“This line’s promises are as wide-ranging as the Baby Quasar: it claims to diminish wrinkles, even pigmentation, and reduce acne while calming the triggers of new discoloration including inflammation and sun damage. But does it actually live up to the hype?

I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience, but in my opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. I’ve been more impressed by this skincare line than any other in recent history. When the Softening Serum quickly seeped into my skin, I knew I was dealing with quality goods. And I love the Enlightening Lotion – it feels fantastic to apply and the scent is subtle and pleasant.

As results go, JolieMD is unmatched in my skincare experience: I’ve been using the product for about four months now, and I’ve definitely seen improvements in my skin. My neck feels softer, my undereye circles are lighter, and the breakouts and discoloration I often got on my nose and chin have all but disappeared.”

One of the main reasons we created Metamorphosis was to help women of color achieve beautiful, makeup free skin. We know it takes time and that many women are disappointed by all the promises that other products make and then fail to achieve. So we are excited to see all the different women who have tried Metamorphosis and are already seeing the difference.

“Hyper-pigmentation and acne scars can be annoying little pests that make a home on your face without as much of a hint of disappearing. If you’re like me and have tried many different do it yourself fade creams, peels and exfoliation that didn’t work, you probably wouldn’t be convinced that any other product on the market is really worth its weight.

Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to use a new line of products from two facial plastic surgeons out of Beverly Hills. Doctors Peyman Solieman and Jason Litner created JolieMD Metamorphosis, a two-step system for ethnic skin that diminishes wrinkles, pigmentation and reduces acne while calming the triggers of new discoloration including inflammation and sun damage. With continued use over six weeks you will begin to notice a difference in your skin.”

“I wanted to repair and refresh my complexion for spring with a less severe alternative to a chemical peel. I came across the new upscale, at home skincare system by Jolie MD. The two step system was created by Beverly Hills plastic surgeons Dr. Jason Litner and Dr. Peyman Solieman…After the eight weeks, I noticed my skin was more radiant and any visible damage from artificial tanning vanished.”

“The lightening lotion is phenomenal. It is lightweight and very non-greasy. This is important to me because I have very oily skin. In addition, the lightening lotion gives your skin the most amazing glow. The glow is better than a light sun-kissed tan. More importantly, this skincare system did not break me out. I have extremely sensitive skin and I did not experience one blemish during the 6 week trial…”

“I also noticed that JolieMD made my skin very very smooth. It improved my skin’s texture by 100%. Seriously. I am always struggling with blackheads and big pores, but my skin feels smooth as a baby’s. I am sure that is the slow and daily exfoliation caused alpha-hydroxy acids in the softening serum. Last week my niece touched my face and she said “Toicha, your skin is so smooth”. Boy that made me feel good!

“Overall I really love this product! I am definitely going to use JolieMD Metamorphosis as my skincare system of choice; not because it totally got rid of my dark spots. But because I have not had one pimple or black head since using the product and like I said my skin is so soft and smooth! The two-part system retails for $95 dollars and I think it is absolutely worth it.”

Adult hormonal acne often does not respond to benzoyl peroxide treatments and needs a different approach. For the sake of simplicity you should know that the path to a breakout is well known and really involves 4 steps:

1. Comedogenesis- Simple term a plugged follicle
2. Increased Oil (Sebum) production
3. Increased bacteria (the main one being P. acnes)
4. Inflammation

Once this path happens, the follicle ruptures and extends causing papules, pustules, nodules, white heads, and blackheads. And if you have skin of color, the unfortunate hyperpigmentation (brown spot) that is often bigger and lasts longer than the acne itself.

The wonderful thing about Metamorphosis is that it not only works at every step in the acne pathway, but also helps remove the hyperpigmentation and prevent further breakouts.

So how does it work?

Simply by targeting each step in the acne pathway:

Preventing Plugged Follicles- Metamorphosis is very unique in combining Slow Release Alpha, Beta and Poly hydroxy acids in the Softening Serum. The formulation was specifically formulated so you can leave it on all night so that it would be as effective as possible. But Metamorphosis goes even further by placing Retinol in Enlightening Lotion. The result is a very effective but gentle turnover of old skin that prevents plugged follicles.

The main ingredients shown to work topically to Reduce Oil Production are Alpha acids, Salicyclic Acid, and retinols. You should know that Softening Serum and Enlightening Lotion have all of these ingredients in the most effective concentrations available for daily use as well as Flavosterone, which has also been shown to reduce sebum production. And again, unlike most other products, you leave Metamorphosis on after application with no need to wash off or neutralize. As a result, the products are safe, easy to use, and most importantly, actually have the time they need to work.

