Product Analysis

MDSUN CLARIFYING SERUM 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,… For more on the ingredients, read on!

Key Ingredients

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.

NICOTINIC ACID

Studies have not been conducted comparing the efficacy of niacinamide to salicylic 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, the use of niacinamide may be preferable over clindamycin and other antibacterial agents in the long term because the bacteria tend 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.

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.

Panthenol

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 skincare products. While there isn’t a lot of evidence for the use of panthenol in homeopathic evidence, there’s more for what it does in skincare products.

It coats skin and hair as a humectant moisturizer — which means that it draws in
moisture from the environment. But because these moisturizers can also pull moisture from the lower levels of the 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. In a study on 30-60 years old women, a combination of panthenol and niacinamide improved signs of aging, such as hyperpigmentation and redness.

What is Panthenol?

Sometimes you take a look at the list of ingredients in your skin care and hair products and wonder just what is that? Is that a real word? What does it mean? Is it a foreign language?

Panthenol, also known as pantothenol, sounds like the name of a galaxy. But you’ll see it listed on countless products from skincare and hair care to pharmaceuticals.

I wasn’t born with perfect skin. I have had acne skin since teenage and still have a pimple here and there occasionally. I got a retail size (30ml) and after using the serum for a couple of weeks, I surprisingly noticed that a strange skin condition that I had had for about 2 years was gone. So there was one area of darker acne scars are noticeably lighter. It also helps to keep my skin under control (I’m a perfect sample of combination skin). I would say this product is perfect for moisturizing in the dry weather and to lighten my dark spots.

I purchased this product a month ago and have been using it day and night. I have definitely noticed an improvement in the dark spots that were left by acne. I will repurchase another bottle and will continue using it.

Was skeptical at first, but even just after a week of using it, you can really feel the differences. Have had redness and allergies on my skin for years, and it actually soothes them and smells good too.
Will recommend!

My wife definitely loves this serum along with the Collagen lift. They are dramatically working on her skin after three weeks of applying and I could see the difference. Her daily routine are included the Cleanser ,Toners and the Sun screen. She has confidence of applying MD Sun products on her skin without any of skin issues. Highly recommended….::
