What Does White Label Skincare Actually Mean?
White labeling is a business model where a company buys pre-formulated, mass-produced skincare from a manufacturer and simply puts their own branding on the bottle.
The formula remains unchanged, it’s the same base that can be sold under multiple brand names, sometimes with only minor tweaks to scent, packaging, or marketing language.
In skincare, white labeling allows clinics and providers to launch a “private line” without ever being involved in the actual formulation process.
It’s fast. It’s convenient. And it’s highly profitable.
But here’s the problem:
- The doctor didn’t design the formula.
- The doctor didn’t select the ingredients or test its performance.
- And the product may not contain the clinically proven concentrations needed to transform skin.
In my opinion, that’s not good enough.

I’d love to use the Trifecta products but they all contain perfume (ingredients like linalool, limonene, geraniol, etc.) which are known contact irritants although they are “naturally derived” perfumes. In my case, I am severely sensitive to all scent mixes and can only use “unscented” or hypoallergenic ingredients. I understand Dr. Karam is a plastic surgeon and not a dermatologist but would love to understand his rationale for adding these irritants. I’ll be the first to sign up for your future unscented line!! Thanks and love all your great skincare guidance.

Hi Terri—Thanks for your comment! You’re absolutely right that components like linalool and limonene are fragrance constituents, even when naturally derived. In our formulas, they are used at very low levels and are included only to help mask the natural scent of the raw active ingredients. We truly value feedback like yours. Thank you for your kind words and for being part of the discussion.

I have been using Trifecta for 3 months and have not seen much skin improvement. I have large pores and notice when I use Trifecta 3 steps my pores are still large. In the past I used Niacinamide and my pores disappeared but came back once I stopped using it. Niacinamide makes my skin extremly dry and flaky. Will Trifecta start reducing my pores? Also should I be rubbing in the Quench or pat into skin?
Thanks

Hi Teresa —Thanks for your comment! Pore appearance can be influenced by many factors, including skin type, oil production, and hydration. Our approach focuses on supporting overall skin health and balance over time rather than targeting pores aggressively, which can sometimes lead to dryness or irritation. With consistent use, many people notice smoother texture and more refined-looking skin. Regarding application, Quench can be gently patted onto the skin. 😊

Hi, I love the products. I am hoping you can help me. In the morning after I use them I put my Elta MD sunscreen on. As soon as I put it I my face turns red and flushed. I do have rosacea. The thing is at night when I use the product, there is no redness. It seems to be the sunscreen. I am hoping for some advice as for my morning application because I do need to put sunscreen on.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

Hi Darlene—Thanks for your comment! It sounds like your rosacea may be reacting to the sunscreen. One approach is to apply your KaramMD products first, then wait a few minutes before applying sunscreen to allow the skin to settle. If you feel you are experiencing a more severe adverse reaction due to a sensitivity to an ingredient, we recommend you stop using the product immediately and contact your doctor or dermatologist to have your skin evaluated to see what could be the cause.

I’ve been using Trifecta for several months and it absolutely makes a difference.
I’d thought several times about contacting you to see what can be done for milia. Using my Trifecta has certainly helped keep it under control.
A body care line would be great or suggestions about what to do with super dry, scaly skin on my legs!

Hi Tena—Thanks for your comment! Milia can definitely be stubborn, but consistent exfoliation and gentle retinol use, like what you’re already getting with the Trifecta, can help prevent new ones from forming. For stubborn milia, professional removal by a dermatologist is often the safest and most effective option. For your legs, using a gentle exfoliating scrub, such as our Polish, followed by a deeply hydrating moisturizer, like Enrich, can help smooth and repair dry skin. We appreciate your suggestion and will absolutely pass it along to our team. Stay tuned! 💛
