A couple of months ago, during the vibrant chaos of Art Basel’s beauty event, I found myself navigating a room full of industry insiders and skincare enthusiasts. Amid the buzz, a close friend who runs a beauty brand nudged me and said, “You absolutely have to meet Amy Peterson.” I had heard whispers about Amy before — a celebrity medical aesthetician known for her confidential list of A-list clients — but I hadn’t met her in person.
What I didn’t expect was to walk away with a glimpse into a skincare revolution happening right in Miami Beach. Amy is launching her own skincare line, Lenox and Sixteenth, named after the intersection where her clinic is located. As someone who has struggled with acne for nearly half my life (I’m 31), I was instantly intrigued by the promise of products inspired by the transformative treatments Amy provides daily in her clinic.
The Birth of The Laser Serum: Science Meets Real Results
Amy handed me a small sample of The Laser Serum — her soon-to-be star product — right there at the event as we sipped club sodas. The serum’s name immediately caught my attention. It’s a nod to the brightening and resurfacing effects reminiscent of the in-clinic laser treatments Amy performs.
What makes The Laser Serum stand out is its unique blend of three potent yet gentle acids: lactic, glycolic, and mandelic. These ingredients work synergistically to exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth texture, and reveal a more radiant complexion without the harsh downtime that often accompanies professional laser treatments.
Amy shared with me, “I loved seeing my patients’ skin transform after laser or microneedling, but I felt frustrated that there weren’t products that offered comparable results without the recovery time. Many people struggle with retinol, which can be irritating. I wanted to create something better — effective, gentle, and easy to use daily.” And that’s how The Laser Serum was born.
My Experience: Real Results in Real Time
Back home, I added the serum to my nightly routine. Despite its unassuming packaging, what was inside felt like liquid gold. Within just a week, I noticed my skin was noticeably smoother, and breakouts were becoming less frequent. As someone with persistent acne and acne scars, this was a game changer. Amy confirms, “The serum is amazing for acne too,” which I can wholeheartedly agree with.
After finishing the two generous samples Amy gave me, I was convinced this product could become a luxury skincare staple. Yes, the price tag is $219 — a considerable investment. But when compared to other high-end serums that didn’t deliver the same visible results, I believe every penny is justified.
The serum’s lightweight texture absorbs quickly and leaves behind a subtle tingling sensation — a sign of the acids at work. After two months of consistent use, the stubborn roughness around my chin and jawline significantly softened, and the acne-induced hyperpigmentation on my cheeks faded remarkably.
Introducing The Preservationist: A Next-Level Vitamin C Serum-Cream Hybrid
Lenox and Sixteenth didn’t stop there. They recently launched The Preservationist, a vitamin C serum-cream hybrid designed to complement The Laser Serum. Amy explains, “I wanted to create a one-stop vitamin C product that delivers an incredible glow with a texture that feels luxurious.”
The Preservationist combines potent vitamin C with peptides and vegan exosomes — advanced ingredients that help plump, firm, and fortify the skin’s natural barrier. Amy has noticed a shift in her clients’ skincare goals, with many looking to “pre-juvenate” — meaning they want to prevent early signs of aging before they appear, rather than just correct them.
Priced at $249, or bundled with The Laser Serum for $398, this creamy serum feels indulgent on the skin. I personally prefer using it at night, as it’s a bit rich for my oily skin during the day, but it also works beautifully as a hydrating base under makeup for a radiant finish. The dark brown glass bottle isn’t just for looks — it protects the sensitive vitamin C formula from sunlight and heat, preserving its efficacy.
Why Lenox and Sixteenth Stands Out
What truly sets Amy Peterson and her line apart is the dedication and passion she pours into every product. “I wish I could be packaged in every bottle to check on everyone’s skin,” she joked. That hands-on approach is why her clinic thrives and why her products feel so thoughtfully designed.
Her skincare philosophy is simple yet powerful: combine in-office treatments with potent at-home care for lasting results. “When you invest in professional treatments, you want your at-home routine to protect and prolong those results,” Amy says.
For those like me who crave effective skincare without irritation or downtime, Lenox and Sixteenth is a brand to watch.
