Originally published in the winter 2005 issue.  

   I used to be a model in Switzerland and continued to model when I came to Canada more than 40 years ago. I had the perfect body and face, which allowed me to work in both fashion and cosmetics. But I also had an absolute love for suntanning. I never missed an opportunity to head out in the sun and work on achieving the perfect tan. Unfortunately, over time, this habit caused a lot of sun damage to my skin, and I ended up with visible wrinkles and lines by the time I was 35. To top it off, my hair started to thin and become brittle.
   My sun-damaged skin and dry hair really began to bother me, so I started trying a variety of products to fix the problem. Over the years, I spent thousands of dollars on creams, serums, injectables, such as Botox, and dermal fillers, but I was never fully happy with the results. My skin still looked dry and wrinkled, and I always had bags under my eyes. Then, six months ago, my friend and doctor, Dr. Kevin Rod, suggested I try Vivi-S Formula Hair and Skin natural supplements, a line of products he created. He thought I would be a good candidate, because I had such extensive sun damage.
   I was attracted to the idea of a natural supplement that would help my health and also make my face look younger and my hair feel healthier. I was already taking an assortment of vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements every day, so I figured it would be worth trying a new type of supplement that would replace the others and, potentially, make me look and feel younger and healthier.

   I liked the idea that Vivi-S is a doctor-formulated treatment, and medical doctors were only an email away, if I had any any concerns or questions. It made me feel comfortable about taking the pills.
   Each day I took three pills – one of each colour – and drank a lot of water, which is key to the program. There were no side-effects to taking the pills, and within months I started to notice a significant improvement in my face and hair. When I look at old pictures of myself, I can’t believe the difference in my appearance. My eyes don’t have large bags underneath them, I have fewer wrinkles and lines, my face looks and feels more taut, my hair feels healthier and I’ve lost less hair just in the past three months. I also seem to have more energy and improved general health.
   It’s hard to believe that a product like this actually works, but it really does. My doctor recommends taking the supplement for a year for best results; longer to continue to prevent damage and maintain the results. I plan to take it as long as I continue to see results – I love what it’s done so far, and I couldn’t be happier.
Vivi-S costs $220 for a five-month supply. For more information on Vivi-S, go to
