A few months ago, I was lucky enough to attend an event that was attended by Airelle Skincare. I also got an opportunity to chat with founder Kasey Drapeau D’Amato, an aesthetic dermatology, Physician Assistant, to learn more about Airelle’s unique approach.
Airelle’s goal was to create the best natural anti-aging skin care products on the market. As I’m sure you realize, this is a very hot product market these days.
Environmental damage is a leading cause of skin damage and collagen breakdown, the founders of Airelle targeted trying to develop a product line that protects that collagen. It’s taken a global effort coordinating the expertise of dermatology experts, cosmetic chemists, and formulators to come up with the final result.
A key ingredient they’ve developed and patented is BERRIMATRIX®: a proprietary formulation of deeply concentrated blueberry extract, with 5X higher antioxidant levels than average. States the Airelle website: “BERRIMATRIX® is packed with anti-aging ingredients that have been shown to help minimize, slow and, in some cases, reverse the signs of aging on the skin.”
I was sent a few of the products to try out.
Step 1: Exfoliating Cleanser
This was one of my favorite Airelle product, hands down. I am always on the lookout for a good exfoliating cleanser, and I’ve tried many different brands. It is very fine grit, just the right amount. It leaves my skin feeling amazing and smooth.
Step 2: Intense Hydrating Repair Complex
The next step in a good skin care regime. This has a light oil texture, and absorbs well but not too quickly – so you can use a small amount to cover your entire face.
Step 3: Age-Defying Facial Serum
Contains the BERRIMATRIX ingredient. It smells amazing and also feels amazing. A tiny amount seems to hydrate my entire face. I was surprised this one was considered the “serum”, as it seems like a light moisturizing lotion to me. Absolutely love this, and definitely recommend it.
I also tried an Airelle Age Defying Eye + Lip Treatment.
First, it has the texture of an oil. That came as a surprise.
Second, the applicator is a roller ball. Which makes sense, given surprise number one. It’s actually a great way to dispense the product, as you don’t waste any on your fingertips, and it gives you more precise control over where you’d like to apply.
Third, Oh well, what the heck. It’s easy to apply, and why not kill two birds with one stone? I’m all for that
I just wanted to give you a little insight into what was said during my chat with founder Kasey Drapeau D’Amato
What motivated you to start Airelle? And what inspired the name?
Kasey:
I am passionate about antioxidants, especially in skin care. Antioxidants provide so many benefits to the skin but my particular interest is in the ability of antioxidants to be “photo-protective” which means that the right kind of antioxidant can help to protect from environmental radiation and help to prevent wrinkles from forming. I love the power of blueberry as an antioxidant so I researched the most powerful species and developed an antioxidant compound based on the blueberry called Berrimatrix. The name “Airelle” is actually a French translation of the word “berry” because I love the power of the berry!
What is your favorite Airelle product?
Kasey:
I love the Age-Defying Facial Serum. It is lightweight but power-packed full of high-performance ingredients. It absorbs quickly and will help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help reduce the appearance of pore size, and celebrity makeup artists love it as a makeup primer. I apply it morning and night and it makes my skin look flawless and amazing.
Anything new in the pipeline for the line?
Kasey:
There are so many exciting things in the pipeline for Airelle. We are a young brand and there is a ton in store for the future. I can’t reveal too much just yet but check back in a few months and I might be able to give you some sneak peeks into what the future has in store for the first clean and naturally derived skin care to be recognized by the US medical community!
