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.”

“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.”

Great to see another great review of JolieMD. They have Nadine confused as a developer rather than creative director but what’s important is they give an honest, independent review after having using the product for a month:
“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. ”

Modern “technology” in skin care has come a long way compared to the state one would have found even 10-15 years ago. Research into the vast array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, botanicals, marine bioactives, and fruit extracts as well as penetrants, texturizers and emulsifiers have truly led to a remarkable turnaround in the quality of skin care presently available to consumers.
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.

Many patients have always thought that in order to even their skin tone and remove the sun damage or post pregnancy heperpigmentatiion, that their only option was to go see their physician and get a prescription for hydroquinone or a hydroquinone containing product like Triluma. And this is just one of the great reasons that we created JolieMD.
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

One of the most important parts of a project like JolieMD was messaging; now that Dr Litner and I had created our hero products, how were we going to explain that this product worked on anti- aging by removing fine lines and wrinkles as well as by evening skin tone, while also combating stubborn acne and hyperpigmentation.
Here we need to first thank Nadine Jolie, who was there to help us take out the medicalese and explain in clear terms what women needed to know. Tirelessly, she edited copy after copy of the philosophy behind the brand, the ingredients present and how they worked, and the irritants that we had avoided and why we had avoided them. She helped fashion the message we wanted to tell: that we had combined over 22% active ingredients in each- Softening Serum and Lightening Lotion- and that was why JolieMD works- period.
And more, Nadine was there, with our Practice Manager Baharak Amirian, to review the packaging to make sure it is feminine enough, sophisticated enough; to feel the products and make sure they are smooth enough, soft enough. Their fingerprints, along with our families and friends, have been present throughout the project from the beginning, and so we named this beautiful new product JolieMD- because from the beginning Dr Litner and I want to create a new brand that has that unique combination that we think had eluded skin care to date- an effective, simple to use product, that was beautiful…that was Jolie.
With the message complete, we turned to the PR expertise of Erin Kelly of The Collective, and our dear friend and retail liaison Danielle Bristol Chang, who together and in their own respective ways have worked tirelessly reaching out to beauty bloggers, beauty editors, and beauty buyers everywhere to get the word out that there is a new brand of skin care- JolieMD.
Dr Litner and I cannot thank our dedicated team enough for all their efforts to let you know about JolieMD.

When Dr Litner and I started thinking about JolieMD: two things were forefront in our mind
1 It has to work- a hero product
2. It needs to be glamorous, beautiful, and unlike all the other sterile, unisex doctor lines already available
As we wrote yesterday, making a product that was effective, easy to use and gentle took an intense amount of research, time and the help of the team at Free Radical Technology. But perhaps, in some ways almost as important, was the design, packaging and look of the products and for this we need to thank first and foremost, Tracy Capisce of Capisce Design, as well as our very own Nadine Jolie, who as Creative Director was there to help us navigate this process from the beginning.
First, what can we say about the dedication and imagination of Ms Tracy Capisce. Even upon our initial meeting with Tracy, we knew that she was the one who could translate our vision of glamour, sophistication and beauty to this product we had created. After countless reviews and with the help of Marla Litner- Dr Litner’s wife- we had finally chosen an airless bottle, and a conceptual framework- we wanted a beautiful gift- like package that showed the faces of all the various beautiful women’s complexions for whom JolieMD was created. It was Tracy’s job to make the packaging beautiful and sophisticated, even as people all around were telling her and us that faces on a box would not work.
From the beginning Tracy completely accepted the challenge and put herself entirely into the project- tirelessly making herself available for model shoots, packaging press checks, and iteration after iteration of the packaging and website. And we simply cannot thank her enough for her smiling, wonderful imagination that entirely captured our vision.

The Formulation
In our ongoing “Who’s who” list of all those who helped Dr Litner and I create JolieMD, we wanted to turn today to perhaps the most challenging step in the creation of JolieMD- those who helped us in the real work of putting all of the ingredients we wanted together in a formulation that feels great, achieves real results, and is non- irritating.
So in formulation, Dr Litner and I would have to thank first and foremost, John Garruto, Tina Fleck, and the entire team of chemists at Free Radical Technology who helped us put Metamorphosis together. In formulating Softening Serum and Enlightening Lotion, their team had the unenviable position of having to achieve the previously unimaginable.
In 2 steps we wanted to blend all of the ingredients we had researched and needed to stop acne, treat hyperpigmentation, and fight wrinkles, and the product had to:
1 Be gentle enough for every complexion
2 Stay effective for the life of the product (wanted active ingredients to remain active and not oxidize), and
3. Be free of all the potentially harmful elements (think parabens, sulfates, and phthalates that are ubiquitous in the skin care industry)
The team at Free Radical was amazing in not only achieving our requests but also in making sure that the products felt better smooth and luxurious and did not cause any bleaching or staining of pillows or clothes as so many other products do.
Simply put, the Free Radical Technology team is amazing and Dr Litner and I cannot thank them enough for all their help.

The Inspiration
In the beginning, Dr Litner and I wanted to accomplish one simple thing:
Create the best possible treatment for the 3 things that all women want from their skin care products:
1. To be rid of acne
2. To have even, smooth complexion, free of hyperpigmentation and the need for cover up
3. To achieve and maintain vibrant, youthful skin as free of wrinkles as possible for as long as possible.
While Dr Litner and I spent hundreds and thousands of hours in researching acne, aging, hyperpigmentation and the ingredients we needed to create the best possible product to treat them, JolieMD’s Metamorphosis would not have been the great product it is but for the help of all the people in our lives who helped us create it. So we wanted to acknowledge the hard work of everyone of the JolieMD team, who each in their own way is a co-creator of our amazing product. Over the next few days we wanted to take some time to highlight the efforts of some of our many co-creators.
For me personally the search for JolieMD, as with all creation, started with an inspiration, my beautiful girlfriend, Sheree. What was striking for me was that over the years Sheree would often remark on how she had never found any skin care products that not only stopped her acne breakouts but also the resulting hyperpigmentation that led her to use cover up every day to even out her complexion.
This simple idea, a product that stopped acne, cleared hyperpigmentation, and allowed for a youthful, wrinkle free complexion brought countless people to us whose contribution, small and large, led Dr Litner and I to create a new brand of skin care.
