Starlets from Hollywood’s
golden age turned to one man for flawless, screen-worthy skin: Erno Laszlo,
M.D.
Known for creating customized creams for Marilyn Monroe,
Grace Kelly and other iconic beauties, the doctor’s best formulas have recently
been updated for a new generation. The new Hollywood Collection contains five
must-have products based on the good doctor’s original treatments. —
In celebration of the brand’s 85th anniversary, select
formulas were pulled from the Erno Laszlo archives and infused with the latest
skincare technology:
-
Instant Eye Repair, $85, contains rosemary leaf extract,
apricot oil and zinc to moisturize and soothe the sensitive eye area. The
formula is based on Ava Gardner’s customized treatment. -
Morning Beauty Rescue, $95, hydrates skin and increases
collagen production with pearl extracts. The whipped gel is modeled after
Marilyn Monroe’s anti-aging moisturizer. -
Intensive Porcelain Veil, $140, keeps skin soft and smooth
with shea butter avocado oil. Originally formulated for Katherine Hepburn,
today’s version is designed for sun-damaged or mature skin. -
Refresh Moisture Infusion, $125, infuses skin with 24-hour
moisture. Packed with tourmaline and antioxidants, the rich cream is based on
Grace Kelly’s nourishing treatment. -
Velvet Night Cream, $175, addresses fine line and wrinkles
with hyaluronic acid and natural plant extracts. The creamy nighttime formula
is based on Greta Garbo’s night cream.
All products are currently available online at

in a box set, $125.
