Samolitis cofoundedFacile Dermatology & Boutiquein 2016 with her business partner Danielle Nadick Levy in Los Angeles.
I already have a face wash I use religiously (Fresh Soy Face Cleanser).
“Most hyaluronic acid serums tend to be sticky,” she says.

It incorporatestranexamic acid,azelaic acid,niacinamide,andvitamin Eto help lighten discoloration and protect the skin barrier.
I use it daily, but my personal favorite is Clear.
“Scientific studies have shown the benefits of these ingredients when used together,” says Koestline.
Brighten is a gentler exfoliant compared to Clear, but includes ingredients known for helping lessen pigmentation.
However, they aren’t recommended to be used during pregnancy.
They may also require a prescription.
Because of this, Samolitis wanted to ensure Facile’s brightening offering was accessible to everyone.
The Brighten serum also has a slight shimmer to it, which acts as a glowy primer pre-makeup.
It incorporates soothing ingredients like phytosphingosine, an anti-inflammatory that protects from allergens and irritants.
Samolitis discovered it after a trip to the vet with her dog.
“(Phytosphingosine) is actually very commonly used in veterinary medicine.
This is a little weird, but I learned about it from a veterinary dermatologist,” she explains.
I used a product that (my vet) recommended, and it cleared up in like two days.
Then there’s Reverse, the serum for those who want a firmer, smoother complexion.
Of course, it was created by a person I trust wholeheartedly, which helps.
