A Miracle Kit from Patricia Wexler, MD?
Purchasing skin care can be daunting and overwhelming, especially at the high prices for purchasing individual items.
Bath & Body Works offers Patricia Wexler's Universal Anti-Aging Solution Starter Kit, usually priced at $65.00, but is now selling for $45.00. A miracle kit if it can help with facial lines and early signs of wrinkles.
The anti-aging skin care kit is marketed as being the complete answer to skin care needs with a 30 day supply for a range of skin products.
The most interesting product is called the MMPi Skin Regenerating Serum. (MMP's are a major culprit in the aging of skin.) From cleansers, to moisturizers, to anti-aging serums, the scope of this kit is impressive.
People Magazine calls Patricia Wexler, M.D. the "secret weapon for celebrities and socialites." Her clients range from P. Diddy to Donna Karan. More important than her client roster is Wexler's philiosophy that, "You don't need a bathroom cabinet full of products to get results. Only the right ones."

Hello, first off I want to say this is a great website! As for this particular product: I bought this starter kit back when it was first introduced and I was very disappointed. The products seemed to do nothing for me (perhaps because my skin is pretty good to start with?). The serum in partcular has a strange, almost sticky consistency. The eye cream made my eyes water, though it's supposed to be suitable for sensitive eyes. Also, the scent from her products is really strong and lingers and is nauseating (for me, at least). The only product I'd recommend here is the exfoliating scrub; its granules are really fine. However it does not seem any better than other similar exfoliation products.

I purchased Patricia Wexler,M.D.'s MMPI Rejuvenating Facial Serum from Bath and Body Works. I put it on a clean face like the directions say. I did not put it around my eyes. I woke up the next morning with my right eye half swollen shut and a large, red bag underneath my eye. It took several hours of laying with my head back with a bag of frozen peas to get the swelling down. The day after, the redness still exists and I have red blotches all over my face. As the product says "discontinue if irritation occurs" - I certainly did and threw it in the trash.

I have been using the Dr. Wexler products for about 6 mos.now and 3 times in one week people have commented on how great my skin looks. I have always worn foundation since I was a teenager and my skin looks so great now that I don't need anything but sun-screen and a bit of powder. That's it. I don't need to be a slave to make-up anymore. All thanks to Dr. Wexler's products. The night repair in the red jar is fantastic. It's easy to apply and has a light smell. Not greasy at all. The first two times I used it my face was kind of red in the morning, but I have tried lots of products in my life and I had the sense to let my skin get used to the new cream. Believe me, I am glad I stayed with it.

I've used the Patricia Wexler line for about a year now and think it's fantastic. My skin has always been good, but at 40 I get lots more compliments than I did before I used the products. It's really easy to use and I like that it's not a complicated line like many out there.

I have been using the Wexler products for a month now, and just went to Bath and Body to get another kit. I love it. My skin looks great, no reactions from anything, and I've gotten many compliments. The best one was someone telling me that my face was sooo soft. I loved it. It's easy to use and I feel better about myself. The regenerating serum took a little getting used to since it is thick, but I have used olive oil based products before, so it didn't take long to love the feel of it... Try it,,

I've found that every time I adopt a new regimen people tell me my skin looks great. This convinces me that the skin, like the hair, probably needs a change now and then. These products don't all work the same.

I just started using this line of products and I am absolutely in love with them. I have tried everything from expensive, to cheap to recommended to reviews written etc. I tried this on a whim and I have been using it for two weeks and I can not say enough great things. My skin feels like I used washed it ALL DAY. NO oil, no shine and my skin is clear. With the money back guarantee, everyone should try it.

I have had problems with the two-part microdebrasion. I used it at night and it amade the area around my eyes red the next morning. This kind of allergic reaction sort of looks like a slight burn. Yuck! Not sure if the pink gel that's called MMPi Skin Regenerating Serum is also to blame as well as I used it a few days before the two-part stuff. The directions for the two-part stuff do say to keep away from eyes, nostrils, and mouth. But a lot of your face is around those parts...! The warning is in extremely tiny type, mainly on a separate piece of paper. There are no ingredients listed for anything. I think this makes the product rather suspicious. Fortunately, I purchased this at a really low discounted price. I think I am going to have to throw most of it away. That's just my experience.

I have used Wexler for about a year now. I love the skin brightening moisturizer with spf. It really does well with all day hydration. My skin is smoother, pores are smaller and overall tone is more even. I have even noticed a reduction in the appearance of freckles from too much tanning in my 20's. I still struggle somewhat with blackheads on my nose although I have seen improvement since I started using the microdermabrasion more regularly.

I just tried the face cleanser, the eye cream and the skin regenerating serum...all trial products in the Patricia Wexler anti-aging kit and I cannot believe how much my face is burning! This is awful! I have washed my face several times since, trying to remove the residue, but it's still burning. I even tried half and half (for the cream) to neutralize it-(you know, like when you eat a hot pepper?) -but, no luck! My face is still red and on fire! Don't use this stuff! Please believe me. Email me if you want me to verify the veracity of my claim. What a waste of money! It's just horrible!
