Marianna is our product sage, whose impressive experience and journey in skin care as a master aesthetician, has taken her across the globe from London’s posh Mayfair district, to Toronto, Houston, Southern California, and Colorado.
Marianna’s unrivaled skills and finesse, in the art and science of skin care, is our hallmark and foundation of our advanced skin care product line, designed to give you professional skin care for your daily home skin care routine.
Marianna was born and raised on the island of Crete in Greece where, at a young age, she began learning the natural skin care and healing modalities of her homeland from the women in her family and her community. In her early twenties, she left for
London to start her journey to becoming a master esthetician. In London, Marianna honed her skills in the famous Mayfair district, where she catered to the city’s most discerning clientele. She continued her education and development in France throughout the time she was living in London, giving her a more expansive knowledge and expertise in the methods being practiced across Europe during that time.
Marianna eventually moved her family from London to the growing and bustling city of Toronto, where her passion and skills learned in her earlier years, took on a new energy, opening her own spa and introducing the non-surgical lifting technology to Canada. Her successful practice in Toronto gave Marianna the opportunity to tackle new challenges, such as how to train her aestheticians to uphold her high standards using new technologies, and treating clients in varied climates. Toronto is also where Marianna began teaching aestheticians in advanced aesthetics, which she has continued to do so across North America for many years.
Life changes for us all, and Marianna found herself in a new locale – Houston, Texas, where she introduced the concept of Day Spa to the United States. Her unrivaled 11,000 square foot spa landed on the cover of American Salon magazine, and was honored as American Salon of the Year. After a successful period in Houston, Marianna made her way to the beautiful shores of Laguna Niguel in southern California where she practiced her art until moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1993 to be with her children. In 1995 Marianna opened her doors for business in Boulder, where she carried on her art of providing high-level advanced skin care to the local community.
It was at this juncture in her career where and when, Marianna decided to tackle the one issue that she had not yet – to deliver to her clientele, advanced professional-grade skin care products for home care usage at affordable prices. Marianna’s vast knowledge of skin care product ingredients developed over her lifetime poured into our new skin care line. The products were an instant hit with clientele, whose praises and commentary typically referenced never having had the like in their past. In little time, we found ourselves sending products across the nation to passers-through whom, once exposed to our products, were simply no longer going to settle for anything less. To this very day, Marianna never stops learning, always staying abreast of the latest in skin care science and technology, and continues to reformulate and improve our product line, so that our clients have the best of the best for their daily skin care regimen.
Meet Sasha
BUSINESS MANAGER
Sasha’s business background was an ideal compliment to add to Marianna’s art and skill in skin care. Being raised by Marianna, and having spent many years now working with her, Sasha too has developed a substantial knowledge of high quality skin care, and actively assists Marianna in the ongoing effort to make our skin care products the very best of the best.
Sasha began working with his mother when he designed and oversaw the construction of Marianna’s spa in 2005, which he then stayed on to manage. Raised in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario, Sasha came to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. He later returned to C.U. for his Masters in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance.
Sasha’s diverse professional background in business, finance, development, and small business management have been welcomed as our business continues to grow. Together Sasha and his mother make a formidable, warm, and welcoming pair, running the skin care product line as an extension of themselves and of the family.
I have been a faithful client of PanDerma for over 10 years and couldn’t be happier with the results – mainly because I still look the same as I did 10 years ago !! Only wish I had started using their products sooner!! Highly recommend.

These products [AD. – Age Defiance] are the real deal.

“Marianna’s Age Defiance [Cleanser] is the only cleanser I can use on my extremely sensitive skin. During the 10 years I’ve had rosacea, I’ve tried so many products that were recommended, but always irritated my skin…except this one!”
Erica
Thank you, thank you! Your line of AD [Age Defiance] products are the best I have ever used.
Love, Erica

“I have loved the PS. [Purify Solutions] line at Marianna’s! Because of the salicylic acid solution, I no longer have to buy several prescription creams!”
Jan C.
My skin is complimented on more than ever in my life. The products have changed my skin. I have developed new lifelong habits of how I take care of my skin. My whole family loves the products. My kids who are in their 20’s are deeply committed to them as well. They in fact will use them for life.
Teresa P.

Marianna’s experience is evident in her core of knowledge of the skin. Her line of [skin care] products are the only products I will ever use on my skin. Thank you Marianna!
Kim G.
I have tried so many different facial products over the years and nothing [made] a difference – my skin remain[ed] the same. [My] new products from Marianna’s are making an actual difference for the first time! My skin feels more hydrated, smoother, and less congested.
Holly P.
Great products.
Madison M
I love Marianna. She is the best skin care professional. 10 out of 10. I recommend…
Lindsey S.
The Cucumber – Chamomile Gentle Face Cleanser is my favorite ever! [It} also works very well as a makeup remover.
Portia S.
People often ask me what I use on my skin so I thought I’d share in case anyone is looking to change their products. I use a few different lines but this is the line I use and love the most. It keeps my skin in check and I’d probably mourn the loss if I couldn’t purchase it anymore…
