combines all the ingredients one needs for the various categories of anti-aging. The source of each ingredient was chosen to be the most potent available so as to maximize efficaciousness. In addition, this product has been designed to be safe for all skin types and efficacious in sensitive skin patients and acne patients. Finally, I have made a concerted effort to include only USDA certified organically grown plant extracts, paraben-free, propylene glycol-free, fragrance-free, without animal ingredients or testing and made in the United States with only US-sourced ingredients. In sum, this one product delivers a skin consultation in a jar because it comprehensively treats all the various categories of skin aging with the largest number and variety of potent actives proven to deliver results to the skin. It is truly, in my opinion, a breakthrough product that raises the bar in skincare.
