Overview
The Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care company was created in 1993 by Peter Thomas Roth, who is the son of a Hungarian spa/hotel operator. Peter had an interest in skin care from an early age and as an adult he sought to treat his own skin problems such as acne, fine lines, and sunspots. The goal of Peter Thomas Roth products is to use potent and effective ingredients combined with advanced scientific technology to create a wide variety of products that can meet the needs of those with specific skin problems and varied skin types.
The line of products created by Peter Thomas Roth specifically for the treatment of aging skin is called Un-Wrinkle. There are four different products available in the Un-Wrinkle line and they are the Un-Wrinkle serum, eye, night, and peel pads. Each of the products in the Un-Wrinkle line contains various blends of peptides and neuro-peptides and the products claim to be a “pain-free alternative” to Botox.
