MBR - Medical Beauty Research® - FAQ
What is the meaning of MBR abbreviation?
The abbreviation MBR stands for Medical Beauty Research ®. The German specialist cosmetics company MBR, based in Bad Schlema, has been supplying its high-quality high-end concept skincare since 2001.
What does MBR Medical Beauty Research ® stand for?
MBR Medical Beauty Research ® is skin care on the frontier of medicine. MBR products start where normal skin care ends. This distinguishes MBR high-end concept care from anything that has come before in cosmetics.
The first German high-tech premium brand in the cosmetics sector is the result of intensive research by leading dermatologists and aesthetic physicians. The aim was to develop anti-ageing preparations with the highest possible concentration of active ingredients while at the same time ensuring optimal skin compatibility.
Which company manufactures MBR?
MBR has been headquartered in the state-approved spa town of Bad Schlema since 2000. The company based there, knows exactly how to successfully “connect the past with the future”.
Cosmetics from MBR are associated with innovation as well as tradition, efficacy, compatibility, functionality, reliability and durability.
MBR is unique, indispensable, sustainable and individual.
The global active principle of all MBR products creates a multitude of epidermal, dermal and cosmetic effects, which only in combination make up the perfection of this extraordinary brand.
It is part of MBR’s philosophy as a German TÜV-certified company to use only the best active ingredients with the highest possible concentration with optimal skin compatibility, strictly according to these guidelines. In short: MBR is innovative-sustainable skin care made in Germany. For all skin types, for every situation.
Why is MBR Medical Beauty Research ® so high quality?
MBR Medical Beauty Research®, skin care on the frontier of medicine, starts where normal skin care ends.
MBR is the result of intensive cosmetic research focused on skin aging and anti-aging.
The products were and are developed in cooperation with recognized experts in the fields of
- Plastic surgery and dermatology
- Biochemistry
- Toxicology and microbiology
- and formulation technology
The focus on research and development inevitably led to the product range being focused on the core of problem solutions.
During development, considerations about the cost of formulations do not play a role in principle. The participants in the MBR development team are completely free to decide which combination of active ingredients and which formulation variant they want to use.
In this way, even complex and highly synergetic principles can be realized, which are probably unique in this form worldwide. The goal is always to achieve “the best possible”.
In addition, highly efficient treatment methods are taught in special training courses (training to become a dermaceutic therapist), which respond individually to the needs of the customer.
What is the MBR care principle?
For MBR, the reliability of the targeted results has top priority. Here, the degree of penetration, the concentration and the residence time of the active molecules play a decisive role. That’s why MBR sums up the sum of its mechanisms of action with a simple but effective principle: Open, Supply, Close
The “Open” Principle
The cornerstone of all considerations regarding our preparations is clarification of the question of the reliability with which the desired dermocosmetic results can be achieved. Here, the degree of penetration of the active molecules often plays a decisive role.
In particular, peptides, vitamins or fractions of macromolecules can only develop their full performance under optimal conditions – namely after penetration into the uppermost skin layer.
To ensure this, special attention was paid to the MBR opening process, i.e. the preparation of the top layer of skin for the subsequent active ingredient preparations.
The “Supply” Principle
The truly exclusive aspect of MBR’s “supply” principle is that we can draw on global resources at any time through the continuous development of our products, and replace one or more building blocks with the latest generation of active ingredients if this brings advantages for product efficacy.
The MBR user thus continuously participates in a sensationally accelerated, cosmetological further development, mostly without even noticing the slightest thing about it.
Instead of waiting many years for relaunches of existing lines, MBR customers can always be sure of being directly involved in the latest research.
Experts recognize the MBR program of “Constant Progress Development” (CPD) by the detail that the ingredient information was applied via variable label and not via the actual printing of the packaging material. Only in this way can the development results really be implemented in the shortest possible time.
While most manufacturers have to choose one or the other anti-aging strategy, MBR offers the skin a whole bundle of concentrated measures in the “supply – phase” of its products:
- DNA protection
- Improvement of cell longevity and high quality regeneration of cells, stabilization of dermo-epidermal interlocking up to physical smoothing of wrinkles.
