MD Glam products are formulated to work for all skin types. Many customers who suffer from acne have reported visible improvements with their skin when adhering to an MD Glam skincare regimen. However, MD Glam products aren't formulated to specifically treat acne. Successfully treating acne often requires a prescription medication from a board-certified dermatologist. It is advised to seek the consultation of a dermatologist to treat any adverse skin-related conditions, including chronic acne.

MD Glam products are not formulated to treat acne. However, our customers who presented with acne have reported significant improvement in their skin. Especially since MD GLAM products are non-greasy and hydrating, this often helps treat skin that has dried out from acne treatments.

Yes! Our products are safe to use with rosacea. In fact, our customers who also struggle with rosacea have reported significant improvements in their skin without any flare ups or triggers. We recommend only using MD GLAM products exclusively considering the formulations are paraben and sulfate free, non-greasy, and hydrating.

No! Dr. Cat specifically formulated the MD Glam Sunshout SPF 50 sunscreen because she was frustrated with other sunscreens leaving an unsightly “white cast” upon application. Dr. Cat strongly believes in the importance of sun protection to fight age and has personally tried so many products, only to discard them in the long run. Therefore, she spent over two years in R&D and extensive testing to create the most undetectable, incredible facial sunscreen to hit the beauty market. The proprietary formulation and preparation of the MD Glam Sunshout Sunscreen boast an SPF of 50 with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The main active ingredient is a natural sunblock which rich in anti-aging antioxidants for additional protective complexion benefits. Most importantly, it is non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and can be worn comfortably under makeup – or alone - all day without the dreadful white cast.

First, it’s best to know exactly how the skin reacts. An allergic reaction would result in the form of a rash. If you use products other than MD Glam or take any medications, like birth control, you may experience unwanted flare-ups. Acne is usually hormonal, and consulting with a dermatologist is highly recommended to help resolve the issue. The entire MD Glam collection undergoes rigorous sensitivity testing on a myriad of skin types. Therefore it is unlikely that an acne flare-up is a result of using an MD Glam product.

• MD Glam products are suitable for all skin types. Including sensitive, oily, dry, normal/combination, and mature. In addition, MD Glam products are proprietary-formulated without the use of harsh chemicals found in most other skincare products, such as parabens and sulfates. However, as with any skin care regimen, we highly recommend consulting with your dermatologist before using any MD Glam product.
• MD GLAM products are great for sensitive skin. Dr. Cat personally suffers from sensitive skin issues, which is why she formulated her skincare line. She recommends using only MD GLAM products and not mixing/combining the MD GLAM exclusive products with other brand products. Many times, sensitivity arises from the cleansers, as well, so it’s best to invest in the Full MD GLAM Collection to reap visible, long-lasting results.

MD Glam products are not formulated for the lips but designed for the face, neck, and decollete.

Never combine Retin-A with any MD Glam product. If you have specific questions about your Retin-A prescription and how to use them with skincare products, please consult your dermatologist.

Yes, MD GLAM products are non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and have ingredients that clarify pores.

Dr. Cat created a highly effective, antioxidant-rich day moisturizer without SPF because every woman has a personal preference level they desire on their skin. Some prefer physical, mineral sunblock or to layer a separate SPF-specific product on top of her daytime moisturizer. The DMAE Antioxidant Day Moisturizer is for all skin types of women. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a lightweight veil of long-lasting moisture. The day cream also feels light enough to be worn under makeup or with any sunscreen. The MD GLAM Sunshout 50 SPF also doubles as a daytime moisturizer thanks to its lightweight hydration quality.

It’s recommended for you use the Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub 2-3 times a week for extra exfoliation. Drier skin types should use no more than twice weekly to avoid potential irritation.

The Hyaluronic Acid Night C-Complex consistency is thicker than the DMAE Antioxidant Day Moisturizer because of its rich Hyaluronic Acid content, thus making the night cream consistency rich, creamy, and sumptuous. If you prefer, simply add a few drops of water to dilute the cream and apply only a thin layer to the face. A little goes a long way!

In the morning, start with the DMAE Antioxidant Day Moisturizer, then apply the Sunshout Sunscreen SPF 50. Before bed, cleanse the day away with the Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser. Follow with the Retinol-C Intense Eye Serum to the eye area and any expression lines. Finally, layer the Hyaluronic Acid Night C-Complex night cream over your entire face, neck, and decolletage. Buff away dead, superficial cells with the Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub AFTER the Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser either every day to every few days, depending on your skin type.

