People often compliment me on my skin tone and I tell them there are 2 things I do to care for my skin. First, and very important, I protect my skin from sun damage by using EltaMD sunscreen which I purchase through Aesthetic Skin and Laser Center (Erin is excellent and will help you with your order) and second, I use Dr. Barsd Illuminated Skincare products. Why? Because Dr Bard's products are free of preservatives, plant-based and totally natural, work well on my skin, and are priced very fairly. I particularly love the deep cleansing lotion and extreme rejuvenation creme. The whole product line addresses all skin types and needs. I trust Dr. Barad completely and HIGHLY recommend her skin care line and all of the services offered at the Aesthetic Skin and Laser Center.

I've been seeing Dr. Barad for a few years now. At first I was to scared of injectables but her skin care is AMAZING and well priced. I have tried Botox/filler now and an overly happy about the results. I only wished I had tried them sooner. She's awesome!!

Dr. Barad's skincare line has absolutely changed my skin. I have tried countless products of varying price points, yet nothing seemed to work. My skin was dry and oily with uneven colors and textures--but after just a few weeks, had changed completely. I have been using these products for over a year now and will never choose anything else!!! The Reparative Stem Cell Serum, face wash, and the exfoliator are holy grails of mine, though every single product I have tried has worked flawlessly on my sensitive skin. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Barad and Illuminated SkinCare!!

I have been using Dr. Barad's skin care products for about 6 weeks now and I noticed significant improvement in the texture of my skin I have been very pleased with the results and my skin feels and looks much better, fresher and healthier since I use Dr. Barad's skin care products. Also I’m very glad to know that I don’t have to worry about any exposure to chemicals or toxins.
