If you’re looking for an anti-aging skin line that has excellent ingredients, is dermatologist developed and tested and that gives real results, let me introduce you to M.D. Complete skin care. I am honored to have partnered with them for this post. I received these products for free for testing purposes. All of the opinions are my own and 100% honest.
Okay real talk. I used to have acne as a teen and so that left my face with some scarring along my forehead and my cheeks. I also had chickenpox as a child so that left some marks as well. As I get more mature I realize that my skin texture is something that I have been working on for years. But let’s face it, over-the-counter skin care regimens really do not work. I have tried them all. Likewise some of those dermatologist offered skincare brands are really expensive. And I don’t want try laser or cosmetic surgery at this time.
Enter MD Complete Skincare, developed by Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Brian Zelickson, M.D.. This line, which harnesses the power of vitamins and fruit seed extracts like Cranberry, Pumpkin, Tomato, Raspberry, and Nigella Sativa was created to provide access to dermatologist-level results in the appearance of skin tone & texture without a prescription. MD Complete transforms gold standard dermatologist prescribed skincare protocols into simple, effective and complete regimens at a fraction of the cost of prescription regimen counterparts. They are paraben free and never tested on animals.
Why do I love this brand?
• Purer, more effective ingredients
• At higher, more effective levels
• That are more active when they reach the skin
• Concentrated – just pea size is all you use
• Multitasking – new ingredient combinations previously not possible
• Simple – Derm results in just two steps AM/PM
• Lasting results
• Noticeable results, even at a distance
• Results that continue to improve over time
Watch as I introduce these products:
The skin around your eyes is the thinnest in your whole body so that will betray your age first. So you really needs to focus on the area around your eyes if you’re concerned about aging gracefully and looking your best. For this area I use the Eye Wrinkle Corrector.
Eye Wrinkle Corrector
This is a hydrating eye cream treatment that reduces the appearance of crow’s feet & wrinkles, firms the skin around the eyes, and brightens skin tone for brighter, more youthful-looking eyes. I found it very easy to use. just a pea-sized amount every morning and evening around the eye socket bones improved the appearance of ethe skin around my eyes. My skin was not irritated. It absorbed quite nicely into my skin without feeling greasy. If I wanted to wear sunscreen, makeup or powder over it, it did not cake up or look weird under my other products.
Directions
Use in AM and PM after cleansing. Using ring finger, gently pat a pea-sized amount of product under eyes and on crow’s feet area. Avoid using on eyelids.
Tips
• Can be used around the mouth to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Rub any extra product onto your cuticles to nourish and improve their appearance.
• Give the product time to work. Results improve over time.
Key Ingredients
• A potent mix of Peptides help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth texture
• Vitamin C improves the appearance of fine lines, skin tone and radiance. MD Complete uses the more effective and more expensive variants of Vitamin C for better penetration and better results.
• A highly concentrated combination of Ceramides & Essential Fatty Acids strengthen the skin barrier and stimulate collagen production
• Fruit Seed Extracts (Cranberry, Raspberry, Borago, Nigella Sativa) provide nutritious oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids along with nourishing plant sterols that support healthier looking skin. Vitamin E nourishes skin and works synergistically with Vitamin C for a more refined tone and texture. Vitamins A & B nourish skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Hyaluronic Acid plumps and firms skin
Not recommended for women who are breast-feeding
Next, I used the
Retinol Vitamin C Concentrate
This concentrated serum works with any skincare regimen to boost results. It’s an easy add-on to your current skincare routine. Just massage 2-4 drops into your skin before applying skincare treatment products. It absorbs very well onto my skin without being irritating or greasy. It did not clog my pores or cake up under makeup or powder. The results keep getting better and better every time I use it, and those acne scars on my forehead are actually looking smaller each week.
- Unlike other serums this product is pure concentrate — it’s not diluted with water (which is often the first ingredient in other products).
