FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 We are pleased to say that KaramMD Skin products have been formulated to benefit all skin types, including sensitive skin.

 We believe your routine doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. The products required depend on if you’re getting the active ingredients you need for effective skincare.  We believe that the pillars for achieving vibrant, healthy skin are easy to follow: sun protection, a gentle cleanser, optimal active ingredients, and regular exfoliation.

While standard vitamin c products can be irritating to the skin, Quench is a combination of 3 different types of Vitamin C and other supporting ingredients. It is designed to increase the effectiveness of the product over standard Vitamin C formulations yet be well tolerated by all skin types, even sensitive skin. With this being said, we cannot give you a standard concentration comparison that you are used to seeing because this particular compound out performs the typical Ascorbic acid that is used in many Vitamin C serums. Dr. Karam believes that microdosing Vitamin C twice daily in comparison to using a 10-12% Vitamin C serum once daily is much more effective and also avoids reactions like breakouts and irritation.

When we refer to "active ingredients" we mean the ingredients that make a skincare product effective. We carefully selected premium active ingredients to target and address your most common skincare concerns.

Dr. Karam made it his mission to incorporate a moderated dose of active retinol into his hero product, Illuminate, to ensure that all skin types can reap the multitude of benefits without concerns of irritation. Along with aloe and encapsulated hyaluronic acid, Illuminate boasts a patented lipid complex blend that aids in soothing and hydrating the skin.

Quench is not a standard Vitamin C Serum, it is a combination of three different types of Vitamin C and other supporting ingredients designed to increase the effectiveness of the product over standard Vitamin C formulations yet be well tolerated by all skin types, even sensitive skin.  Each category of product has its own unique percentage and theref

The retinol in Illuminate was never meant as a stand alone ingredient, it is just one of over a dozen active ingredients used for brightening and improving uneven skin tone. Illuminate was formulated to address various signs of aging skin - dryness, uneven skin tone, firmness, decrease the appearance of lines, wrinkles, smooth texture, brightening and radiance. The formula is a cutting-edge product that produces results but is well tolerated for all skin types and textures even for sensitive skin; therefore the concentration of the retinol has had to be carefully modulated to meet these specifications.  The retinol comes in a form of a patented complex designed to maximize absorption and efficacy.  

Use of full strength retinols and Retin-A cuts the pool of customers significantly as most people can’t tolerate it therefore they stop using it. In this case, even at low doses, it is still creating positive anti-aging effects specifically because it is tolerated and people use it 2x a day over time.  

For those who want the extra retinol or are already using it, you can use it in conjunction with Illuminate. You would apply it after you complete your Trifecta routine as the final step of your evening routine.
