Overview
Dr. Dennis Gross began MD Skincare as a way to provide at-home treatments to women looking for a way to achieve the kind of facial cleansing and wrinkle reduction offered at luxury spas. He recently published a book called Your Future Face, which presents a four-step system to determine how your skin will age when exposed to certain aging accelerators and environmental factors. MD Skincare offers a full line of products, including its Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel, which claims to be an alternative to harsh chemical peels.
Featured Ingredients
The main idea behind MD Skincare is that - by helping shed the dry and wrinkle surface layers of skin - a specific treatment will then set the stage for those old cells to be replaced by fresh and healthy skin that looks smooth and wrinkle-free. Unfortunately, Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel only offers the first step. This product contains a high content of AHAs (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids) which have long been used to wipe away the surface layer of skin. Even the company claims that this formula also encourages the production of collagen - so that new healthy skin can replace the skin that has been removed - there is nothing in the formula that has a proven effect.
Not only does MD Skincare not contain known collagen boosters like Glucosamine Complex or Regenex, but AHAs themselves are becoming less used in the cosmetic field. Many women and men can develop serious reactions to AHAs. Newer, more gentle alternatives are available, making MD Skincare seem outdated.
Web Site Description
The MD Skincare web site - despite the shortcomings of some of its products - actually seems quite straight-forward and honest in its presentations. Full ingredient listings are posted, and consumers can purchase the products directly online. While we’d like to see more clinical research, the main concern is that MD Skincare does not offer a free trial of any of its products, which the AntiAging-Reviews.com researchers believe is essential in today’s world of thousands of cosmetic products being offered.
Positives
- Dr. Gross is a respected expert in the field
Negatives
- AHAs may cause many harsh reactions
- No collagen boosters in this particular formula
- No free trial offered
Conclusion
Even though AntiAging-Reviews.com has the utmost respect for Dr. Gross and his efforts to educate the public and make anti-wrinkle products available to everyone, the MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel just doesn’t deliver the way we’d like it to. Without known collagen boosters in the formula, this formula only performs the first step in facial rejuvenation.
