FAQs
MKA by Dr. Kingsley is a combination of rigorous scientific research and only the best proven natural ingredients. Our goal is to subject natural ingredients to scientific analysis and only use effective ingredients rather than hype and marketing. Every element of each product has a proven purpose. We do not make use of fillers or any unnecessary ingredients.
Our science is backed by Boston medical research, as well as extensive research carried out in the USA, Japan, Canada, and Thailand. Our super-ingredient, Canadian Rainforest Glacial Clay has been investigated at MIT for its healing and restorative properties. It has been used by indigenous Canadian peoples for thousands of years to cure a range of skin conditions and is now available to you too. Multiple clinical trials have studied this ingredient, so you can rest assured that you are making use of only the best, proven products.
Absolutely! MKA by Dr. Kingsley has been formulated with sensitive skin in mind. We run extensive clinical trials on our products, with a wide variety of people. All skin types are taken into consideration, especially sensitive skin. We know how painful it can be to have a reaction to a skincare product that is too harsh for your skin. MKA by Dr. Kingsley is designed to be gentle, yet effective. Our anti-ageing creams, serums and clay face mask will moisturize and cleanse your skin without unpleasant side effects.
Our night cream does have retinol, but the day cream is retinol free. Retinol night cream is best used as directed, at night. You should not apply retinol to your skin and go out in the sun as you run the risk of having a reaction. Many skincare companies will not tell you this, and often the reactions are a result of incorrect usage. Using a small amount of retinol night cream initially and then increasing it slowly, is a great way to get your skin used to this wonder ingredient. Morning skincare routines should focus on a day cream with SPF such as our Defense Day Cream SPF-30, and a makeup spray such as our KissMist Makeup Lock Spray SPF-15.
So many products make use of these terms loosely, without ever really subjecting their ingredients to rigorous scientific testing.
MKA by Dr. Kingsley knows that not all ingredients are created equally, and we use science to determine which are the best. For example, Vitamin C in skincare can come in a variety of forms, but we know which of those simply works better than the others. The Vitamin C form that we use is more expensive but worth it. Quality is more important than profit.
Combinations of ingredients are just as important. Getting precisely the correct percentage of powerful ingredients is key to producing skincare products that work. Our clinical trials have revealed that identical ingredients used in the incorrect percentages will simply not result in them working in synergy with each other. Our lead chemist, who received a perfect 4.0 GPA for his PhD at a major USA university, ensures that only the best, scientifically proven combinations and ingredients go into any one of our products.
Dr. Kingsley is a renowned reconstructive surgeon in Boston, USA, with an avid interest in skincare. He embarked on a passionate investigation into what skincare is available on the market today and whether it delivered on its promises. The overwhelming answer was no. False promises abound and skincare seldom, if ever, actually gives the results that one is looking for. Dr. Kingsley came to the conclusion that this was a direct result of a lack of real scientific research performed in creating the common products available commercially. Deeply committed to science, he felt there was too much hype and advertising and not enough analytical approach to skincare.
While he was carrying out his in-depth investigations and research, he met and became involved with other influential people who were currently researching Canadian Rainforest Glacial Clay. This miracle substance has unique properties and can only be found in one area of the Canadian central coast. The indigenous peoples of the area have known about, and have been using this clay for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments. Combined with the power of science, this ingredient has proven to be the wonder element Dr. Kingsley had been looking for.
Dr. Kingsley has travelled all over the world in search of the best ingredients to pair in harmony to create MKA by Dr. Kingsley products.
