MEN SET

Increased sebum production, dirt particles, UV radiation and daily shaving - there are a number of factors that throw men's skin off balance and weaken it. To make men's skin more resistant, it requires skin care products that are specifically geared towards the needs of male skin as even tough skin needs appropriate nourishment to be supported in overcoming any day-to-day challenges. The MEN SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare is the perfect skin care series, even for irritated and stressed male skin, to strengthen it from inside the deeper skin layers making it more resistant and rejuvinated at the same time.

Correct cleansing lays the foundation for a fresh and relaxed appearance. This is made possible by the following MEN SET products:

• The cleansing gel CLEAN MEN
• The tone TONE MEN

Since, anatomically speaking, male skin has more sebum glands compared to female skin, it tends to be more prone to impurities, an oily film and coarse pores. With the right care, however, these factors can be held in check. Starting with the cleansing gel CLEAN MEN, you thoroughly but gently relieve your skin of excess sebum, dirt, dead skin cells and more. Additionally, it is also a very good alternative to shaving foam due to its calming ingredients.

After cleaning as well as possibly shaving, you continue with TONE MEN which perfects the skin cleansing routine while ensuring that the skin's pH value is stabilized. All of the face nourishment products for men by DOCTOR Mi! medical skincare contain effective doses of highly potent and evidence-based active ingredients with cleansing and anti-inflammatory effects such as salicylic acid, AHA fruit acids and SyriCalm™ CLR, and lead to excellent results in terms of facial cleansing and pH balance. TONE MEN, therefore, is a highly effective alternative to after shave.

Building upon this, men's skin needs the right facial skin care products to be supplied with the vital active ingredients in the morning and in the evening that repair the skin, strengthen it from the inside out and make it more resistant to external stressors. In our set, these following products do just that:

• The day cream DAY MEN
• The night cream NIGHT MEN

Both creams are rich without weighing down the skin: They are quickly absorbed and both leave a pleasant feeling. Instead of heavy oils that clog pores, irritate them and promote deposits, the facial skin care for men by Doctor Mi! medical skincare relies on active ingredients proven in studies in high concentrations that achieve convincing results within a short time span.

Retinol, for example, which is the core active ingredient of the entire Doctor Mi! medical skincare range: Retinol, or vitamin A1, is a powerful molecule that has been proven to have cell-rejuvenating effects. Used correctly, it renews the skin and stimulates it to increase activity. If left untreated, retinol can cause irritation if it adheres to the surface of the skin which results in a vexing skin surface that is further weakened.

The facial care products for men by DoctorMi! medical skincare avoid this risk directly with the TECMi!® Deep Technology: This is a special form of molecule encapsulation that is more effective and protects it at the same time. TECMi!®-encapsulated retinol is, in turn, much less sensitive to light and immediately penetrates the lower skin layer without irritating the skin on the surface. Consequently, you are spared the harmful side effects and instead benefit from the entire potential of retinol in the deeper skin layers. A very beneficial side effect here is the research-proven, anti-aging effect of retinol which manifests on your skin in smoother wrinkles and lines.

The remaining functions in our facial skin care products for men are delivered by high-dose active ingredients against oxidative stress such as DEFENSIL®-PLUS or Ectoin®: These protect the skin barrier which is damaged by daily shaving and make it more resistant. In combination with repairing active ingredients such as vitamin B5, vitamin B3 and moisture-retaining lactate buffers, you benefit from a smoother, firmer and all-round refreshed skin that is deeply nourished - making your skin more than prepared against numerous day-to-day challenges.

When selecting the active ingredients for the MEN SET, Dr. Miriam Rehbein focused on the special needs of male skin - on the one hand, choosing the most effective dosages, but on the other hand, harmonizing them in such a way that the products can achieve the best possible effect in their interaction with each other without overtaxing the skin. Particularly important ingredients that reliably care for men's skin are contained in the MEN SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare:

• High-dose TECMi!®-Retinol/Vitamin A1
• Ectoin®
• Salicylic acid/BHA
• AHA fruit acids
• Niacinamide/Vitamin B3
• Pantothenic acid/Vitamin B5
• Lactate buffers
• Amino acids
• SyriCalm ™ CLR
• DEFENSIL® PLUS
• ProRenew COMPLEX CLR™

Dermatologist and founder of Doctor Mi! medical skincare, Dr. Miriam Rehbein, has developed two targeted care routines for men's skin that achieve optimal care effects in the morning and evening and sustainably improve the skin's appearance. By following these application recommendations, significant changes in the skin's appearance will become visible within a short period of time:

• Morning routine for men's skin »
• Evening routine for men's skin »

• The desire for balanced, clarified, resistant and strengthened skin
• Normal skin
• Dry skin
• Oily skin
• Impure and coarse-pored skin
• Sensitive skin
• Mature skin

The active ingredient combinations of the MEN SET are specifically tailored to the needs of men's skin and provide satisfaction with selected, study-proven active ingredient formulations in effective concentrations:

• Deep cleansing, balances irritated male skin
• Anti-itching, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
• Frees the skin from excess sebum, retains moisture
• Repairs the damaged acid mantle of the skin
• Deeply regenerates and stimulates the skin
• Effective skin barrier and cell protection, neutralizes free radicals
• Strengthens the skin's own self-defense system
• Intensive anti-aging effect for a smooth and fresh complexion

• Between 6 to 12 weeks can pass before the process of skin transformation is complete. If your skin reacts during this time with slight redness, sun sensitivity and dryness, this is a good sign and indicates to you that your skin is changing.
• To comprehensively protect your skin effectively, you should apply sunscreen daily and all year round - regardless of using our facial care products for men. The regular use of sun protection factor 50+ reliably protects your skin from UV radiation and its harmful consequences. Ideally, you should apply it after using our care products.
• Our care products EYE, LIP, MASK and BODY & HAND ideally complement the care routine.
• The facial care products of the MEN SET are only suitable for external use. Keep away from children!