A light, fresh fragrance is added to the MD GLAM collection for the ritualistic “experience.” Not only does Dr. Cat want her products to be highly efficacious, but she desires women to enjoy using them. Fragrance and aromatherapy are proven to have positive effects when used in self-care, including skincare. And, if you feel good while practicing your skincare routine, you are more likely to continue doing so. Dr. Cat took a great amount of time in choosing specific scents that would create a sense of calm and tranquility during the skin-pampering process. All MD GLAM products undergo extensive sensitivity testing and we have yet to encounter any issues from our luxurious line of skincare essentials.

Absolutely. MD GLAM is safe to use during pregnancy. We always advise you to consult with your OB/GYN since everyone’s specific condition is different.

MD GLAM skincare essentials are NOT gluten-free. Essentially, skincare products are not meant to be consumed, but rather applied to the skin. Skincare products containing gluten generally do not affect people with gluten sensitivities. Published research as well as the Dermatologic Society and Celiac Society all support that gluten is not absorbed and topical products (any products you use to apply to the skin) with gluten can be used on people with gluten sensitivities. Gluten sensitivities arise only when ingested. To avoid accidentally consuming the products, never apply to the lip area. Gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin.

The Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser works well in the morning and at night for any skin type.

All MD GLAM skincare essentials are suitable for all skin types (sensitive, normal/combination, oily, dry, and mature). However, each person’s complexion varies, so we always recommend you consult with your dermatologist before using any MD GLAM product.

Dr. Cat did consider a fragrance-free skincare line for quite some time. She believes that in addition to being highly effective, skincare should be an “experience,” a moment of pause where women can truly pamper themselves. As scent is intimately linked with our self-care experience, developing and mixing the fresh, light, aromatic notes was one of the most integral aspects of the fastidious formulation process. All MD GLAM products smell fresh, light, and aromatically pleasing to the senses. Plus, they instantly melt into the skin, so their aroma will never compete with your everyday perfume picks.

All MD GLAM products are paraben free and safe to use while breastfeeding except we advise not using the Retinol-C Intense Eye Serum.

Our products are not formulated to treat eczema however, all MD GLAM products are proprietary-formulated without the use of harsh chemicals found in most other skincare products, such as parabens and sulfates which can cause irritation and eczema flare ups. Additionally, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist before using any MD GLAM products.

The night cream’s consistency is thicker than the day cream because of the “plumping effect” of the hyaluronic acid ingredient. Hyaluronic Acid is very concentrated and attracts and retains 1000 times its weight. If desired, simply add a little water to dilute the consistency and apply a thin layer over the face, neck, and decollete. A little goes a long way!

Our products are sold by weight, not volume. The product will likely shift during transportation and may settle over time.

Sorry, but we don’t provide samples of our products. We recommended checking with your dermatologist before undergoing any skincare regimen. Also, rest assured all MD GLAM products undergo extensive sensitivity testing on many skin types.

I chose glass for products with specific ingredients because they have better longevity than plastic and less interaction with plastic components. The products that are stable in tubes are in tubes. There are a lot of details that go into formulations and packaging. It’s more complex than most people believe.

MD GLAM products absorb quickly, are non-greasy, and are formulated for layering without “pilling” if applied as prescribed. The MD GLAM Sunshout Sunscreen 50 SPF is specially formulated to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage, absorbs quickly, disappears into the skin, and can be worn under any makeup. A setting of powder can also use throughout the day to control shine.

Many customers use the Clarisonic with their MD GLAM Deep Pore Cleanser, but it is imperative to keep the brush head clean of any bacteria. Dr. Cat recommends mixing the Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser in your hands after thoroughly washing and gently massage the cleanser over your face and neck. For best results, refer to her video tutorials on the MD GLAM website – Mdglam.com.

Dr. Cat wanted to keep MD GLAM products easy to use without a lot of steps. Also, the complete kit provides all the same benefits as a toner would in a way that is powerful yet gentle on the skin. Toners tend to change the pH balance of the skin, making the most active ingredients in anti-aging skincare either too potent and creating irritation (if it lowers the pH) or ineffective (if it raises the pH). Also, toners often strip the skin of its natural, protective oils, resulting in more irritation. Your skin requires essentials to protect it and keep it from aging. The Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser is potent while moisturizing and gentle at the same time. The Exfoliating Enzyme scrub is used for the extra exfoliation you might need if you have oily skin. Which also imparts antioxidants without stripping susceptible skin.

