Many people suffer with skin tags or moles that can pop up anywhere over the face and body. They become increasingly common with age affecting up to 50% of adults. Although luckily these tags are benign, they can be embarrassing and unsightly. They can get in the way, making you want to cover up. It can feel like there is nowhere to turn to get rid of tags, moles or warts, other than expensive cosmetic surgeries.
And let’s face it, most of us don’t have that much spare cash lying around. And we don’t fancy undergoing painful surgery either. In fact, many of us prefer to avoid the doctor altogether. People can even feel pushed to turn to dangerous, painful measures such as snipping them off with nail clippers or scissors.
If this sounds like you, and you are looking for a solution then read on. First we’ll go over Skintology MD and if it’s a scam or not.
So what is Skintology MD?
Skintology MD has claimed to have developed a specialized mole and tag removal cream. It is an all-natural cream that can be applied at home. It works to combat and remove embarrassing tags, moles and warts from the root. You are instructed to apply the serum once a day for just 30 minutes to begin seeing results in a matter of days from the first few applications. They claim this works even on small moles that are hard to reach and is a fast, safe way to combat the problem. Avoid cutting them off with other home methods that can cause bleeding and pain!
How do Skintology MD products work?
Ok, so it sounds great, but how does it work? Let’s look into some of the science behind the Skintology MD formulation.
- Cut off moisture – The Skintology company states that their solution penetrates deep down to dehydrate and shrink skin tags and moles.
- Dry up the area – These then begin to dry up and shrivel up, eventually reducing drastically or even falling off.
- Rejuvenate – The cream can then help hydrate and nourish the skin to allow new growth. This allows the affected area to be refreshed as quickly as possible.
What are the key ingredients?
This mole and skin tab cream uses natural ingredients to reduce and fight signs of moles and skin tabs. The key Skintology ingredients and their properties are as follows:
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), in fact it is the smallest one, meaning it can easily penetrate the skin. It is derived from sugar crops and is used in many skin care treatments as it is a great exfoliator. It gets deep down into hair follicles and removes and loosens dirt, oil, or dead skin cells. Its a wonderful all-rounder for fighting spots, acne, discoloration, dryness, and even scars. It keeps skin super soft and helps to restore the skin after the tag or mole has been removed.
Squalane
Squalane is a smart hydrator. It mimics the way your body naturally hydrates rendering it extra effective. In fact the body produces its own version ‘squalene’ but the body’s production of it reduces with age. Squalane reduces inflammation and combats free radicals as well as getting deep down into the skin to moisturise and replenish.
Salix Alba (White Willow) Bark Extract
Anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and acne-combatting, Salix Alba is top natural ingredient for many skin care items. It is extracted from the bark of willow trees and contains tannins that can help treat certain skin conditions like eczema. The Salicylic Acid content also exfoliates.
Oat Kernel Extract
Oat Kernel Extract or ‘Avena Sativa’ is a great anti-aging and calming ingredient for skin. It’s an oil that helps hydrate dry or flaky skin as well as restore the skin’s natural barrier.
Salicylic Acid
A strong Beta Hydroxy Acid that actively helps reduce blemishes and imperfections. It is a strong ingredient that reduces and prevents scarring of the skin particularly where moles or skin tabs might leave long-lasting damage. It can help fight against discolouration of the skin too and help remove excess oil!
MD Revive Cream
The MD Revive cream formula is designed to work effectively in conjunction with the Skintology MD cream. It uses a whole host of ingredients to re-hydrate and replenish the skin after the removal of tabs or moles:
Saccharide Isomerate
A long-lasting moisturising agent that hydrates very well. It contains a carbohydrate that is naturally produced by the skin and stays absorbed for higher longevity.
Squalane
Like in the mole and tag cream, this redness and inflammation reducing, moisturising ingredient also appears also in the MD Revive cream, working at a cellular level.
Agastache Mexicana Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
A restorative, healing plant extract from a traditional Mexican plant. This ingredient helps to avoid the skin getting infected as well as containing anti-fungal properties.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
A soothing and nourishing antioxidant this helps to promote the skin’s collagen production. It can help protect from damaging UV rays and help calm and nourish cells.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
An extract form the Chamomile plant this ingredient has calming, soothing and restorative properties perfect for encouraging a soft, clear complexion.
Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)
This is a great natural acid that attracts moisture molecules and actively plumps the skin. It smooths and promotes the production of collagen and elastin working as a great anti-ager.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
One of most nourishing natural ingredients in the Skintology MD Revive Cream, Aloe leaf juice contains enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients. It promotes collagen production as well as helping to hydrate and protect from ultraviolet light.
Centella Asiatica Extract
An extract from a medicinal plant typically found in Asia. It works to create a youthful complexion and purify and brighten the face and body. It also helps to reduce redness and combat inflammation.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Acne, dull or aged skin beware. Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, can both fight these issues and help protect your skin from toxins and outside pollutive factors.
Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5)
Another vitamin here which encourages new youthful skin, and heals lifeless, aging complexions.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C)
For sun lovers, this vitamin C derivative enables sunscreen to work its best while helping any discolouration on the skin. It can also target pimples and acne, as well as reduce and lighten imperfections.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
Another great protector from sun damage such as harmful UV rays and free radicals. Often found in supplements and facial product or oil, it helps to purify and condition the skin and is a powerful antioxidant.
Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6)
An uneven skin tone or discolouration can be evened out with this type of nourishing vitamin. It is highly rated as an ingredient in reviews for eczema or dermatitis treatments.
Why We Don’t Recommend Skintology MD
Overall we don’t recommend this product. The main reason is that they are unrealistic about their claims.
Also, their money-back guarantee is handled case by case: Although the website publicizes a refund for unhappy customers, the fine print reveals that this is handled case by case. It is wise, therefore, to be wary that a full refund may not always be issued. Some reviews have explained that they were only issued a partial refund and were not happy with this, but it could be different for each person depending on their results.
Customer Service might also be hard to reach: Some reviews from customers suggest that the customer service team are hard to reach when trying to cancel subscriptions, return Skintology MD creams, or make complaints. Some people had difficulties with processing refunds. This could be a red flag when deciding whether or not to buy and test out the product.
Is Skintology MD a scam?
Many people want to know, is this product a scam. Well in terms of the product, it does exist, it includes what it says and yes, it will be delivered to your door. So in this sense it is a “legitimate” product.
Some people left a review claiming to have problems with customer service regarding returns, refunds and complaints though. Honestly just save your money and get one of the products we suggest below.
Alternate Products
Like we mentioned, we don’t recommend Skintology so here are a few alternate products.
Skin Tag Remover & Mole Corrector – All Natural Skin Tag Cream-For Safe, Effective Skin Tag Removal
This is a skin tag remover with all-natural ingredients. It can be used on the body or the feet and is good for almost all skin types.
Like other products, it’s easy to use and designed to be used in the comfort of your own home.
Claritag Advanced Skin Tag Removal Device Cryogenic Freeze-Off Treatment Kit for Clean And Easy At Home Use
This product is clinically tested to remove skin tags effectively in the comfort of your own home. We should note that the product states not to use it near or on the eye lids.
It includes up to 10 treatments per kit and has a video instruction set.
Pros of Using a Skin Tag Remover
No pain, blood or surgery: These are one of the least invasive ways to remove skin tags and moles. All the user needs to do is apply the formula to the affected areas. Many other removal methods can be more extreme, for example cauterisation in which electrolysis is used to burn off tags, excision cutting off skin tabs with a scalpel, or for very small tags, sometimes removing them at home using thread or floss around them to cut them off (beware this isn’t recommended as it could cause bleeding or infection).
Easy to use: Just apply the solution and leave it according to directions on the bottle. Remember to wipe it off after the allotted time.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a non-surgical option to reduce the effects of skin tags (1) and moles, the Skintology MD cream uses natural ingredients and claims to do just that. They state that their formulation can be used for half an hour each day and you will start to see improvements in just a few days.
This means that it could be an option well-worth checking out. Skintology MD reviews are mixed however, and the product may reap different results for different people. It could be worth trying out the single bottle to start as there is a 30 day period to claim a refund if unhappy. However, just be aware, review forums online suggest, that although a refund is usually issued, it may not be a full refund each time.
Overall though, if you don’t want to take things to extreme surgical measures, why not give this a go and review the results yourself?
