“Best of Beauty 2007 “More Magazine selected a panel of 15 top dermatologists, hairdressers and makeup artists to evaluate the newest skin, makeup and hair boosters at their beauty summit in New York City. OLay Definity Illuminating Cream Cleanser  “Breaks the bonds between dead surface cells with glucosamine, a mild exfoliant, so makeup goes on easily.  Even sensitive skin with rosacea tolerates it well.” - Dr. Callender Aveeno Positively Ageless Rejuvenating Serum “A long-term cell renewal solution for those who can’t tolerate retinoids or AHAs.  Shitake extract evens skin tone and fine lines, and it won’t promote hypersensitivity.  This light serum can be layered under moisturizer or sunscreen. -Callender Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Anti-Aging Serum with Coenzyme Q10 “True to its name, this sensitive skin tamer calms with licorice-root extract; its subtle green tint neutralizes pink tones, even rosacea.” -Callender

Dr. Callender featured article “The Black Woman’s Guide to Hair Loss” in Essence Magazine August 2007.