Who is the MEN SET by Doctor Mi! for?

The MEN SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare is suitable for all types of male skin, from normal to impure to dry skin. A consistent treatment and care of your skin with the included facial care products achieves a noticeably fresh, invigorated and smooth skin appearance.

Why should I use the entire MEN SET instead of individual products?

All products in the Doctor Mi! MEN SETS are highly effective products that individually achieve exactly the effects for which they were developed. However, the combination of all facial care products provides the best care effects and the fastest way to visibly improved skin.

At what point will I notice positive changes in my skin?

A skin transformation does not happen overnight, yet our products are characterized by their remarkable effectiveness: Within a few weeks, the first changes in the skin's appearance will be clearly visible. A total of 6 to 12 weeks can pass before the skin transformation is complete. However, the exact duration varies from person to person. If you want to achieve results as quickly as possible, the best way to do this is with daily and thorough care.

Can I increase the anti-aging effect for my skin?

Yes, for this we additionally recommend using our skin booster RED and the DERMAROLLER:

• RED is a face cream with high-dose Retinol (8%) and, due to its outstanding results, the undefeated Doctor Mi! medical skincare bestseller. The contained TECMi!®-Retinol accelerates skin rejuvenation significantly and offers you a smoothed skin appearance within a short period of time.
• To further enhance this anti-aging effect and achieve maximum results, we also recommend the Doctor Mi! DERMAROLLER. By working RED directly into the skin (known as microneedling), the DERMAROLLER stimulates the skin cells to produce collagen and elastin, two structural proteins that give the skin resistance and tighten it.

Important: Please note our instructions on microneedling.

What distinguishes men's from women's skin?

The difference in men's and women's skin lies in the different hormone dosages in the body. Men have a higher testosterone content in the blood than women whereas women predominantly have estrogen hormones. Due to the higher testosterone content, men have more sebaceous glands in their skin which is why it is often more coarse-pored and oilier than women's skin. More precisely, this means that men's skin often requires different doses of active ingredients than women's skin. Therefore, we advise against simply using the care products of your partner and to use targeted facial care products that can optimally care for men's skin.

Which MEN SETS care products contain Retinol?

Retinol (vitamin A1) is contained in the DAY MEN and NIGHT MEN creams. The cleansing products CLEAN MEN and TONE MEN, on the other hand, do not contain Retinol.

How do I properly apply the facial care products for men's skin by DOCTOR Mi! medical skincare?

Not only product formulations determine the success of an improved skin appearance: skincare routines are just as crucial for this. Dr. Miriam Rehbein, founder and product developer of DOCTOR Mi! medical skincare, has developed two special skincare routines for men's skin that support you in providing optimal care for your skin:

• Morning routine for men's skin »
• Evening routine for men's skin »

Can I use the MEN SETS care products while shaving?

Yes, you can: CLEAN MEN is ideally suited to serve as a high-quality alternative to shaving foam, while TONE MEN is an effective and deep-conditioning alternative to aftershave.

Can I also use the care products for men's skin in the neck and chest area?

Yes, this is possible and even recommended. We recommend BODY&HAND as a suitable body care, a deeply nourishing body lotion by DOCTOR Mi! medical skincare.

Why is the HAND SANITIZER included in the MEN SET?

Bacteria can harm the body, including the skin: Here they make themselves noticed by causing inflamed skin areas. To avoid transferring bacteria from your cell phone, keys, door handles or other surfaces to your face, you should use HAND SANITIZER regularly. We also recommend that you use your hands as little as possible on your face to avoid impurities.

Important: HAND SANITIZER is intended exclusively for disinfecting hands. Do not apply to the face!

What distinguishes the TECMi!® Deep Technology?

TECMi!® Deep Technology is a unique form of molecule preparation that enables faster and more effective skincare results. By using it to double encapsulate active ingredient molecules, they travel directly to the skin cells in the lower layer of the skin which are crucial for skin transformation. Here, the molecules unleash their full potential and extensively change skin tissue from the deeper layers, leading to significantly faster results than using ordinary (unencapsulated) ingredients.

What fragrance do the DOCTOR Mi! facial care products for men's skin have?

All care products in the MEN SET have a pleasant, natural fragrance. Furthermore, no artificial fragrances are added to our products as these can irritate the skin and harm it in the long term. Especially for skin stressed by daily shaving, the absence of artificial fragrances is particularly important in order to not weaken skin protection.

Where are the products in the DOCTOR Mi! MEN SET produced?

All DOCTOR Mi! medical skincare products are manufactured in Munich, including the facial care products for men's skin in the MEN SET. They are all dermatologically tested and meet even the highest quality standards.