- Provides dermatologist levels of Retinol, as much as 5-10 times higher than other products.
- Ideally suited for derma rolling, with naturally derived essential acids, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C.
- Improves radiance & brightens complexion
- Evens skin tone and refines skin texture
- Also great for nourishing hair, scalp, nails and cuticles.
Directions
• Apply after cleansing and before your treatment products
• Take an extra minute to massage the concentrate deeply into your skin
Key Ingredients
• Pure Retinol (Vitamin A) and Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) help improve skin tone and radiance
• Vitamin E (Fruit Seed Extracts, Tocotrienols) nourishes skin and works synergistically with Vitamin C
• Fruit Seed Extracts (Cranberry, Pumpkin, Tomato, Raspberry, Nigella Sativa) provide nutritious oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids along with a variety of skin nourishing plant sterols that support healthier looking skin. These extracts also provide a valuable source of carotenoids – the pigmented nutrients in fruits & vegetables that are linked with improving radiance.
Not recommended for women who are breast-feeding
Next is the
Wrinkle & Radiance Remedy
This is a core treatment for any anti-aging skincare routine. It tackles fine lines and wrinkles as well as dullness and dry skin. Made with highly concentrated ingredients, Wrinkle & Radiance Remedy is proven to reveal more vibrant, youthful-looking skin. I noticed that when I used it, I had to start by using it every other day for 2 weeks then I moved to every day for a couple weeks, then twice a day. I have combination skin. The more I used it, the smoother my skin got! People were noticing! I was going to work with no makeup on, and I felt great and people actually complemented my bare skin! I never thought I would have the confidence to go bare-faced in public. Even in my teen years, I would never leave the house without some kind of concealer or makeup, and I always had a mirror on me, so I could take a peek for touch-ups, etc. I am happy to say I have been mirror-free for several years now, and my skin feels & looks better than ever.
How It’s Different
- Uniquely hydrating and high potency Retinol and Vitamin C treatment
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firms skin. In clinical studies, it was proven as effective in improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and radiance as the leading prescription skincare regimen as well as in-office laser treatments performed by dermatologists, at 1/3 and 1/10 the cost.*
- Smoothes & evens skin tone and texture for a younger-looking complexion
- You’ll notice improvements in 5-7 days, with results that continue to improve over time
- The ingredient delivery system accelerates and improves results
Directions
After cleansing and applying eye cream, gently apply 1-2 pumps to cover entire face including outer crow’s feet area. Avoid using under eyes, on eyelids or lips.
Tips
• Increase use over time. Start using the product every other day. Increase to daily use in week two. Increase to twice-daily usage in week three. Don’t use too much product — it is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. Your skin may feel a little warm or tight, like it has been in the sun. This is natural and an indication that the product is working!
• Typically, you’ll notice improvements within 5 days. However, the biggest improvements typically occur in the third week of use. And, these results will continue to improve over time with routine use. Stick with it. The most dramatic results occur after three months.
• Always be sure to wear sun protection when using a Retinol product
Key Ingredients
• Pure Retinol up to 10X the retinol levels of traditional drug and department store products, and supplemented with nutrients that enhance the performance of the retinol for better results
• Peptides help reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothes texture
• Vitamin C improves the appearance of fine lines, skin tone and radiance. MD Complete uses the more effective and more expensive variants of Vitamin C for better penetration and better results.
• Fruit Seed Extracts (Cranberry, Raspberry, Borago, Black Cumin) provide oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids along with a variety of skin nourishing plant sterols that support healthier looking and feeling skin.

I recently purchased a highly advertised line from a model and I’m not completely impressed. I need something that will provide lift all over the face and help with my under eyes. They are full of wrinkles and show so much when I smile and I love smiling and laughing out loud. Haven’t shared about them in my blog, because I’m not seeing the results I need and believe other women are in the same line as me.
This sounds like a great anti aging skin care.I might have to definitely check out these products.
