"You look so YOUNG!"
That's something we all want to hear every now and again, don't we? I remember as a young mom, I always disliked people thinking I was the big sister or a teen mom... but now that I'm 30, going on 31, I must admit I don't hate it when people come to my door and ask me if my parents are home.
Yes, we all want to look great for our age.
But we don't want to be thought of as younger because of our acne! Acne is an issue that is most commonly associated with teenagers, but unfortunately it's an issue that follows many of us throughout adulthood. Annoying! I'll take that 'eat a whole pizza and doesn't gain a pound' metabolism or the 'stay up all night, wake up early with energy' from my teen days, but the acne can just stay behind!
While I am lucky that I don't have severe acne, I do get the occasional spots on my cheek, chin and forehead that drive me absolutely crazy. I have tried many solutions and found that while they may take care of the breakouts, they instead leave me with dry, flaky skin. Already having dry skin, that's a bad combination!!
MD Complete is looking to change that with a broader approach to skincare treatments for acne--- one that is less irritating, reduced the appearance of acne marks left behind and helps to restore an overall even and healthy looking complexion.
So, what makes it better than other RX acne remedies? Take a look:
- Mimics the combination therapies by combining high potency Retinol with Benzoyl Peroxide
- Macro-encapsulates ingredients to be more effectively and gently absorbed into the skin
- Nourishes with Vitamin C, B & E to reduce the appearance of marks and restore a beautiful, healthy-looking complexion
That all sounds great, of course... but does it actually work? I was recently sent their Acne Clearing System to try out for myself. Let's break it down by product:
Step 2: Acne Breakout Treatment. While the cleanser is used all over, this treatment is applied just to the problem areas. For me at the time of trying this out, that was beside my mouth on my lower cheek and on the left side of my face above my chin. This area also happens to be where I experience the most dryness, to where sometimes even my moisturizers can cause some irritation. I was more than a little apprehensive to try a spot treatment on it for this reason. After all, we all know how drying typical Benzoyl Peroxide remedies can be. But the claim was that the innovative formula actually hydrates AND helps clear the acne simultaneously so I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised that it really did do both! No irritation, no flaking, no itchiness. It doesn't just clear the breakout, it actually repairs the skin.
Step 3: Citrus-C Healthy Complexion. This correcting serum infused with Retinol and Vitamin C is designed to help diminish the dark marks that acne can leave behind and refine overall skin texture. It also moisturizes and leaves the skin with a clean-feeling, matte finish. Now, I don't personally usually have too many issues with these dark marks, BUT I can say that my skin DID feel better after using and while I'm not sure it would be noticeable to most, I did feel that my complexion looked generally more even throughout.
Step 4: Healthy Skin Probiotic. We know that probiotics are essential for many aspects of our health, and our skin is just another one of those aspects. This probiotic is exclusive to MDComplete.com, and perhaps my favorite part of this whole system, because it attacks acne from the inside out for a more complete treatment. It addresses the effects of stress on gut health that can trigger inflammation throughout the body to include skin. It contains a Prebiotic and Vitamin B (Niacin) to restore the balance of good bacteria, leaving us with healthier looking skin! I will say that I WAS a little apprehensive about taking it because you have to drink it and I don't tend to do well with any powder type of supplement, but it's a very tiny amount and pretty easy to swallow...so to speak. I liked to have a tall glass of water or orange juice to chase it down with still though.
This is a 60-Day system so the longer you use it, the better results you will see, but I can honestly say at just about a week and a half, I'm already seeing some results. My little problem areas are clearing up nicely and skin in general just FEELS better. I would say for me personally, I could feel it before I could see it. I'm going to be completely honest too... I STINK at keeping to a proper skincare routine and have been known to miss a day or two, so I know that if I'm still seeing great results now, the results would be even greater if used daily like intended!
