BEAUTY DOUBLE AGENT: MD Skincare Hydra-Pure Radiance Renewal Serum

Every now and then we meet a beauty product that goes above and beyond the call of duty, successfully (and gorgeously!) carrying out missions for which it was not immediately intended. It's great when we beauty editors uncover these Beauty Double Agents, but it's even better when "real" people do--which is the case with, MD Skincare Hydra-Pure Radiance Renewal Serum the most recent admission to this elite secret club. Here's the story: MD Skincare was created by Manhattan dermatologist Dennis Gross, whose midtown offices are frequented by fashion types and socialites. Some of his patients who were using the serum, (which was created to lighten and brighten hyperpigmentation like sunspots, dark spots, blotchiness and melasma), were so delighted with the results that they began applying it to their under eye circles--and noticed a substantial lightening over time. When patient after patient excitedly gushed to Dr. Gross about their discovery, he took it even further: "I recommended layering this serum under our Lift & Lighten Eye Cream. The feedback has been phenomenal – not only are patients thrilled with the radiance and even tone of their skin, but they are shocked that their dark under-eye circles have faded dramatically, instantly!" And the rest is Beauty Double Agent history. Secret mission, accomplished.
