New Product: Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer

January 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m a long time fan of Peter Thomas Roth products, and the fact that their new face serum, Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer contains Dragon’s Blood Complex caught my eye to say the least. I mean, what would Dragon’s Blood do for one’s skin? Increase cellular turn-over due to a thermogenic process? Or perhaps Dragon’s Blood was the active ingredient in a mask Sleeping Beauty put on just before being knocked out and she had a nice long nap for the ingredients to seep in? I was intrigued…

As it turns out, Dragon’s Blood Complex is derived from a tree in the Amazon (still very cool, but I liked my ideas better), and the product helps produce impressive results – the research quote on Sephora states that ” In just four weeks, this product helps boost elastin by 61%, diminishes wrinkles and lines by 56%, and increases pro-collagen by 84%. Dull, aging, overexposed skin is repaired and renewed.”

That would be impressive results even if it was the blood from an actual mythical fire-breathing creature…
