Marya Khalil is the eldest daughter of the founder of VI Peel, Dr. Abdala Khalil. Marya has been a part of VI Peel from inception. Marya was the inspiration behind the product, the reason it was formulated, and the first patient to have used the VI Peel.
As a teenager, Marya struggled with cystic acne. It was only through her father, Dr. Khalil's revolutionary VI Peel formula that she found a safe, painless cure to treat her condition. Now Marya's mission is to help people of all skin types restore their confidence, so they can reach their true life potential.
Marya is the President & CEO of VI Peel for over 7 years. Under the leadership of CEO Marya Khalil, VI has grown to offer 5 medical grade VI Peel formulations customized for various skin conditions, and VI Derm Beauty, a full portfolio of clinical daily care products specifically formulated to reduce pigment and increase cell turnover. Marya recently won the award for Top CEO and the #1 Chemical Peel brand in 2019.
Marya graduated from NYU in 2008 with a degree in Cinema Studies and Communications, with a focus on Broadcast Journalism. Her dream was to make a difference in the world and to help improve people's lives. At age of 25, when she was appointed to CEO, she was able to make her dream come true.
Marya balances her life as a CEO and mother. When she thinks of her success she doesn't think about just the business. She believes it's a perfect mixture of business, family, parenthood, marriage and self-care. "Success is not an endpoint. It's about confidence, embracing your weaknesses, and being able to balance it all."
