Marcus and Mirjam Asam

Guten Tag!

Hello, we are glad that you are here. We are very excited to bring you our very first blog. We want to tell you more about luxury cosmetic brand M. Asam, our beauty secrets and ourselves.

We have been producing fine cosmetics for nearly 50 years in Germany. In 2000 we created our luxury cosmetic brand M. Asam that is based on the natural beauty secrets of grapes. Today we are one of the most successful cosmetic brands sold on TV throughout Europe and are currently building our success story at HSN.

GrapesWhy grapes?
Grapes provide precious and powerful beauty ingredients for cosmetics. Our main Research & Development concentrates on the anti-aging qualities of grapes in cosmetic formulations. In 1983 we founded the first factory for researching and processing grapes with our own vineyards in the German Wine Route. We manufacture our precious grape ingredients including the antioxidant OPC, Resveratrol and grape seed oil. M. Asam uses these precious grape ingredients combined with other natural and innovative ingredients to provide you unique cosmetic formulations that counteract the signs of aging.

Our entire Classic Line and VINOLIFT Line are based on these grape ingredients. Classic Line is perfect for all skin types and ages. VINOLIFT® is based on these grape ingredients especially developed for mature skin with an effective delivery system.

We would like to tell you more about our grape ingredients because they are what make M. Asam E X T R A O R D I N A R Y !

Vinolift Assortment

Grape seedsGrape Seed Extract OPC
A natural strong antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals, a major source of premature skin aging.

M. Asam’s isolated grapes seed extract is proven to be six times stronger than the antioxidant vitamin C and 18 times more effective than vitamin E. It can counteract the visible signs of premature skin aging. OPC is probably the strongest natural antioxidant known.

It takes 11,000 pounds of grapes to produce only one pound of OPC!!

Grape Seel Oil from BordeauxResveratrol
A natural grapevine shoot extract with exceptional clinically proven anti-wrinkle properties. Our Resveratrol comes from the plant species Vitis Vinifera that are exclusively cultivated from the vines of the area Bordeaux. The vine shoots are collected from January to March, dried for several months, crushed and extracted.

Cold Pressed Grape Seed Oil
A precious oil packed with beauty benefits. Also called "Green Gold ", it contains over 70% Linoleic Acid, Vitamin E and Lecithin. It quickly absorbs into the skin and helps retain moisture, leaving the skin feeling supple and smooth. Produced in our own family factory and vineyards, the important ingredients remain through gentle cold-pressing.

Cold-pressing grape seed oil is a time consuming process. It takes two hours and 100 lbs. of grape seeds to manufacture 1 quart of cold pressed grape seed oil.

Well that’s it from us for now. We hope you enjoyed our very first blog. Please stay tuned for our next blog coming up next month. If there is something you are interested in, please let us know. We appreciate your input!

Thanks and see you soon!
Mirjam and Marcus

Dear Friends: I lived in Germany over 40 years ago and loved using their skincare products. So I bought your Green/Gold line and have been delighted. I am able to layer the products and here in the High Desert of California they keep my skin hydrated and looking great. At 69, I really don't look my age!! Thanks for the consistent quality, the great attention to good ingredients, and affordable prices.

I have been using your Vinolift Anti Age Skin Tightening Cream for about a month now and I can't believe how well it works on my number 11's. I am a botox lady so when I went for my botox the doctor said you really don't need any for the number ll's or around your eyes. What are you using your skin looks great!! So no more botox for me. I love the Vinolift line.

Hi M&M! I cant say how impressed I am with your products. I started with the Vinolift Neck and Dec Crm & the Anti Wrinkle Concentrate, I hadn't realized just how thirsty my face has become now with age (48) 'til I purchased your 4pc Aquaintense Radiant Set on your last visit and my skin has never felt this good ever. Nice and plump, yes radiant & just all around balanced. I also purchased your Vinolift Peel Off mask, your Magic Finish, & the Hylaron Body Crm. I am loving them all. Thanks So Much

hi mirjam and marcus, i am a german girl too, my mom was born in germany and i have been there many times... i am interested in using your products, i ordered the day/night cream and it seemed to roll off in little balls on my skin! i want to try your cream mask, can oily/acne prone skin use it? i break out from parabens, i am allergic to parabens, mineral oil, etc... do you think this will be good for me? i love the idea of a lime scented product, sounds like it would be so fresh and clean!

