Magdalena Pytlos

Hi, my name is Magdalena and I form a part of the Centro Vital team. I’m 36 and I live in a sunny and busy Barcelona.

Ever since I remember I’ve had fairly problematic skin. Acne as a young adult, then visible expression marks, and now, on top of this, wrinkles (why, oh why!).

Add to it sensitive skin, being coeliac and all the problems become double because they’re just not that simple to treat.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with rosacea – sensitive skin, prone to redness and irritation + constantly growing insecurity because of it.

Over the years, I went on a strict diet and I’ve used quite a number of different beauty products. Some quite costly and some other less so; some of them worked for a little while, some others didn’t work at all.

This struggle has only led me to exploring the beauty sector more and understanding labels and ingredients behind each product.

My next step was buying natural products or even making them myself. Nature has a lot of goodness to offer but without proper scientific knowledge I still couldn’t fix my problem.

Then I came across Larens – a brand of cosmoceuticals that combine both nature and science; their products often are with eco certifications and have no parabens or toxic substances. Some of the products only last for up to 6 months or a year.

Not long after I started using their creams, serums and sprays, I began to notice that my skin was feeling healthier, calmer and less sensitive. The redness slowly diminished and all the marks and discolouration started becoming less visible.

The overall effect has just been incredible and somewhat “too good to be true”.

Ever since that moment I made it my mission to help people who struggle with the same or similar issues.

My absolute favourite is the DERMO line, HYDRO balance cream and biopeptide spray (be aware, all of the products are absolutely addictive).

I use all the products interchangeably and I feel my skin and I are genuinely a lot happier.

On top of it, I’m supplementing myself with Vitamin C and the Enzyme Complex and they all help me look after my body from the inside as well.