- All exclusive methods that currently exist.
The principle of “closing
Actually, the principle of “closing” always includes a component of supplying, but the details would go too far at this point.
Special messenger substances such as cytokines, matrikines and phytohormones stimulate the epidermis to function in a qualitatively balanced and optimal way in order to perfect the effect of the MBR supply preparations.
But MBR also does not leave the selection of the actual care base of the emulsions to chance, but uses combinations of exquisite lipids, intensively effective moisturizing factors and sustainable protective substances that are specially tailored to the skin type.
This is the only way to achieve the visible improvement in skin structure that is so typical of MBR products.
For which skin types is MBR made?
Is it possible to coordinate the care products with each other?
Yes, MBR® care products are coordinated with each other. Thus, you can easily connect them with each other. For MBR, the reliability of the targeted results has top priority. Here, the degree of penetration, the concentration and the residence time of the active molecules play a decisive role. Therefore, MBR brings the sum of the mechanisms of action to the point with a simple but effective principle: Open. Supply. Close.
Does MBR also offer suncare products?
Dermatologists demand an appropriate approach to the sun and effective products that offer safety and multiactive care – even in everyday life. MBR Medical Beauty Research ® has taken this demand into account and developed a high-tech sun protection care. The sun protection care with the innovative MBR SUN GUIDE SYSTEM offers the right protection for every skin type according to the latest findings from medicine and biotechnology. MBR offers medical sun care products with different protection levels. After Sun products, especially popular are the After Sun Cream Mask and the Moisture Balancer “After Sun Body”.
Which MBR body lotion is suitable for redness, skin irritation and itching?
ModukineTM Body Lotion is an excellent, soothing protective lotion against irritation that relieves unpleasant effects of the skin, reduces itching and prevents skin irritation.
MBR uses ModukineTM – a unique complex of active ingredients to restore barrier function. The biological milk peptide, consisting of at least 10 amino acids, repairs the damaged lipid barrier and regulates the cornification process of atopic skin. The products with the active ingredient complex ModukineTMare suitable for all skin types and counteract inflammatory processes in the skin at the cellular level. The itching and redness of stressed skin are reduced, the lipid barrier and normal skin function are restored.
Does MBR also have products for men?
Yes, MBR has a wide range of care products designed specifically for the needs of men’s skin. “Mens Skincare” is a central part of MBR care products. Because: More and more men are discovering the possibilities of cosmetics for themselves and are coming to the conclusion that the lines and wrinkles on the face do not necessarily make you more interesting, but simply older. A well-groomed appearance is trendy and makes you successful in interaction with your opposite.

The face is the main feature of a person, it makes the person an individual, carries the characteristic features of the personality to the outside, reflects emotions and is the reflection of the attitude to life. It tells its own and very personal life story.

MSB - My Special Beauty® - FAQ
What is the meaning of MSB ® abbreviation?
MSB® stands for Medical Spirit of Beauty. With MSB – my special beauty– you care for your largest organ in a clever and targeted way, because MSB cosmetics is skin care that sets new standards.
The product range in the MSB Cosmetics Shop includes three categories: basic care, special care and finishing care. With this professional cosmetics for home you specifically meet the individual care needs of your skin.
For which skin needs does MSB® Cosmeceuticals have the right care products?
MSB cosmetics offers you seven active ingredient serums for the seven most important skin needs:
- Skin dryness
- Skin redness (irritation)
- Pigment spots and shifts
- Impurities (acne)
- Lines and wrinkles
- Loss of elasticity
- Anti-Ageing
Why are MSB care products so effective?
MSB Cosmeceuticals®products contain special, therapeutically active ingredients in special concentrations that significantly improve your skin’s appearance when used consistently. Through intensive research by leading developers, MSB cosmeticsare more effective than conventional cosmetic care products. The latest findings from skin research are always incorporated into the further development of MSB products. The highest quality and greatest possible safety are guaranteed. When using MSB Cosmeceuticals®, a visible immediate effect occurs due to the highly effective ingredients. You can also satisfy particularly complex demands of your skin at home with MSB professional cosmetics, because the effective principle of action leaves nothing to be desired.
Why are fruit acids such an important ingredient in MSB® Cosmeceuticals products?
For various skin conditions, fruit acids are ideal skin care ingredients because they contain both keratolytic and keratoplastic substances. This means that MSB products with organic fruit acids have, on the one hand, a softening and dissolving effect against cornification and dead skin cells. On the other hand, they also support the formation of new skin cells. The fruit acids are very effective and make a decisive contribution to the care of the top layers of the skin. Mechanical peels with abrasive particles are widely used, but they severely damage the facial skin and cause micro-injuries. MSB cosmetics with fruit acids, on the other hand, exfoliate the skin very finely and mildly on the surface, without any great risk of irritation.
Fruit acids from MSB support the effective treatment of:
- fine lines
- skin that lost elasticity
- dull, pale and rough skin texture
- light-related pigment spots
- different forms of acne
- superficial skin scars
- impure and coarse-pored skin
How do the three MSB® categories Basic Care, Special Care and Final Care differ?
The basic care of MSB cosmetics begins with a thorough facial cleansing. This removes sebum, impurities and make-up. Cleansing is the cornerstone for the following care, because first the skin must be freedfrom everything that prevents it from breathing freely. Only when dead skin cells and cornification have been specifically loosened and removed can the skin care products be absorbed more easily and better. Thus, after a thorough cleansing of the face, the positive effect of the MSB special and final care is also enhanced. Special care includes serums to prevent wrinkles for mature skin, fresh cream masks or intensively soothing and moisturizing gels for dry facial skin. The final care protects the skin from external influences with an invisible, smooth protective film.
You can order all products here directly in the muse BEAUTY shop.
Which MSB product suits my skin?
The sophisticated care system solves the different and complex requirements for perfect skin care in a simple but effective way. MSB offers customized products to restore and maintain beautiful, attractive skin.
The skin can be effectively cared for from the basic products such as the fruit acids, to the special products that act specifically on the care target, to the final care products. MSB® offers a range of professional facial care products designed specifically for the most important skin needs:

Every skin has different needs. With our 7 professional active ingredient serums, in combination with the fruit acids, MSB® covers covers a wide range of applications.
7 active ingredient serums for the 7 most important skin needs:
• Skin dryness
• Skin redness (irritation)
• Pigment spots and pigment changes
• Impurities (acne)
• Lines and wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity
• Anti-Aging
Does MSB Cosmeceuticals® also help against wrinkles and lines?
The reasons for the development of wrinkles are various. The main cause is natural aging. With advancing age, the skin produces less collagen as well as elastin, loses elasticity and the renewal of cells slows down. We cannot stop these processes, but only slow them down with good skincare. Certain behaviors and environmental factors can also cause the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They gradually grow in size and eventually can no longer be overlooked. How do wrinkles develop now and how can you counteract this process with appropriate care!
How do lines and wrinkles develop?
The following habits and influences can cause wrinkles:
- Dry skin
- Lack of skincare
- Solarium visits
- Smoking
- Muscle motions
- Pollution
Sunlight and smoking have the greatest influence on the “visible age of the skin”. Pollution also leaves its mark. They cause so-called oxidation processes on the skin, resulting in the formation of free radicals and inflammatory factors that lead to accelerated skin aging. Another cause is the “natural aging process” of the skin, which is always genetically influenced. From the mid-thirties onwards, cell renewal slows down more and more, the skin regenerates more slowly and the blood supply becomes poorer.
