Summer Beauty: Kirby Dermaceuticals

By

The following giveaway is open to US and CAN residents.

Any Big Brother fans out there? Woooot!

So what do you think of the veterans returning this season? And, speaking of, Rachel: Love or Hate? (I Love!) Do you think the newbies have a fighting chance? What happened to Evil Dick? And, what the heck does this all have to do with Kirby Dermaceuticals, my next beauty feature?

It’s simple. Big Brother fans will have a special place in their hearts for the dermatologist behind Kirby Dermaceuticals – Dr. Will Kirby. Yes, it’s Dr. Evil from Big Brother Seasons 2 & 7!

“A licensed physician in California since 2002 and board certified in Dermatology, Dr. Kirby’s medical practice is limited to clinical and cosmetic dermatology with an with an emphasis on facial aesthetic enhancement and complexion enrichment.

After winning the popular CBS reality show Big Brother in 2001, Dr. Kirby went on to host NBC’s Love Shack, serve as a medical correspondent for Extra, and even guest star on daytime’s most popular soap opera, The Young and The Restless. Dr. Kirby’s confident on-screen persona and vast dermatological knowledge have quickly made him a much sought-after physician in the world of celebrity skin care. The Kirby Dermaceuticals product line is a result of his passion to make an important part of his world-class skill and personal skin care regime available to everyone.”

I received a spectacular selection of Kirby Dermaceuticals products to try out:

Pictured, from left to right: Antioxidant Moisturizer, Nighttime Ani-Aging Cream, Eye Repair Complex, Sensitive Skin Face Cream, Under Eye Recovery Serum and Anti-Aging Cleanser.

My first impression of the products: they were much more basic and no-frills than I would expect from Dr. Kirby. No fancy names (a cleanser is called – shock! – a cleanser) and the packaging is effortless and straightforward.

Inside, the line carries through that theme of simplicity: formulated with no harsh colours or fragrances, all of the products are made with pure, natural and medically advanced ingredients. In other words, here is a skin care line that focuses on results.

ANTIOXIDANT MOISTURIZER
ANTI-AGING CLEANSER

I tested the products on and off for a period of two weeks (anyone who knows me will confirm I’m terrible at sticking to a regime). One of the first things I noticed is that Kirby Dermaceuticals is missing a liquid toner – with good reason: the Anti-Aging Cleanser did its part to completely wash away makeup and dirt. The cleanser contains vitamins A, C, E, Co-Q 10 and the most powerful antioxidants Green Tea and White Tea. And despite its decidedly unsexy packaging, this product is still on my bathroom vanity in regular rotation.

Kirby Dermaceuticals Anitoxidant Moisturizer is lightweight and absorbs into the skin easily. The directions are to apply sparingly, and I’d tend to agree; a little goes a long way. The kicker? It’s only $13.00! I had expected a formulation of this calibre to be at least in the $30-$40 range, so it’s refreshing to see that Kirby Dermaceuticals products are not only effective, but affordable too.

Rounding out the skin care regime:

Eye Serum: Minimize the look of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as increase skin firmness and tightness. This specially formulated serum contains a comprehensive system of peptides, chelators, antioxidants and moisturizers to help in the reduction in the appearance of under-eye dark circles and puffiness. Also enhances skin texture and smoothness.

Nighttime Anti-Aging Cream: Specifically prepared with the purpose of super-intense hydration, this cream offers some the highest levels of skin-rejuvenating compounds available today. Consisting of a proprietary blend of some of the most powerful anti-aging ingredients, this cream was designed to aid in the diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles. This cream is also enhanced with antioxidants, herbal extracts and moisturizers that can nourish, protect, sooth and smooth aging, stressed skin.

All in all, Kirby Dermaceuticals is a welcome change from overpriced, overly fancy skin care products. I welcome you to try them out – in this case, Dr. Evil has done good.
