Goldfaden MD skin care

Yesterday I was invited to a breakfast at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood hosted by Goldfaden MD skin care.

And because I’m a celeb stalker, it’s of utmost importance that we see some celebs at Cecconi’s, no? priorities, people.

Anyways, Goldfaden MD was started by Dr. Gary Goldfaden, a dermatologist for over 40 years, and now his daughter Lisa and daughter-in-law Lauren and son are part of the business.

Their claim to fame is Goldfaden MD is the “first dermatologist developed natural skincare brand.”

They’re all about natural, simple products that deliver results without all the additives.  It was funny to hear Lisa talk about how growing up, they weren’t allowed to eat sugar and were eating tofu and salmon before it was ever popular because her father was so dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle.

The 7 product skincare line is not designated organic, but they use organic ingredients as much as possible and are “paraben-free, petrochemical-free, no animal testing, mineral oil-free, alcohol-free, silicone-free, gluten-free, 100% vegetarian, and hypo allergenic”.

While we ate breakfast, we learned about each of the seven products.

The smoked salmon was delicious, nice and salty, but the coffee was lukewarm so I acted like a diva and threw it at the waiter.  I’m joking; I would never waste coffee like that.

The products from what you should start with:

Doctor’s Scrub to exfoliate – if you have oily skin (yup, over here) you can use it everyday.  Loved the texture of it.

Pure Start – cleanser that has botanical extracts to clean and balance skin out.

Radical Difference – serum with organic red tea extract, cherry extract and hyaluronic acid.  I want to try this because I get all excited about serums thinking they’re going to change my life.

There’s two different moisturizers:

Vital Boost – an everyday moisturizer for uneven skin tone with vitamin D, organic red tea, and gooseberry extract.

Wake Up Call – an overnight cream with all the heavy hitters: CoQ10, DMAE, alpha lipoic acid, retinol, organic red tea, avocado oil, grape seed oil and vitamin E.

Bright Eyes – eye cream with soy peptides, vitamin K, rice bran extract, jojoba oil, and organic red tea.

Needle-Less – line smoothing concentrate with pure hyaluronic acid ad acetyl-hexapeptide 3 to plump, tighten and smooth skin.

I haven’t tried any of the products beyond putting them on my hand yesterday, but I loved the texture of the Doctor’s Scrub.  It was so fine without being gritty; Lauren said it was her favorite product and that they use ruby crystals in it. oooh la la fancy.

You can get all the products at their website or dermstore, and the prices range from $32 for the Pure Start cleanser to $115 for the Needle-Less, definitely pricier.

And because my life is all about me, this is what I wore, rocking the JC Penney top:
