Dynamic Anti-Aging: The Super Fruits Prevention Duo Kit


In a time when UV radiation is a growing concern for your skin’s daily health, there’s a super pair of skincare products who are ready to fight back. The Super Fruits Prevention Serum and Moisturizer Cream are a powerful team! Together they can stop free radicals in their tracks and combat the visible signs of aging, protecting the youthful vitality of your skin.

Who is at Risk of UV-Related Skin Damage?

Unfortunately, anyone who is regularly exposed to sunlight encounters UV rays. The more often you’re exposed to the damaging effects of UV rays, the more your chances of developing skin cancer rise. If you live in a sunny climate, your risk of long-term exposure to UV rays leaves you more likely to sustain damage to the genetic DNA that keep your skin cells healthy and growing.

Skin damage is a short-term effect of excess UV ray exposure. You may know it as the common sunburn or tan. Over time, these seemingly harmless effects can create long-term exposure hazards such as wrinkles, prematurely aged skin, pre-cancerous signs of rough ketosis patches, and dark “liver spots” or “age spots”.

How Does It Work?

The Super Fruits Prevention Duo works together to capture the free radicals which result from UV exposure before they have a chance to harm your skin. These fruits are so full of antioxidants that six of them working together have a dramatic effect on your skin’s health.

What’s in the Kit?

This powerful pair get their strength from the natural antioxidants found in fruits such as pomegranate, acai, gogi, coffee berry, and mangosteen.

Super Fruits Prevention Serum

This mighty serum primes your skin for moisture with many powerful antioxidant ingredients.

One of its key ingredients is coffee berry extract, which has been shown to lessen the effects of long-term or frequent exposure to UV rays. Coffee berry extract increases your skin’s collagen and elastin production, infusing your skin with vital elasticity. It contains caffeine, which is an effective treatment to lessen the appearance of crow’s feet.

Acai berry is full of polyphenols which halt the production of cancerous skin cells, and fights free radicals with its powerful antioxidants.

Noni fruit is a tropical super fruit. South Pacific cultures have known about its amazing healing powers for thousands of years. It contains a high concentration of selenium, which promotes firmer and more elastic skin.


Super Fruits Prevention Moisturizer Cream

This intensive moisturizer seals in the effects of the serum and boosts your skin’s protection against the aging effects of UV rays even more.

The jojoba oil in this moisturizer actually has natural sunscreen properties. When used alone, it actually has an SPF of 4. It is not recommended for use by itself as a sunscreen, but it is incredibly moisturizing for dry skin which makes it a popular ingredient in skincare and haircare products.

Coenzyme Q10 is another powerhouse ingredient. It repairs and protects your skin with its antioxidant properties, protecting you from damaging UV light.

Benefits of Vitamin C in Skincare



Vitamin C skincare provides potent antioxidant protection from damaging free radicals within the environment that cause premature aging. These environmental factors include: sun-damage, pollution, and oxygen. Vitamin C skincare can provide a range of anti-aging benefits which include:

  • Boosts collagen production
  • Reduces age and brown spots
  • Soothes irritation and inflammation
  • Treats discoloration from past acne
  • Boosts your skin’s defense against UV rays


One of the most effective forms of Vitamin C that  is within Vitamin C skincare products is L-ascorbic acid. When combined with other antioxidant based products or when used alone in high concentrations of 20% or above can help firm the skin and treat the  most stubborn skin conditions such as signs of sun-damage and old acne blemishes. Other forms of effective Vitamin C that are found in Vitamin C skincare are: sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate, retinyl ascorbate, tetrehexyldecyl ascorbate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. The stability of Vitamin C products are vulnerable when exposed to both air and light, therefore the type of packaging of these products is very important. You will want to make sure that these products are packaged in air-tight, non-transparent dispensers.

