Who We Are:

The Vitality Institute core mission is to help people of all skin types restore their confidence so they can reach their true potential.  At the center of the globally recognized Vitality Institute is Marya Khalil, company CEO.  As a teenager, Marya struggled with severe cystic acne. Fortunately, her father Dr. Abdala Khalil possessed the medical knowledge required to help her.
