From Jennifer Aniston to Cameron Diaz, Rob Lowe to Tom Cruise, Emmy-Award winning makeup artist Camille Calvet has built a 30-year legacy in making some of Hollywood’s biggest stars ready to lead in iconic films. On top of a successful career in Hollywood, Calvet is the game-changing CEO and founder of award-winning skincare line, SilcSkin, dedicated to developing non-invasive solutions for the safe and effective removal of wrinkles and fine lines. SilcSkin is the first of its kind to use natural silicone patches that adhere to your skin while you sleep—without using toxic adhesives—to keep all areas of your body smooth and wrinkle-free, safely and effectively without irritation. They treat your wrinkles like scars and heal them while you sleep. They are a compliment or alternative to Botox, fillers and creams.
SilcSkin got its start in developing solutions for wrinkles over twenty years ago, as Calvet was the first to repurpose and redesign Silicone Scar Gel Sheeting for Antiwrinkle, anti-aging products. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the best possible results were achieved and quality was not compromised. All manufacturing takes place in the U.S.A. and Calvet and the company pride themselves on using a platinum curing process to refine the silicone, ensuring only the purest reaches the consumer. SilcSkin pads are stronger and last longer than the competition, and they don’t use any additives.
