The Adorage MD skincare line was created by three fascinating women: Ida, a skin cancer survivor. Ella, a doctor of internal medicine. And, Yelena a dermatological nurse with 18 years of experience working with Manhattan's most in-demand dermatologists. Together they have created the first luxury skincare line to combine gentle neutralized glycolic acid and active ingredients with one of the world's coveted botanical recipes. In this interview, Ida talks about the creation of Adorage and what makes it work.

How was the concept for Adorage MD skin care born?

We have 3 partners-women of 50 years old: 1. a nurse in a famous dermatologist office in Manhattan with major clientele ?celebrities and socialites 2. me ?with a background in health care and future DR. of naturopathy and nutrition 2. a journalist.Everybody had different goals: 1. never saw a skin care line which gives real results( she is very experienced nurse)2. I was looking that it has to be safe( I have melanoma history) 3. Had a very bad skin and money to invest.

What is different about Adorage MD?

We are the first luxury skin care line to combine gentle neutralized Glycolic acid and active ingredients: Retinol, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid with rare and pure botanical extracts.(Antistress cream was developed having in mind old apothecary recipe fro France from the 19 century, which was given to us by the relatives of French movie star of the 60-ies Delphine Vouler.

How do you come up with the formulas and ingredients that go into Adorage MD products?

Being a professional in dermatology-our partner(nurse) new what are the ingredients which really work
Me, studying naturopathy was against parabens as preservatives and other dangerous chemical ingredients. And we also had sensitive skin in mind( during more than a year selling the products we never had any single return because of allergy)
We started to formulate it in US but failed and spent a lot of money and time. We decided to develop and produce in France-the capital of cosmetic industry.

Hyaluronic acid serum technology and Gel C are the patents of laboratory which produced this skin care line all our skin products are FDA registered.

Where would be a great place to start for someone who never used Adorage skin care before?

If you mean where to buy-we have an internet store and a phone 201-886-7000 to contact a person who will explain what a person needs to buy. Also we are successfully selling in the dermatologist office which I mentioned (the products are flying away from the shelves literally)
There is a store in LA ?Body, Beauty and more??We just started not long ago. So, there are other stores in our plans.

How Adorage MD is a best alternative to dermal filler such as: Restylane and Juvaderm?

These fillers consist of the same ingredient-Hyaluronic acid. This substance is diminished with age , but it helps our skin to look hydrated and plumed . If a person starts using this product from young age she/he prolongs the time when the skin is young, have elasticity, no wrinkles. So the person doesn't need to fill up the wrinkles with very expensive esthetic injections.

Our Hyaluronic acid is our best seller-it has greatest penetration ability under the skin due to a precursor stage of its molecules. They are smaller than skin's molecules. It is not greezy or sticky as the same named products on the market.

What's in Adorage MD's ?Secret Recipe??

Antistress cream was formulated on the base of ?The secret Recipe. It is developed for women after 40 , and is loaded with Soy , Soy Germa, and Ginestein extracts which are natural estrogens and antioxidants , providing skin's elasticity, stimulating collagen production, strengthening the capillary walls, providing firmness to the skin. Paired with Glycolic acid, these botanicals compel the skin to start rejuvenating itself. But secret is the secret and I can't provide you with the secret formulation
