MD Forte

Written by: Tina Laramie

MD Forte is a product line dedicated to restoring skin to its youthfulness. Fine lines are said to be reduced with the glycolic acid compound skin care system. The pH used is closer to the normal skin type allowing higher concentrations of glycolic acid to be added. This significantly increases the usability of the MD forte product line by all skin types. Less skin irritation is possible because of the quality blend of the pH and the acid. MD Forte is a moderately effective anti aging product. However, it is not a face lift in a bottle.

MD Forte also offers non glycolic acid products to target skin types that are sensitive to chemical peels. Maximum results occur when using a 4 step process of cleansing, refreshing, rejuvenating and protecting the skin. The 4 step process should be used as a daily regimen on the outer layer of dry, sun-damaged skin. The results can be younger healthier looking skin. By using this on a daily basis the lower layers of skin can constantly exfoliate and grow. The result can be a better skin tone which actually radiates a glowing warm appearance. The 4 step process is explained further in the Usage of MD Forte part of this webpage.

Genetics plays a big part in how skin ages. But sun damage is the major cause of aging skin. It causes skin to become thinner and less moist. Other factors contribute to wrinkles, such as laughing or frowning, but sun is the major contributor. In a person's 30's the skin starts to lose its youthfulness. It starts showing the first signs of wrinkles and the skin needs more moisturizer. In a person's 40's skin becomes even drier and dead skin cells stay on the surface of the skin longer. As a person ages further the skin continues to get drier and thinner allowing more wrinkles to appear. MD Forte claims its products will help at this time of life.

The outer layer of skin is replenished naturally about every month. With exfoliation an acid is used to speed up this process. The acid breaks down the outer layer allowing the next layer to grow. Allergan, the makers of MD Forte, have created a glycolic acid compound that gently breaks down the bond that holds the dead skin cells together. The epidermis (outer layer of skin) is breached to expose that next layer of skin which is less wrinkled, softer, and more evenly pigmented. Due to the gentle blend of glycolic acid compound found in MD Forte products it can rejuvenate the skin with few side effects and a quick recovery time.
