Why choose M.D. Forte?

Here’s a list of just some of the advantages M.D. Forte has to offer.

• M.D. Forte makes skincare simple with the creation of a 4-step customized process that gives you everything you need for an effective routine.
• It signature ingredient, glycolic acid — an alpha hydroxy acid with decades of research to substantiate its powerful results — delivers a daily dose of exfoliation and rejuvenation.
• These products aren’t just potent; they also won’t irritate the skin. Thanks to the technology of partial neutralization, glycolic acid is gradually released over time. Also, partial neutralization boosts the product’s pH levels to match the skin. All of these benefits help to minimize irritation and enhance efficacy.
• Overall, M.D. Forte’s comprehensive line offers products tailored to your specific skincare needs; it revives and repairs skin, creating a smooth, radiant complexion.

The 4-step regimen

Skincare is easy when you have the right tools! Once you’ve determined your skin type or concern, simply pick and choose to create your ideal regimen.

1. Cleanse. Healthy, youthful skin begins with washing away all surface debris, preparing the face for other treatments. M.D. Forte offers your choice of four different glycolic acid-based cleansers.
   • Most people will want to start out with the mildest formula. M.D. Forte Facial Cleanser I, which contains 12 percent Glycolic Compound, exfoliates the skin for a softer, smoother complexion. It’s also great for acne-prone skin.
   • After getting accustomed to Cleanser I, most individuals can move up to the Facial Cleanser II, which contains 15 percent Glycolic Compound for greater exfoliation. And, fortunately, those with sensitive skin can use it, too.
   • The Facial Cleanser III contains 20 percent Glycolic Compound for the highest level of exfoliation available, without dehydrating skin.
   • Other options include:
     • The Glycare Cleansing Gel — a 15 percent glycolic compound designed to control excess oil production.
     • The Replenish Hydrating Cleanser — a Glycolic-free foaming cleanser perfect for skin that’s recovering after a cosmetic procedure.
2. Renew. The Renew products work to soften and smooth your complexion for younger-looking skin.
   • Similar to M.D. Forte’s facial cleansers, its line of facial lotions comes in three strengths: 15, 20 or 30 percent Glycolic Compound. These alcohol-free products penetrate deep into the skin to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and deliver a healthier complexion.
   • Begin with Facial Lotion I and use it daily for four to six months before proceeding to higher concentrations.
3. Hydrate. Whether your skin is bone dry or tends toward shine, you’re sure to find the appropriate moisturizer in this system. All three formulas are glycolic-free.
   • For oily or acneic skin, try the Advanced Hydrating Complex Gel, a lightweight and noncomedogenic formula that absorbs instantly to soothe and calm the skin.
   • For a richer formula, try the Advanced Hydrating Complex Cream, which is a great choice for both normal and dry skin types. This high-tech formula combines ingredients like yeast extract, hyaluronic acid and liposomes to soften skin, especially in cooler weather.
   • Sensitive or very dry skin will benefit from the Replenish Hydrating Cream that rebuilds damaged skin while infusing it with humectants and antioxidants to moisturize and protect skin from future damage.
4. Protect. To protect your skin from premature aging and sun damage, your routine must include sunscreen. M.D. Forte offers two advanced formulas to shield your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. Both products are glycolic-free, noncomedogenic, dermatologist-tested and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
   • The Total Daily Protector SPF 15 contains transparent Zinc Oxide for superior sun protection, while allantoin and vitamin E soothe and protect skin from environmental damage.
   • For maximum environmental defense, the Aftercare Environmental Protector SPF 30 protects skin from sun, wind, fluorescent lighting and extreme temperatures. It’s also ideal after cosmetic procedures.
