Clientele has always acknowledged those luminaries whose beauty and accomplishments glow so brightly. Now the Clientele Magazine will shine the spotlight back on its CEO, Pat Riley, a visionary in the skincare and nutrition industry.

I came to know Pat through a dear friend of mine – a dedicated physician who has been researching ways to slow down the aging process for his entire medical career. Dr. Dayton is just one of the many brilliant minds in Pat’s arsenal of anti-aging research pioneers. For over 28 years, she has worked with physicians and scientists trying to understand what causes us to age and what we can do to look and feel young for as long as possible.

Pat is driven to work day and night. She is fascinated by scientific research and believes we are on the threshold of finding breakthroughs that will keep us youthful and healthy until we are well past 100 years of age.

“Nothing is more important than your health,” Pat preaches. You can’t look your best if you don't feel your best. This is Pat’s philosophy on beauty. Radiant skin begins from the inside out… with proper nutrition. Pat and her physicians originated Clientele Daily Nutrients to beautify skin, hair and nails from within – an industry first and AM/PM dosage of vitamins for improved absorption. As a Scientist, Pat’s background is Nutrition and Chemistry graduating Phi Kappa Phi with high honors from the University of Florida. It is this background and her collaboration with other brilliant scientists which has enabled her to lead the cosmetic industry with so many important breakthroughs.
 
HER QUEST FOR THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

On May 16, 2000, Patricia Riley was honored by JFK University, who named her a recipient of the Jacqueline Kennedy Award. Pat received the award for her outstanding contributions in the fields of Health, Anti-Aging and Longevity and for pioneering the use of antioxidants in skincare and vitamins in the early 1980’s. Pat’s team introduced the first oil-free moisturizer in 1975 and led the way with countless ingredients years before other companies (CoQ10, Soy Phytoestrogens, Grape Seed to name a few). Pat has been awarded several patents for her scientific discoveries in the field of nutrition and skincare, including compositions with the age defying Sacred Lotus and the LycoLift complex with Lycopene and Lutein.

QVC’s RISING STAR

Pat is evidence of the boundless energy and youthfulness her products offer. Recently nominated out of 6,000 vendors and awarded QVC’s “Rising Star” Award, Clientele is true to her mission of helping us live healthier and longer. Pat continues the quest for the Fountain of Youth that explorer Ponce De Leon first began in Florida long ago. -- Linzi Zucker
