Recognizing Excellence

The skin care industry is bursting at the seams with top-rate, professional product lines. Like never before, professionals have a smorgasbord from which to choose when selecting the products to sell in their spas. While retail counters from California to New York are sampling from this diverse array of brands, it is hard to deny that there seems to be a select few that stand out among the rest – the crème de la crème that spas across the United States just can’t seem to get enough of. Yes, through hard work and a whole lot of gusto, there are companies clearly distinguishing themselves as leaders in the industry. And while their names line the shelves of spas near and far, the late nights, long flights, hours of perfecting formulas, and time away from home go unseen. These giants sacrifice much to make inspiring, game-changing contributions to the industry and DERMASCOPE Magazine wants to tell their stories; we want to recognize excellence.
