I don't believe so.  The Kodak Royal Gold line of films replaced them,
with combined technologies of the Ektar and gold films.  I think the 25
has been discontinued.

My preference for skin tones is Fuji NPS, rated at 100.  Wonderful film,
great latitude and almost grainless.  I've tried Kodak's Portra 160
films and they aren't bad either.  The VC is extra saturated for that
rich look, but a little contrasty for my taste.  I seldom use consumer
films for portraits, like Gold, Superia, etc.  Too much contrast.

Kodak's Royal paper in glossy has a great look to it.

Try the Kodak Portra 160 VC
