In this powerful episode of Well Rooted, we sit down with Marya Khalil-Otto, CEO of VI Peel—the first-of-its-kind, painless chemical peel designed for all skin tones. Originally created by her father, Dr. Khalil, to help treat Marya’s acne, VI Peel has grown into one of the most trusted brands in the aesthetics industry.
Marya opens up about stepping into leadership after her father’s passing, moving cross-country to LA, and going back to school to become a licensed aesthetician—all to deepen her connection to the brand and its community. We also dive into:
The science and truth behind acne and skin health
The evolution of the aesthetics industry and VI Peel’s inclusive mission
How sobriety transformed her life and leadership
What it really takes to juggle motherhood, personal wellness, and running a thriving company
This is an episode about legacy, healing from the inside out, and choosing growth—personally and professionally.
