MD Skin Repair Complex

The new cream from MD is specially formulated to encourage skin repair and rejuvenation. There is really not anything new or fancy in this pot of cream, however the basic ingredient of Vitamin C, E and Q10 still do the trick.



Vitamin C is well known for it's rejuvenating effect on the skin. Vitamin C helps in the production of collagen, the building block of the skin.
Vitamin E is promoting healthy skin while Q10, a powerful antioxidant, protects the skin from oxidative damage. See Anti Aging Cosmetic Product Ingredients for more information.

The MD Skin Repair Complex is ideal for sun damaged skin or skin that has in general aged. It also can be used after skin resurfacing treatments such as microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or a chemical peel. These treatments work on the basis of controlled damage to the skin, taking away the top layers of skin away to encourage new cell growth. A cream like MD Skin Repair Complex is helping to speed up the cell renewal process by stimulating healthy cell growth.

In theory, this cream seems like your perfect partner for anti aging. However, Vitamin C is a very unstable ingredient in skin care, as it tends to break down very easy and oxidizes on air. Once oxidized it is useless. The fact that the cream comes in a pot makes me wonder about the stability of the vitamin c. Many good Vitamin C products come in an airtight container.

The effectiveness of Vitamin E has been questioned recently, however I think that is has an balancing and calming effect on the skin.

Overall, I think the cream is o.k. There is nothing new about this cream, maybe only the advertising! An with a price tag of $100 I find it quite expensive.
