Take your skin care to new heights with potent, patent-pending Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® boosters. Each booster is comprised of a highly potent dose of scientifically acclaimed skin care ingredients. These easy-to-incorporate formulas are specially designed to beautifully complement your current skin care routine.
Discover two new Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® boosters.
EXPLORE ALL FOUR
The Ingredient Boost
A heroic antioxidant widely recognized for its ability to fight the visible signs of skin aging, high-concentration vitamin C works around the clock for your skin (when applied morning and night as directed).
Resveratrol
Similar to vitamin C, resveratrol is a highly potent antioxidant valued not only for its ability to fight visible signs of skin aging but also protect the skin’s surface.
Skin-restoring acetyl hexapeptide-8 is a special peptide designed to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

BOOST HYDRATION WITH DUAL-ACTION HYALURONIC ACID.
Savor each drop of these powerhouse hydrators in one skin-loving formula. When your skin’s moisture is out of balance, its barrier can become compromised. Support skin’s barrier with Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® HA + Ceramide Hydrator, a unique blend that targets three critical hydration factors.
The Ingredient Boost
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) (sodium hyaluronate)
An increasingly popular powerhouse humectant, hyaluronic acid is known to bind more than 1,000 times its weight in water, meaning it holds onto water molecules to keep skin looking plump and healthy.
Two forms of hyaluronic acid take a dual-action approach to combating dry skin.
As a critical component of the stratum corneum, ceramide is essential for the retention of skin moisture.
Verbena Officinalis Extract (impacts natural moisturizing factor or NMF)
Increased natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is not only known to improve skin hydration but also skin barrier function – a necessity when it comes to protecting your body from environmental stressors and water loss.
Our chosen plant extract (verbena officinalis) supports skin’s natural production of NMF. NMF components absorb water from the atmosphere and combine with their own water content, allowing the outermost layers of the stratum corneum to stay hydrated despite external factors.
BOOST BRIGHTNESS WITH B3.
Incorporate these dermatology-inspired ingredients to visibly diminish dark spots. Factors like hormones, aging and pollution can trigger an irregular production of melanin that causes uneven skin tone. Restore your skin’s glowing glory with this triple-threat booster.
The Ingredient Boost
A high-potency antioxidant, ferulic acid acts like a shield to help defend against external factors that may lead to skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation).
Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
One of the best sources of vitamin B3, niacinamide is an essential nutrient that’s been well-recognized globally as a brightening superpower.
Navy Bean Extract (vegetable amino acids)
Mary Kay discovered navy bean’s effect on brightening efficacy and patented a proprietary ingredient technology on this discovery.

TARGET TEXTURE WITH DUAL ACIDS.
Smooth skin and accelerate its renewal with a dynamic, dual-acid boost. As we age, skin cell turnover slows, and that can lead to dull, rough skin. Exfoliation is a must to achieve and maintain smoothness. Gently dissolve dead skin cells while replenishing radiance with this skin routine upgrade.
The Ingredient Boost
Poly-Hydroxy Acid (PHA) (gluconolactone)
The second generation of hydroxy acid technology, PHA has a larger molecular size than alpha-hydroxy acid, meaning it works exclusively on the surface to deliver gentle yet effective exfoliation.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) (glycolic acid)
With a much smaller molecular size compared to PHA, AHA easily works through the top surface layers of the skin to accelerate deeper exfoliation.
Skin-replenishing glycerin, a natural compound derived from vegetables, serves as the perfect complement to the powerful pairing of two exfoliating hydroxy acids.

Like a wellness shot for your skin, these dermocosmetic treatments combine concentrated doses of some of science’s most acclaimed ingredients in order to unleash skin’s full potential with every precious drop.

8 Weeks to Train Your Skin
In this results-focused set, pure, high-concentration retinol pairs wonderfully with a nourishing facial milk
that’s perfect for those incorporating this powerful ingredient into their routine for the first time. Mary Kay has even designed
an 8-week retinization protocol to help minimize potential discomfort that may occur when you first start using pure retinol at
0.5% concentration.
Weeks 1 + 2: Apply Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Retinol 0.5 one night per week, diluted with Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Calm + Restore Facial Milk.
Weeks 3 + 4: Apply Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Retinol 0.5 one night per week, followed by Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Calm + Restore Facial Milk.
Weeks 5 + 6: Apply Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Retinol 0.5 two nights per week, followed by Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Calm + Restore Facial Milk.
Weeks 7 + 8: Apply Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Retinol 0. 5 three to five times per week, followed by Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Calm + Restore Facial Milk.
Use Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® HA + Ceramide Hydrator during the above retinization process to deliver extra moisture to your skin, offsetting any potential increased dryness. Continue using the booster if added hydration is one of your skin goals.
After you’ve completed the retinization process, you can amplify your results by adding Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® C + Resveratrol Line-Reducer to your morning routine, or by alternating evening application with Mary KayClinical Solutions® Retinol 0.5. Or you can choose to incorporate Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Ferulic + Niacinamide Brightener withMary Kay Clinical Solutions® HA + Ceramide Hydrator.
If your goal is to target texture, see results with Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® PHA + AHA Resurfacer. It is not recommended for you to use Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Retinol 0.5 with this booster.
Eight Weeks to Amazing
Mary Kay Clinical Solutions™ Retinol 0.5 takes the offensive against wrinkles, discoloration and loss of firmness and delivers visible improvement. Plus, in an eight-week independent clinical study, 100% of women experienced an increase in skin smoothness and in skin radiance.2
