The Union of Beauty and Medical Science: a Measurably Different Approach to Skin Care

NEW YORK, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Klinger Advanced Aesthetics (Klinger) and Sephora announce the availability of COSMEDICINE(TM), a new OTC regimen-based line of topical skincare products tested for performance and safety in clinical studies designed and analyzed in consultation with Johns Hopkins Medicine, a world leader in healthcare, education, and research. The product line was formulated after extensive research that revealed unmet consumer needs in addressing healthy skin.

Klinger Advanced Aesthetics sought a skin care product formulation strategy that focused on increased skin health, that was easy to use, and whose performance and safety could be verified by a trusted third party. Johns Hopkins consultation on the test design and data analysis for each of the products resulted in their undergoing a rigorous level of testing uncommon in the cosmetics industry. The COSMEDICINE(TM) line combines OTC actives and accelerated levels of advanced ingredients that have been proven safe and effective in achieving maximum benefits. COSMEDICINE(TM) products are now available exclusively in all 119 Sephora stores throughout the U.S and on their website at http://www.sephora.com/.

"We have worked to create objective standards of skin health along with Johns Hopkins and report them so that consumers can make informed decisions based on verified results about the products they choose to support a lifetime of healthy skin," said Richard Rakowski, Chairman and CEO of Klinger Advanced Aesthetics. "Consumers can be confident when they choose a COSMEDICINE(TM) product, they will be using a product that contains tested and measured ingredients that actually perform as claimed."

"Sephora is dedicated to bringing its clients the latest in advances in skin care," said David Suliteanu, President & Chief Executive Officer of Sephora. "We are very excited to be launching COSMEDICINE in all U.S. Sephora stores and on our website.

Klinger Advanced Aesthetics (Klinger) is the formulator of COSMEDICINE(TM). Klinger is the modern evolution of the vision made famous by the legendary Georgette Klinger (often called the "Dean of Skin Care"). She was an innovator who gained world-acclaim for creating the first medical facial.

Today Klinger is a premier cosmetic medical center with 12 facilities in major U.S. cities. Klinger's approach to appearance improvement addresses SkinState(TM), hair, eyebrows and teeth and treats them as a whole. This vision is different from traditional beauty approaches that focus on single aspects of appearance, one feature at a time and in isolation from one another. It also features an integration of treatments, services (ranging from salon and spa treatments to light medical) and product administered simultaneously in order to achieve measurable results.

Johns Hopkins Medicine, one of the world's most trusted names in academic medicine and scientific research, has been consulting with Klinger and its medical board during the past few years to develop ways to ensure client safety in all aspects of their cosmetic medical service business. Johns Hopkins Medicine consulted with Klinger Advanced Aesthetics on the design and data analysis of clinical studies for the COSMEDICINE(TM) skin care line to evaluate the performance and safety of all COSMEDICINE(TM) products. They have also helped Klinger establish protocols for the consistently safe delivery of cosmetic medical services in their Klinger Advanced Aesthetics centers. Johns Hopkins has helped establish high standards for the clinicians they hire who deliver cosmetic medical care in their facilities and have reviewed the design of each of the medical "wings" of their centers. Klinger's long-standing alliance with John Hopkins Medicine certifies their adherence to the highest degree of safety and expertise as well as the latest scientific breakthroughs and improved technologies in skin health and skin care