Anti- Bacterial- Unlike most products that rely only on Benzoyl peroxide which can irritate your skin and stain your clothes and bed sheets, Metamorphosis’ antibacterial activity is the result of its unique combination of Hexylresorcinol, Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. The result is a one of a kind formulation that works where other systems fail.

Inflammation-And finally, one of the exceptional elements of the Metamorphosis process is the potent blend of anti-inflammatories and barrier protectants that are ultimately so important in repairing the skin barrier and in preventing acne. Amongst these are scientifically proven concentrations of Niacinamide, Symcalmin, Feverfew, Bisabolol, and Willowherb.

Metamorphosis was formulated to transform your skin so that you can have fewer acne breakouts, while you clear your skin of hyperpigmentation and improve the signs of aging . And you can read more about our innovative new approach to skin care here.

“I used these products for about 4 weeks, and overall I had great results. My complexion is clearer, my pores are much less noticeable and my face is really soft.”

“I’ve seen improvement in the overall tone and evenness of my complexion; for instance, a recent stubborn acne scar has finally started to fade. I have fewer clogged pores, and much of the redness in my cheeks has disappeared… I see gradual, but consistent, improvement along the lines of the before-and-after shots on JolieMD’s website. ”

And yet for the great majority of women, there has still been something lacking- Real Results. How else can you explain the confusion you encounter walking down an aisle of your local beauty store. Why does every brand have an entire wall of products designed to help treat your skin?

“It’s the style that gets you; technological ugliness syruped over with romantic phoniness in an effort to produce beauty and profit by people who, though stylish, don’t know where to start because no one has ever told them there’s such a thing as Quality in this world and it’s real, not style.”

What we sought and achieved with JolieMD is not just a distinct point of view, a new way of looking at skin care but real results. We wanted women to accomplish what they have always really wanted: beautiful, vibrant skin. In the process, we created a simple 2 step system that allows your skin to be at once less susceptible to acne, younger looking, and clear of the hyperpigmentation that has arisen from years of sun damage, acne and hormonal changes.

Where all previous skin care brands have been designed under an artificial system of skin “diseases”   requiring a wall of products consisting of an “acne system,” a “hyperpigmentation system,” an “anti-aging system,” so on and so forth; JolieMD is a 2 step system.

You may ask how is this possible?

The answer is not a magic berry, or a new peptide. Instead, it is an innovative new approach to skin care that combines the best ingredients nature has to offer in the concentrations science has shown to be required to affect real results.

JolieMD is Quality: a fusion of nature and the human spirit into a new kind of skin care that transcends both.

First, and most importantly, JolieMD works. Hydoquinone is a compound that simply acts to competitively inhibit the major enzyme (Tyrosinase) that produces your pigment (melanin). What this means is that it competes with the Tyrosinase enzyme’s natural molecule in your body ( an amino acid tyrosine) as it attempts to be converted to melanin. So, in theory, the more hydroquinone you use, the less pigment your body makes.

Unfortunately, hydroquinone has many potential and real draw backs. Hydroquinone is very unstable and rapidly gets oxidized. It can induce redness, skin irritation, contact dermatitis (allergic reaction), and at a high enough concentration it can cause permanent skin depigmentation. Moreover, chronic usage of cosmetics containing hydroquinone can result in ochronosis, which commonly presents as asymptomatic blue-black macules on the cheeks, temples,  and neck. And there are even reports that chronic use can cause your body to exude an offensive fish odor in the sweat that is described as “fish odor syndrome.” As a result of these problems, as well as its potential carcinogenic effects, hydroquinone has already been banned in Europe as well as much of Asia. And here, in the U.S., In 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration revoked its previous approval of hydroquinone and proposed a ban on all  over the counter preparations. While this did not happen, Dr Litner and I decided that there must be a better alternative- JolieMD.

While products that contain hydroquinone generally rely on its one mechanism to remove spots, JolieMD was formulated to include 19 different active ingredients that have clinically proven lightening abilities, and do not have any of the potential issues that the use of hydroquinone brings up. Moreover, unlike hydroquinone containing alternatives JolieMD has clinically proven anti-aging and anti-acne ingredients that allow you to truly achieve the glowing, youthful, makeup free skin you have always wanted. So below we have included a small chart of just some of the benefits that JolieMD has over hydroquinone containing alternatives. And, we have even attached a more fully developed chart for those interested in a pdf format here Hydroquinone-vs-JolieMD

Throughout the process we wanted to make sure the products had the best active ingredients nature had to offer, and so that’s why both Softening Serum and Enlightening Lotion each are over 20% active ingredients. Compare this to the majority of products out on the market today, which have at most 3-4% active ingredient, and you begin to understand why JolieMD can do so much in 2 simple steps.
