Thanks to the new crop of television makeover shows, it seems a topical skin-care regimen is no longer enough. And so Scott Vincent Borba’s "drinkable" skin care joins the beauty-and-wellness line-up. Claiming to have discovered and bottled the Fountain of Youth, Borba has released three varieties of his dermatologist-tested Skin Balance water: Replenishing, Clarifying, and Age-Defying. Each is made with the essence of a different fruit: lychee, pomegranate, and grape-seed acai, respectively. All three have the same basic color, and taste like spring water infused with a bit of exotic-fruit juice. And they’re aspartame-free. So they’re good for drinking, but are they an effective skin-care regimen? You — and your face — can be the judge.

Available for $2.50 a bottle at Sephora, various locations, or online at www.sephora.com.
