Kim Kardashian’s Go-To InstaFacial, Bottled: Meet Dr. Diamond’s Metacine
Most people know Dr. Jason Diamond for his vampire facials, which made headlines for their rejuvenating skin benefits and their potential for thumb-stopping Instagrams — as demonstrated by Kim Kardashian in 2018.
But Diamond’s latest must-have procedure among celebrity circles can be done in the comfort of your own home with the release of a luxurious new system available to the masses: Dr. Diamond’s Metacine, which mimics the effects of his similarly viral InstaFacial.
Take it from Hilary Duff who said, “I have a deep love for Dr. Diamond’s InstaFacials, and this is that in a bottle.”
“The InstaFacial became many of those in Hollywood’s forward-facing procedure,” Diamond told Us Weekly exclusively. “It became their go-to skincare strategy. It became the thing that they replied upon.”
After catering to A-listers for more than a decade, Diamond decided that having gained so much extensive experience and knowledge with the facial, he wanted to find a way to bottle it. “And that’s how Dr. Diamond’s Metacine was born,” he says, noting that the name is a nod to technology and the future combined with the fact that it’s a medical- and science-backed line.
Making it all the more appealing is the fact that the system consists of just two steps, meaning you can forgo virtually everything else in your skincare lineup, including eye cream but save for facial cleanser and SPF.
The Plasma is a human bioidentical growth serum that supports skin repair and can be used twice daily for a complexion that’s more lifted and luminous. The Emulsion is a bioactive retinoid night cream spiked with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide to aid in collagen growth without irritation, speed up cell renewal and plump the face for a smoother, firmer, tighter appearance.
Together, they create an unparalleled bioactive infusion of power molecules to rejuvenate and transform the skin.
The bottles also promise to transform your vanity which, as Metacine co-founder Tammy Goodarzi explained, was precisely the point, as the sleek gray packaging was created to look beautiful from every persepctive. “You want every angle to look good, just like the face should,” she said.
When clinically testing the results, the dramatic improvement was unprecedented with 90 percent seeing smoother skin in four weeks and 94 percent seeing improved crow’s feet in eight weeks. Those new to the product can expect to see an overnight transformation in terms of radiance.
As Diamond explains, this takes shape in the overall appearance of the skin, which is a combination of “an improvement in texture, tone and color.”
Diamond revealed that countless patients hail it for its overnight results. “People will say that their husband asked if they got a procedure,” he recalled. “They get up in the morning after using it and their skin just looks better.” Adding: “Most people see an immediate benefit literally after the first treatment. And so that’s why people easily fall in love with this. It’s not like they have to wait and wait and wait.”
The brand positions it as “medically inspired, universal skincare to awaken skin’s innate rejuvenating power.” Put simply: “It’s magic,” said Diamond.
Metacine is also beneficial to those who experience melasma from pregnancy, as was the case with Emma Roberts. “I started getting melasma when I was pregnant … so, I started using Dr. Diamond’s Metacine,” the actress said. “I’ve noticed a big difference after using it for about a month.”
Other high-profile actors agree that the effects are well worth the $550 price tag, like Kate Hudson, who said “[it’s] dreamy and creamy. Feels insane. A worth it splurge approval stamp.”
Meanwhile, Olivia Culpo touted it for being “hydration in a bottle” and “a beauty staple for everyone.”
That includes male skincare enthusiasts, like celebrity makeup artist Chris Appleton, who like Diamond, counts Kardashian, 44, as a client. “Too many men don’t take care of their skin,” Appleton, 41, said. “If they want to age well they need to care [for it]. Dr. Diamond is it, and his Metacine is it for me.”
And if it’s good enough for celebrities, it’s certainly good enough for Us.
