M2 Skin Care
Intensive Acne Control
M2 Skin Care is a remarkable line for achieving healthy, glowing skin. Its unique Alpha Hydroxy Acid formula exfoliates and moisturizes the skin to reduce acne breakouts and scarring.

The M2 Difference
M2 combines two Alpha Hydroxy Acids known for their non-irritating nature, Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid, with potent anti-inflammatories. This unique combination ensures maximum acne control with minimal irritation.

In order to achieve significant results within a reasonable amount of time, higher concentrations of active ingredients have to be used. M2 HP Skin Refinish has a combined strength of 20% AHA, but the main source of its power comes from its low 2.5 pH. The lower the pH, the more active the acids are in the formulation. This low of a pH is usually reserved only for peels performed in a dermatologist's office (most at-home products have a pH between 3.5-4.0).

Benefits of Mandelic Acid
Mandelic Acid is naturally antibacterial. One of the primary contributing factors to inflammatory acne is bacteria. This natural property of Mandelic Acid aids in preventing the appearance of new, unwanted blemishes. Mandelic Acid also absorbs and controls oil. And its gentle penetration protects against irritation, which can cause more redness and more scarring.

Benefits of Malic Acid
Malic Acid is a natural humectant, which draws water out of the dermis and into the epidermis. This helps keep the skin hydrated, without contributing to oiliness. Its natural antioxidant properties help fight free radicals in the skin, which can contribute to skin damage. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for use on sensitive skin, even in high concentrations.

Benefits of Algae Extract (marine-derived anti-inflammatory)
Inflammation is the direct cause of the scarring. Anti-inflammatories allow the skin to begin to heal itself and prevent new scarring. This particular form of Algae Extract is known for its non-irritating and non-comedogenic moisturization qualities (some forms of Algae Extract are not so beneficial). This Algae Extract also helps provide additional protection from irritation.
