The History of Phormula 3

In the 1950s, Dr. Erno Laszlo created his original Phormula 3. It was a bespoke repair and rescue treatment, tailored to his client’s needs and formulated in small batches. Phormula 3 helped lay the foundation for Dr. Laszlo’s legacy of bringing medical skin wellness to the masses. 

Now, with nearly 100 years of innovation to our name, Erno Laszlo is pleased to launch Phormula 3-10, inspired by the science of Epigenetics. 

The Emerging Science of Epigenetics 

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression and activity. Chemical compounds and proteins that attach to our DNA can direct them to express or silence—turning them on or off. 

Epigenetics research examines how our behaviors and environment can cause these changes and affect the way our genes work. Without these proteins turned on, skin can experience signs of premature aging, including wrinkles and loss of firmness. 

Phormula 3-10 taps into the science of Epigenetics to help keep skin looking its best.
