Dr. P. Alexander Ataii, MD

"I formulated this for the patients we see every day with reactive, easily irritated skin. Niacinamide, aloe, shea, and zinc work together to calm redness, clarify, and brighten, gently enough for daily use."
What's Inside
Product Details
A lightweight, soothing daily lotion formulated by Dr. P. Alexander Ataii based on 20+ years of treating reactive, redness-prone, and easily irritated skin at Laser Clinique San Diego.
Dr. P. Alexander Ataii built Ataii Aesthetic MD on a single premise: the same clinical-grade formulas that deliver results in his San Diego med spa should be accessible to everyone: not just those who can afford in-clinic treatments.
His father was a pioneering pharmacist and chemist who developed regenerative skincare formulas in the 1960s, work that earned international recognition and helped a Hollywood actress restore her complexion. Dr. Ataii refined and modernized that legacy through two decades of clinical practice.
This Soothing Moisturizer is the calming lotion Dr. Ataii reaches for at Laser Clinique San Diego for patients with reactive, redness-prone, and easily irritated skin, a gentle daily formula his patients take home to clarify, brighten, and keep their complexion calm and comfortable.
