Amy Peterson, one of Miami’s most sought after aestheticians, is not about gatekeeping—she’s been openly sharing product recommendations and skin-care tips for years. It’s fair to say she’s tried almost everything out there, but she still felt like something was missing, so she made it herself. Peterson’s new brand, Lenox and Sixteenth, named after the cross streets where you’ll find her spa, has launched with two innovative formulas.
Peterson said if you don’t see results quickly from the Laser Serum ($219), she didn’t do her job, which felt like a bold statement at first. However, after a month of using the serum at night, I can attest to the benefits, especially in soothing active acne and helping fade dark spots.
The formula, packed with lactic, glycolic and mandelic acids, is inspired by in-clinic lasers. The powerful serum exfoliates and resurfaces for a brighter, smoother complexion yet still keeps skin hydrated and calm. In a consumer perception study, 90 percent of users agreed their skin appeared more even and less dull, and they also noticed an improvement in skin luminosity. Continued use will grant you glass skin with a more even tone and texture.
It can be hard to find a product that targets hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, active acne, textured skin, fine lines and wrinkles, but this one does it all to help simplify your routine. Reviewers cite “magical results” that changed their skin and allowed them to feel confident enough to go out without makeup.
