As Vitelle’s founder, I have been on the ground floor of development for every product we offer. I wouldn’t release a product I don’t believe in, but I must admit, I do have a few favorites.

The reality is, everyone’s skin is different, and as someone who has navigated almost 30 years in the skincare manufacturing business, I am religiously consistent with what I apply to my own skin and the type of ingredients I look for. Without a doubt the most frequent question I’m asked at Industry Events is “What products do you use?”

My “Founder’s Edit” isn’t a list of our best-sellers or the latest trends. It is just my personal favorites, a carefully curated lineup of the products I reach for because of how they make my skin look and feel and what ingredients they contain.

Here is a look at the ingredients in these products that have made the most impact on my skin.

 

The Hydration Foundation: Comforting Moisture

An important component of my routine is hydration. I remember when I was in my early 20’s one esthetician I met mentioned she adds a product/layer for each decade – I have pretty much followed this philosophy (but I’m not going to say how many layers I’m at!). My routine is built around layering, adding hydrating and revitalizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, and dynamic plant extracts.

Using formulations rich in these skincare fundamentals make my skin feel dewy, pampered and balanced. I prioritize hydration because dryness accentuates the look of wrinkles and staying hydrated is important for both your body and the skin!

 

Gentle Exfoliation & Natural Radiance

I am focused on maintaining a smooth, silky look, but my skin requires a delicate touch. I can’t use Retinols or AHAs and haven’t done lasers, so I rely on gentle physical exfoliation to manage texture.

I also prioritize natural skin illuminators such as Vitamin C, Arbutin and botanical-source Pea-derived Actiwhite®. These ingredients deliver the results I want and I have noticed a greater uniformity of skin tone and amplified radiance without irritation or harsh side effects. Formulations centered around these attributes work beautifully for me.

 

Pure Peptide Power

Finally, my routine would not be complete without Peptides and superstar ingredient Voluform™, a natural alternative to fillers that supports the scaffold of the skin. I gravitate towards products with Peptides, as I believe they are vital in a pro-age skincare regimen. I also like ingredients that support skin volume retention, fighting the loss of volume and thinning skin that occurs with chronological aging.

Four of the standout products from this collection are our Eye Serum and Neck and Décolleté Crème containing peptides and a Nighttime Crème and Serum containing Voluform™.

I love how these products make my skin feel. They work synergistically, cocooning my skin in a silky, luxurious layer of ultra-revitalizing goodness. It is the nourishing hug my skin needs to feel it’s best.

 

Discover Your Own Ingredient Edit

The “Founder’s Edit” is what works for me. It’s my personalized regimen of premium hydration, gentle texture refinement, and scientifically validated peptide-driven amplification, but skincare is personal. It’s my hope that this peek into my personal program will help you find the perfect products that your skin will love.
