Just what the world needs, another celebrity drink: (http://shaw.teenhollywood.com/d.asp?r=98331)
Pop siblings Hilary and Haylie Duff have signed up as unofficial spokesmodels for a new water product after discovering it's great for their skin.

Scott Vincent Borba launched his Borba Water at the Sundance Film Festival in January and many stars already use the nutrient-enhanced water, but the Duff sisters are using it religiously.

Hilary will drink Borba Water when she tours the U.S. this summer after discovering the liquid, which features moisturizing elements and a secret age-defying formula, has helped clear up her spotty skin.

Borba claims his "reverse-osmosis water" is so powerful that just two bottles equals the hydrating qualities for skin as eight bottles of normal spring water.
(My bold.)

just two bottles equals the hydrating qualities for skin? Does that make sense?

Couldn't find much on google except this: (http://beauty.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.sephora.com/browse/tt/index.jhtml%3FcategoryId=C10817%26tt=buzz)

Drink yourself young, radiant, and blemish-free - really. BORBA Skin Balance Waters are the newest breakthrough in skincare, beautifying our skin from the inside out. Each water (choose from Age Defying, Clarifying, and Replenishing) contains powerful antioxidants and other skin-renewing ingredients, which help to improve the overall health of the skin. Independent clinical studies have proven two waters daily can provide visible results in seven days. What's more, they're carb- and calorie-free.

Well of course it's carb and calorie free - it's water!

Otherwise, anyone know anything about this stuff?

I will use my prophetic powers to reveal that sometime in the near future Randi will write about Borba water as a scam. :D

Not to come across all woo but at least some of the BORBA products contain things other than water. I'm not saying that these other ingredients actually deliver the benefits they claim but their existence at least in the water at least make the claims possibly true.

So for example "Borba Skin Balance Water" allegedly contains a "Revolutionary Cultivated Bio-Vitamin complex "

On the woo scale IMO it's no worse than the claims of most beauty products

Borba Water? Didn't she used to be on 20/20?

I find this worrying.

I mean isn’t there a saying that one person's revolutionary is another person's terrorist? Should be people really supporting a product provided by "revolutionaries"?

"Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new case of Borba for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya."
