MDSUN is a skin care line launched by plastic surgeon Dr. George Sun. Dr. Sun was looking to create products that really worked while being gentle on the skin. I got a chance to try out a couple of his products.
First off is the MDSUN Skin Exfoliation Pads ($78). These thin and soft pads remove pore-clogging debris with ingredients such as glycolic acid, polyhydroxy acid, lactobionic acid and essential vitamins. Usually when I have used these kinds of pads, it feels coarse to my skin. These pads are so soft! There's no grainy texture or harsh movement necessary to literally exfoliate. I really like the idea about exfoliating without realizing it. I have been using it twice a week, replacing my exfoliation scrub I usually use. I have sensitive skin and worked perfectly.
To apply, I first clean my entire face. I then take a single exfoliation pad and wipe it all over my face, avoiding my eye area. I leave it on. I don't apply my nighttime routine (toner, cream, etc.) until at least 30 minutes later. I like to let it sit on my skin and work it's magic. I like this system so much better as the whole act of exfoliating is non-invasive -- you aren't rubbing your skin with grains or beads that can harm it.
One skin care product I always love to try is eye creams. It's important to find one that has a good texture and that really hydrates that delicate eye area. MDSUN's Intensive Eye Gel ($105) is one of the best I have ever tried. No wonder it's one of their most popular products. It takes a few pumps to get a new bottle going but you only need 1 pump a night and in the morning. I usually do a pump and warm it between a couple of my fingers and dab it every so lightly under my eye and along the bone on the tops of my eyes. The formula is this wonderful yellow gel that absorbs quickly into the skin. The formula contains a blend of ingredients for anti-aging, brightening and hydrating -- sodium hyaluronate, coenzyme q10 and vitamin E. Vitamin C and K reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles which has helped since I have recently been suffering major allergies. I really love how it feels on the skin!
