Technology Meets Skincare
These unique combinations of ingredients provide maximum results with minimal irritation, so it's safe for all skin conditions and all skin types. Even the most sensitive skins can benefit from our proprietary Glycolic Compound.
Glycolic Acid vs. md formulations ® Glycolic Compound
Why is our formula better?
- Glycolic acid in its pure form has a very low pH and may cause redness and irritation.
- Our patented technology has a pH that matches your skin's pH, thanks to a combination of water, glycolic acid, and ammonium glycolate.
- This Glycolic Compound delivers the same benefits of glycolic acid without the irritating side effects-so it's safe for even the most sensitive skin.
the Sensitive Skin Complex
Even people with the most sensitive skin, including rosacea, can use our sensitive skin formula products.
Here's why:
- A higher pH of 4.4 is more compatible with sensitive skin.
- Our complex of carefully chosen ingredients, including chamomile, bisabolol, and licorice root, works to help keep redness and irritation away