Mirjam and Marcus - I can't tell you how much I LOVE your products. They smell heavenly, they work beautifully and the value can't be beat. It is very hard in this day and age to get real value for your hard earned dollars and you have delivered FABULOUS products at a FABULOUS price. They do exactly what they say and for that I say thank you, thank you. I will be 50 on my next birthday and I really don't think anyone will know. Danke Sehr

Hello! I visited your beautiful country last September and would love to return one day. I've used several of your Classic products, they work, they smell divine, and they are are a tremendous value compared to other lines. My only suggestion is regarding the tinted day creme in the tube~it covers beautifully, moisturizes well. But it has a weirdly unpleasant odor. Would much prefer the Classic lime scent, or even unscented. Thank you for continuing to bring us your wonderful products!

Hello Mirjam and Marcus! I started using your products last summer. They are amazing! I started with the green/gold line and am now using the vino-lift line and the aqua intense line. The Perfect Teint is simply amazing. I cannot believe how flawless my skin looks when I use it. Its part of my daily routine. My friends are always commenting on how great my skin looks and they are now using your products. The cleanser with the jojoba pearls is amazing!

Mirjam and Marcus, I love your products! I noticed feedback from some customers who question your use of parabens (and the amount used) in your products, and that they have been linked to breast cancer. Would you please address this issue? I appeciate your comments on this subject before I purchase any more of your wonderful products. Thank you!!! Sincerely,

Guten Tag! Mirjam & Marcus. I too am a firm believer & loyal to your products! They WORK! I just thought that I used the best on the market from Europe whithout calling a name, but it does not deliever like M Asam does. I was a loyal user of their product because of skin issues but with your line I have none. I use the Vinolift line and it does what it says it will do. I like them as they are. I now have my Mom and sister-in-law turned on to M Asam! Please don't leave us & bring more kits.

Would somone please make something for skin discolorations/dark patches... (melasma)I am 52 and about five years ago I started noticing some dark patches on my face. I keep waiting for someone to create a product that address that problem. I hardly have any wrinkles. I think if a lab can come up with a product for this condition a lot of women will buy it right away. I AM WAITING!!!

I just received a big box of your products,the vinolift kit,vinolift toner and the Magic Finish. When I opened the Magic Finish I thought too dark. Blended it in and it is the most perfect make-up I have ever used!! I'm off to order another because I don't think they'll last once the word gets out. All your products are wonderful, I use all 3 lines and love them all!!

I love your Vinolift skincare products and continue to add new products each time I order. However, is it possible to add some sunscreen to your daily skin tightening cream or skin serum? The addition of SPF would be wonderful and would eliminate another product needed to protect my mature skin. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing your response during your next on air visit to the US.

This suggestion is for DEBS in NY who wonders what product to use for #11 lines between brows. If you are using M. Asam products religiously, you will begin to notice the lines fading. May I suggest adding the Skin Tightening Mask to your routine if not using it already. Leave it on the entire night. I guarantee you fantastic results as my #11 lines are almost invisible! Good Luck girlfriend & best wishes for your mother!

I thank God for your line of skin care. I had major breast cancer surgery in April, 2007, resulting in 16 months of chemo therapy. Last year, I searched for a product that would keep my skin soft and healthy, free from drying out and aging due to all the stress. I am glad to report your products have proven to keep my skin healthy and youthful. Thank you!

I have developed the # 11 lines between my eyebrows for odvious reasons, and wonder what product to use.Please help!

Guten Tag Mirjam & Marcus! I began using your products last yr. after seeing you on HSN. I have spent a fortune in search of a skincare line that would address my 4o something skin issues. Your products are the Absolute Best Quality & indeed deliver results! Friends & people I don't know comment on how healthy & glowing my skin is. My response, M. Asam of course! I thank you from the bottom of my heart & will always be a loyal customer! Would love to see more kits offered.