Only the MD GLAM Retinol-C Eye Serum contains Retinol. The NIGHT and DAY moisturzier and other MD GLAM products do not contain retinol and are safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. The complete ingredient list for each product is availiable on our website - MDGLAM.com for you to review with your OB-GYN or pediatrician for any individual concerns.

Yes we do! Our Overnight Beauty Set is the perfect anti-aging set formulated to combat fine lines, wrinkles, eye bags, and puffiness all while building collagen.

There are multiple causes of dark eye circles like: sinus issues, thin skin, lack of sleep, or dehydration. Our Overnight Beauty Set which consists of the Retinol-C Intense Eye Serum and Hyaluronic Acid Night C-Complex, provides long-lasting, healthy hydration, and promotes collagen production to help combat dark circles. Additionally, because of the delicate eye area and regular milia flare ups, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist before starting any skincare regimen.

We love all MD GLAM products equally as they all contribute to healthy, vibrant, and youthful-looking skin - and nothing beats that! However, most of our first-time customers opt for our Best-Selling Ultimate Anti-Aging Kit because it comprises everything that you need for daily skincare. All products are safe and suitable for all skin types which is a plus!

For any specific skin condition or concern, we recommended the person to visit their dermatologist. However, all MD GLAM products are formulated with skin-supporting, supercharged ingredients that help build collagen and help fade hyperpigmentation. Any skin type can benefit from MD GLAM.

Most of our first-time customers opt for our Best-Selling Ultimate Anti-Aging Kit because it comprises everything that you need for healthy, vibrant, and youthful-looking skin. This set includes our Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser, Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub, DMAE Antioxidant Day Moisturizer, and Hyaluronic Acid Night C-Complex which is perfect for everyday skincare. And yes, all MD GLAM products are safe and suitable for all ages and skin types.

Thank you. All MD GLAM products are measured by weight and not volume. There is an intentional air pocket in the jars, which has the potential to cause “shifting” during shipment and transporting processes. The volume of the MD GLAM products can seem different or “less than expected,” though the amount is correct.

MD GLAM products are formulated to help with hyperpigmentation and fine lines. YES, it will help. However, dark brown spots usually need the aggressive approach of laser treatments to begin the fading process. Please view the MD GLAM video on lasers for more information.

The sooner, the better! Most think to start when you’re older or when your skin begins showing signs of aging. But, being proactive and implementing anti-aging products into your regimen will only help you maintain your natural, beautiful, youthful-looking skin.

Yes! Many people have combination skin with large pores in the T-zone, but dry skin everywhere else. MD GLAM is perfect for addressing this unique skin situation. It helps purify pores while it hydrates your skin. We recommend the complete kit for everyday skincare needs/concerns. The versatile MD GLAM Retinol C-Intense Eye Serum not only keeps the delicate eye area plump, pretty, and hydrated, it benefits other areas of the face where you want to reduce wrinkle depth.

Always cap your products tightly, especially the MD GLAM Hyaluronic Acid Night C-Complex night cream and MD GLAM Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser. All MD GLAM products are formulated with a bevy of highly concentrated ingredients, so you want to be sure to protect them properly. Store all your MD GLAM essentials in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. They can even be stored in the fridge to preserve stability and provide a refreshing feeling to the skin upon application.

Botox inhibits dynamic movement of the facial muscles that eventually form deep dynamic wrinkles, also known as expression lines. On the other hand, skincare improves fine lines, skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin vitality and quality. Neither skincare nor Botox “lift” the face, as a surgical facelift does. The combination of Botox and an effective skincare regimen helps to maintain a long-lasting, youthful appearance.

MD GLAM was developed and formulated by Dr. Cat a celebrity, world-renowned plastic surgeon, and published skincare researcher based in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Cat’s passion for skincare and desire to create a product line from beginning to end that she could stand behind 100% was her lifelong motivations for developing MD GLAM. Not a model or paid actress hired by a marketing firm, Dr. Cat personally created MD GLAM out of a need and request for effective, affordable skincare that also smelled fresh and felt luxurious. She devoted her career by creating a daily, ritualistic experience that she could fall in love with every single day and hope you would, too! Once you try MD GLAM, experience it, and see the transformation in your skin, the difference will be clear.

Absolutely. It’s never too early to start a rigorous skincare regimen. Preventative skin care maintenance is key to a lifetime of beautiful, healthy skin.
