Introducing M Lab

M Lab, short for Milbar Laboratories, has been formulating physician-grade skin care for dermatologists and plastic surgeons for over 25 years. Throughout these years, M Lab has focused its efforts on rigorous research to put the most effective ingredients in its formulas. And the company continues to employ a scrupulous scientific approach to skin care today. One example of M Lab’s emphasis on research is right on the bottle, which boasts up to 82 percent clinically active ingredients. These active ingredients effectively treat everything from acne to aging to discoloration.

But, despite M Lab’s longstanding presence and respected reputation in the skincare industry, you might’ve never heard of this company. Until recently, M Lab was exclusively available at Harrods department store in London. Fortunately, today, you can purchase M Lab’s products online as well.

Science-based skin care

What distinguishes M Lab from other cosmeceutical companies is its outstanding commitment to science. Armed with a team of top scientists, M Lab produces products that provide visible results. Here’s how:

• Clinically active ingredients. Active ingredients are the components of a skincare product that create its intended effect (think acne-fighting salicylic acid). These ingredients produce a pharmacological change in the skin. If you look at your current skincare products, you may find that many of the ingredients are listed in the middle or toward the end of the ingredient list. As Daniel B. Yarosh, Ph.D., points out in his book, The New Science of Perfect Skin: Understanding Skin-Care Myths and Miracle, if an active ingredient is listed in the bottom third of the ingredient list, then its strength is likely to be very low.

Why would a skincare company skimp on the ingredients that are most effective? Active ingredients can be costly, so some companies rely instead on fancy marketing or “bargain” price tags to sell products. In contrast, M Lab’s formulas contain much higher percentages of active ingredients — more than other companies on the market today.

• Innovative blends. While many companies base product lines on a single active ingredient, M Lab uses extensive clinical research to develop sophisticated blends of clinically active ingredients. In every formula, you’ll find a precise complex of active ingredients that synergistically enhance the outcome of the product.

• Commitment to quality. To ensure top-quality products, M Lab researches, develops and produces every formula — never relying on third party manufacturers like other cosmeceutical companies. Also, volunteer panels clinically test each formula to ensure great results, and M Lab never uses potentially irritating chemicals like parabens.

The price is right

You may be thinking that other skincare lines are less expensive than M Lab. But a lower price doesn’t make a better product. In fact, with each M Lab formula, it’s as though you’re getting several products for the price of one. That’s because M Lab’s formulas are packed with effective, potent ingredients. Remember that one bottle of M Lab contains up to 82 percent active ingredients, which is much higher than other skincare brands. So though you may be paying less with the competition, it’s likely you’re also getting less.

Bottom line

All skincare products aren’t created equal, so it’s essential to be selective when creating your personal regimen. Turn to companies like M Lab, which are committed to superior quality, using a high concentration of active ingredients and applying the latest scientific research to develop every product. Whether you are concerned with acne or aging, trust M Lab to transform your skin.
