Oily, Combination, Pigmentation & Acne Skin

Clarifying Serum is the latest breakthrough in skincare treatments because it effectively and gently solves multiple complex problems, including blemishes, dark spots, oily, dehydrated and dull skin – all at once. The high concentration of potassium azeloyl diglycinate not only fades dark spots and brightens dull areas, but it also eliminates blemish formations. Exfoliating agents, mandelic acid and capryloyl salicyclic acid, penetrate deeply into pores to accelerate exfoliation, balance oil production and stimulate cell renewal. With high potency hyaluronic acid and effective antioxidants, including nicotinamide (vitamin B3) and pro-vitamin B5, the skin is protected against collagen loss, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and new formations of fine lines and wrinkles. This product also contains botanical ingredients proven to calm the skin and prevent redness and irritations.

Benefits:

• Contains high concentrations of potassium azeloyl diglycinate, mandelic acid, hyaluronic acid, and many prominent natural antioxidants – all of them help to bring the skin to its optimal stage with long term use
• Delivers powerful results through liposome technology to ensure ingredients are brought down into the deepest layers of the skin
• Does not contain oil, preservative, color additives and paraben

Application:

Apply directly on the target area or smooth two drops over the entire face. Follow with the appropriate MDSUN products. For daytime protection, apply MDSUN broad-spectrum SPF product.

HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST HYPERPIGMENTATION AND WHERE TO FIND PRODUCTS THAT WORK FOR THIS

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin is overproduced in certain areas of the skin. This results in flat, darkened patches of skin that are light brown to black in color, and can vary in size and shape.

Spotlight on Niacinamide

Niacinamide does it all: reduces fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotches, skin sallowness, and increases elasticity. But what is it exactly, and how should you be using it? Read on for more information!

Some Acids Are Helpful for the Skin

Acid is something that might seem like it could only do harm to anything it touches. This is not the case though. While there are acids that cause harm if they contact your skin, there are also several that provide helpful benefits when used as part of your skincare routine.

Professional Review

MDSUN Clarifying Serum is like the Rolls-Royce of serums for people with oily skin: They’ve thought of everything, it covers all of the bases and then some, but the only reservation someone may have is that it’s pricey ($150 per bottle). That said, MDSUN Clarifying Serum is one of the few serums out there that covers all of the issues for oily and acne-prone skin, as it has oil-reducing and pore-refining ingredients, plus hyperpigmentation fighters. It’s pretty fantastic, and if you can afford it, there’s absolutely no reason not to try this. For more on the ingredients, read on!

Mandelic acid

One of the main ingredients in MDSUN Clarifying Serum, mandelic acid, is an alpha hydroxy acid derived from almonds. When applied to the skin in concentrations as high as in this serum, mandelic acid has been shown to be a potent antioxidant in the skin (Tetrahedron).

A review in Clinics in Dermatology further found that mandelic acid takes down skin roughness and fine lines.

Capryloyl salicylic acid

According to DermNetNZ, capryloyl salicylic acid works by softening keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure. This helps to loosen dry scaly skin, increasing cell turnover and effectively renewing the skin. It is often used in acne treatments to cleanse and to prevent clogging of the pores.

When capryloyl salicylic acid is used in combination with other treatments, it is often to allow the other formulation’s ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively.

Nicotinic acid

Studies have not been conducted comparing the efficacy of niacinamide to salicyclic acid or benzoyl peroxide, two commonly prescribed acne treatments.

However, in comparison to 1% clindamycin gel, Shalita et. al. has shown that niacinamide yields similar results. In addition, use of niacinamide may be preferable over clindamycin and other antibacterial agents in the long term because the bacteria tends to re-emerge after a period of antibacterial agent use (Shalita et. al.).

This product uses a different form of vitamin B3. Instead of using niacinamide, the basic form of vitamin B3, this formula uses nicotinic acid, the acidic form of vitamin B3, which is also known niacin. It’s still fantastic and has many of the same skin-refining properties as niacinamide, but also includes some exfoliating properties as well.

Vitamin B5

Panthenol is an alcohol made out of pathenolic acid, or vitamin B5. It’s used for everything from sleep deprivation to dandruff, and is found in numerous shampoos and skin care products (MedlinePlus). While there isn’t a lot of evidence for the use of panthenol in homeopathic evidence, there’s more for what it does in skin care products.

[Read More: Why Alcohol in Skin Care is Safe]It coats skin and hair as a humectant moisturizer — which means that it draws in moisture from the environment (International Journal of Cosmetic Science). But because these moisturizers can also pull moisture from the lower levels of skin, it’s beneficial to use them in combination with an occlusive moisturizer.

Several studies done on mice show that panthenolic acid increases the production of cell fibroblasts. It’s effective in aiding wound healing and for this reason has been shown to work well in anti-aging products (Drug & Cosmetic Industry). In a study on 30-60 year old women, a combination of panthenol and niacinamide improved signs of aging, such as hyperpigmentation and redness (Indian Journal of Dermatology).

Bottom line

MDSUN Clarifying Serum is a must-have serum for anyone with oily skin, acne, and mild to moderate sunspots. It’s fantastic because it will take down oil production without drying out your skin — and provides amazing anti-aging action to boot. A must have!
