press release

RED BANK, NJ - Garmany, the Garden State’s recently expanded upscale fashion emporium based here, proudly announces that renowned dermatologist Dr. Fredric Brandt will make a special appearance at the store’s new cosmetics department February 11 to share the anti-aging secrets of his eponymous skincare line during one-on-one consultations with Garmany’s valued customers. Consultations by Dr. Brandt and his staff of skincare specialists will take place between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. and are by appointment only.

“We are very excited to share Dr. Brandt’s expertise with our customers,” said Laureano Garmany, founder of Garmany. “We pride ourselves on bringing unique fashion and service to our customers and Dr. Brandt’s appearance, which is the inaugural special event for our cosmetics boutique, shows our commitment to this pledge.”

Dr. Brandt’s skincare line epitomizes the Garmany philosophy of unparalleled quality supported by expert knowledge. As the showcase brand for the store’s new cosmetics department, Dr. Brandt offers Garmany shoppers a fusion of science with active botanicals. Dr. Brandt products make their debut at Garmany with the lineless collection, the poreless collection, Dr. Brandt’s famous laser in a bottle, microdermabrasion in a jar and crease release, to name just a few.

The lineless collection includes a gel cleanser, tone, cream, eye cream and soothing mask, made with green tea, white tea and grapeseed extract, antioxidants known for their skin-saving properties. The poreless collection combines salicylic acid, an anti-irritant, lipid soluble acid, with antibacterial tea tree to control excess facial oil, refine enlarged pores and balance combination oily skin.

Dr. Brandt’s innovative laser in a bottle mimics the results of laser technology with QuSome™, a patented delivery system that nano-encapsulates potent ingredients to deliver them to the deeper layers of the skin. Laser in a bottle is formulated with Dr. Brandt’s signature anti-oxidants --- green tea and white tea --- to help skin fight free radical damage, and grapeseed extract to protect collagen and elastin for firmer skin. Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion in a jar is a unique combination of skin-beautifying botanicals, hydrating honey and evenly shaped crystals that polish away dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, younger looking glow. Crease release, a favorite product among celebrities, is a patented GABA complex that rapidly diffuses the appearance of wrinkles, revealing a complexion free of fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet and signs of stress.

Dr. Brandt’s day of personal consultations will take place on the second-floor women’s department of Garmany’s new, grander location at 121 Broad Street, which ushered in the introduction of glamorous women’s wear from such designers as Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Roberto Cavalli, among others. The Garmany women’s level features designer-specific shops, an extensive footwear department, a convenient ladies’ lounge and even a mini-theatre to safely entertain children while their mothers shop to their hearts’ content.