With years of research behind Vitamin C skincare, it is proven to help you achieve healthy radiant skin. Lower percentages of Vitamin C are also effective with providing anti-aging benefits when infused with products that repair and nourish the skin. To gain the most optimal results, make sure a Sun Protection Factor is included with your daily skincare regime to enhance the ability of Vitamin C nourishment. Vitamin C skincare is a powerful essential that should be included in the skincare arsenal for all skin types.

Daily Sunscreen Use Proven to Reduce Signs of Premature Aging in Skin

A new study has determined that applying sunscreen every day can slow signs of aging, as well as dramatically reduce the risk of deadly skin cancer. The study has also shown that its never too late to begin the daily sunscreen routine to significantly lessen the signs of photoaging such as sun spots, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

"We now know that protecting yourself from skin cancer by using sunscreen has the added bonus of keeping you looking young." Dr. Adele Green, a professor at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research at the University of Queensland in Australia, told USA Today. "It has been a source of frustration for us that for some sections of the community, the sun-safe message does not seem to be getting through."

The study also tested whether or not the antioxidant beta-carotene also provide anti-aging benefits. This carotenoid has been shown to lower the risk of skin cancer. For the randomized-controlled trial, the researchers assigned 903 participants to one of four groups: Those who used broad-spectrum sunscreens daily and take 30 milligrams of beta-carotene, those who used daily sunscreen and took a placebo, those who took the beta-carotene but only used sunscreen periodically, and those who used sunscreen periodically and took a placebo. Everyone participating in the study were age 55 and under.

The two daily sunscreen groups used UVA/UVB blocking products with a SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher; they applied the product to their head, neck, arms, and hands each morning after bathing, and reapplied it every few hours. The other two groups applied sunscreen where and when they thought they needed it. The study groups were tracked for four and a half years, and used putty-like skin molds to document fine lines and wrinkles. They found that the groups using sunscreen every day showed 24 percent less skin photoaging than those who only applied it periodically. The results were the same regardless of age, so even the middle-aged participants benefited from regular sunscreen use. Results from the testing showed that the Beta Carotene had no benefit at all against the photo aging.  

In 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began allowing sunscreen manufacturers to claim that their products reduced the risk of skin cancer and skin aging if used as directed, as long they also advised people to take other precautions, like reapplying sunscreen at least every two hours (more often if you're sweating or swimming), avoiding sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, and broad-brimmed hats to shield the skin when possible. We now know that daily application of sunscreen provides both cancer prevention and age prevention, which is worth the few seconds it takes to apply it every morning.

End of summer skin care tips.

No matter how responsible you were about sun protection this summer, the chances are that your skin was exposed to UV rays more than usual. Even if you practiced responsible skin care and always used sun block or sunscreen, you still absorbed environmental damage from the sun. If you were less responsible, then you may have absorbed enough UV radiation to lead to age and sun spots in the future, premature wrinkles and even skin diseases. While you can’t travel back in time and stay out of the sun entirely you can help to undo some of the damage that carefree, relaxing summer days may have done to your skin.

Each episode of UV exposure that you experienced over the summer causes a surge in the level of free radicals in your system.  These free radical surges damaged your collagen, elastin or melanin—damage that cumulates and eventually results in older looking, damaged skin. Focus on a diet that’s rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. You may want to emphasize foods that are particularly high in antioxidants such as pomegranates, blueberries, acai, darker greens and even green tea. Getting stronger skin begins beneath the surface of the skin, so be sure to eat antioxidant rich foods and take antioxidant rich internal dietary supplements.

For the best results, though, you’ll want to combine an internal antioxidant diet with topical antioxidant skin care. MedPeel Superfruits Prevention skin care products are specifically developed to combine several powerful antioxidants and the power of Vitamin-C to topically boost your skin and restore a radiant, younger, healthy glow.  Promote better cell turnover and healthier skin with daily exfoliation products such as the Glycolic Micro Peel Scrub or Glycolic 10% Daily Exfoliator.
