"This is one of the few moisturisers that really merits its hefty price. It's a delicately scented lotion that uses certified organic, biodynamic and ethically wild-crafted ingredients in their raw state. It left my skin feeling as soft as velvet all day. Plus a pea-sized amount goes a long way."

"Believing that "health is the essential foundation of beauty", molecular biologist-turned-cosmetic genius Dr. Alkaitis has created a range of natural products made to repair, heal and protect skin from the elements. The latest US brand to cross the Atlantic, the range takes a holistic approach to beauty. We love the Organic Day Cream, which stimulates the oxygen supply to the surface of the skin and, thanks to a cocktail of ingredients like Aloe Vera, St John's Wort flowers and Echinacea root, you can be assured that your skin is in the best possible hands. £65, 50ml."
"Dr Alkaitis, a molecular biologist and specialist in organic, plant-based ingredients, has launched an eponymous range of nine products to rebuild the health and strength of the skin. The Organic Universal Mask, £55, is really effective at calming an inflamed complexion."

"Dr Alkaitis Organic Eye Cream, £39, uses refreshing, repairing aloe vera, green tea and wild rose. They may be pricey but a little goes a long way"

"The ultimate Californina macrobiotic range, arriving in London later this month - natural, ethical and high-end with fans ranging from grande dame make-up artist Mary Greenwell to model Karolina Kurkova. Products contain 100 per cent organically produced "live" ingredients so fresh Dr A claims they are all edible. With exotic wild ingredients including borage, elder and wild fennel...Does it work?Yes. Tested the organic universal mask on a rather cross, blotchy face. It calmed down the irritation and softened the skin. Who's it for? The eco-chic princess whose body is a temple..."

"You may want to try biodynamic beautifiers for that extra-special something. Dr. Alkaitis skincare...certainly goes one step further...the range has created a buzz among beauty insiders...there are no synthetic ingredients, only extracts of plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables. These are then formulated to replicate the balance in which they are found in nature....my skin is plumper and better able to retain moisture, even with just a smidgen of cream."

Beauty - "A recipe for perfect skin...
An acclaimed research scientist, a face mask that works better if you mix it with yoghurt and honey and a name that's hard to pronounce...Put these elements together and you have a beauty marketer's dream. Dr. Alkaitis skincare...has that heady combinaton of weird and wonderful that seems to work so well. Dr. Saulius Alkaitis originally used his knowledge of molecular biology and pharmacognosis (the study of the medicinal properties of plants) to create skincare products for his wife. Try the Orgainc Purifying Cleanser, which has a cold-pressed organic olive oil and herb formula that's been through a six-month aging process."

Soothe away all the misery of hay fever
"My other tip is: change from chemically based wonder creams to Dr. Alkaitis natural products for the summer months to get rid of the blotching and drying - but don't forget to use it on a deceptively 'good' day.
Dr Alkaitis is the ultimate West Coast skin guru, offering the sort of range Gwyneth Paltrow at her most macrobiotically virtuous would have in the bathroom. All his cleansers, eye creams and moisturisers are full of ingredients so wholesome you'd have to be really attention-seeking to be allergic to them. Dr. Alkaitis's gel-like orange evening cleanser is a handy instant remedy to take to the loo at work when you really need to stop the itch-scratch cycle. The ingredient list sounds like a wholefood meal and products should be used within a year as there are no preservatives. But a little really does go a long way."
