The latest iteration of body care products are far from boring, and they do much more than just hydrate skin. Macrene Actives’ newly launched Skyros body care line is pure proof: The dermatologist-endorsed body lotion and body cream treat your extremities and torso to a host of ingredients that brighten, firm and smooth. If you’re looking to give your skin a glow ahead of spring and summer, these releases might just be your secret weapon.
The powerhouse behind Macrene Actives, Dr. Macrene Alexiades, is a New York City-based dermatologist with three Harvard degrees, an elite client list, and a knack for inventing transformative skincare formulas with plant-based ingredients. Dr. Alexiades goes the extra mile to ensure that the products in her line live up to her claims: As a contributor to numerous peer-reviewed publications, she can trust what her products promise.
Since its launch in 2009, Macrene Actives (formerly 37 Actives) has set a high standard for clean beauty, using ethically sourced USDA certified organic ingredients and plastic-free packaging. The line launched with face cream, then expanded to offer cleansers, tinted moisturizers, and eye cream (read our Macrene Actives eye cream review here). Each product quickly gained cult-favorite status among eco-minded beauty lovers; the line’s popularity even earned it a spot in Moda Operandi’s debut beauty line. You can also shop for skin care deals at Neiman Marcus and MacreneActives.com.
Notable ingredients in Macrene Actives products include mushroom extract, olive oil derivatives, and coffee bean extracts, many of which are harvested on Dr. Alexiades’ 14-acre farm in Rhinebeck, New York. Macrene Actives’ two new Skyros body care products contain those firming, moisturizing and brightening ingredients with the addition of rejuvenating Greek medicinal botanicals such as lemon balm, olive leaf and verbena, a nod to Greek heritage. from Dr. Alexiades. Apply the lotion or cream regularly, and you can expect fewer fine lines and dry patches, with a big boost in skin elasticity. The High Performance Body Lotion brings together the ingredients in a light formula suitable for summer; High Performance Body Cream is thicker and designed for dry skin. No matter which one you choose, your body will get the royal treatment it deserves.