Proper and quality skin care is an essential part of preventing wrinkles. MSB’s products are divided into different categories so that you can see at first glance which item is suitable for which purpose. To meet the needs of your skin, we recommend the following care program:
Basic care
A good skin care routine starts with a deep cleansing of the skin. Use the Quick & Clean Eye Make-up Removeror the Cleanser 2+ for this purpose. They gently and reliably cleanse the skin of all deposits. Peeling is worthwhile at regular intervals, especially the Natural Peel medor also the Glyco Peel med. Both act with fruit acid.
Special care
No matter what care was used as a base, you can now proceed with a nourishing serum. We recommend Sensitive Hydro Gel Serum, it smoothes and firms the skin, restoring its balance. For particular care, the set of Alpha-Trophox Liquid Mask is suitable. The gentle fleece masks provide a flawless complexion and unleash an immediate skin-smoothing, firming effect. You can also get rid of dark circles under your eyes.
Final care
The completion of the daily care ritual is a cream ideally suited to the specific skin type. Dry skin needs moisture, the Face Cream and also the Extra Rich Face Cream are excellent for this. If you tend to have sensitive skin, we recommend Sensitive Cream for sensitive skin. It has a calming effect, moisturizes and stimulates the natural regeneration process. Eyes and lips you can treat with MSB Eye Creamand MSB Lip Booster.
Sun care
In addition to the daily routine, you can apply a protective suncream to finish off with a good sunscreen. Sun Protection Cream SPF 50is an ideal match for MSB After Sun Face, which you can apply in the evening after a sunny day.
Which MSB® products help with impurities and acne?
The skin is our largest organ and, along with the liver, kidneys and intestines, is one of the largest detoxification organs in the human body. If the body is affected by toxins, this is also noticeable on the skin. The so-called slag substances are excreted via the sebaceous glands, where they promote the development of pimples and blackheads.
When the sebaceous glands of the skin produce excessive amounts of sebum and clog the hair follicles, when impurities such as dirt, grease, or sweat particles enter the skin, this can trigger small inflammations in the skin, causing unsightly pimples.
Sun, creams with high fat content and medicines can cause pimples. Often it is external factors, such as unhealthy diet, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, lack of sleep or psychological stress, which promote the development of skin blemishes.
Genetic predisposition plays a major role in the development of acne. Acne is a skin condition that goes beyond blemishes and requires special treatment or skin care. Good results can be achieved with regular cosmetic treatments. However, those who permanently suffer from skin blemishes that are highly inflamed should seek treatment from a specialist.
Counterproductive is also the use of creams rich in fat, which additionally clog the pores. Therefore, it is better to use a light, moisturizing cream. To further improve the appearance of the skin, soothing masks can also help.
MSB® offers you professional facial care products for this purpose – from facial cleansing and active ingredient serums to closing care.
How do MSB® care products help with pigment spots?
Pigment spots or disorders are color changes of the skin that can occur in various parts of the body. But it is especially on visible parts of the body, such as the face, that they bother sufferers the most. As different as the types of pigmentary disorders are, so are the factors that cause them. Mostly pigment spots form due to a disturbed production of pigment (melanin) in the skin cells, due to sun exposure or diseases.
Melanin is a color pigment produced by the body that gives skin, hair and eyes their individual color tone. It also protects from harmful UV rays and from heat.
If melanin is not produced locally or is produced excessively, a so-called pigment disorder occurs. White (depigmentation) or darker spots (hyperpigmentation) appear on the skin.
Pigmentation disorders can be genetic or hormonal, but can also be caused by external influences. As a rule, pigment spots are harmless and do not need to be treated. Mostly this is done “only” for aesthetic reasons. Nevertheless, it should be clarified whether it is a purely cosmetic problem.
In the case of both hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, it is advisable to protect the skin from UV rays. It is therefore particularly important for this skin type to consistently use sun careproducts, preferably with a medium to high sun protection factor.
In addition, MSB ® offers you professional facial care products for this area as well – from facial cleansing and active ingredient serums to final care.
Skin redness and irritation: Does MSB® have care products for sensitive skin in its range?
The boundaries between dry and sensitive skin are often fluid. Sensitive, delicate skin often lacksmoisture and natural, protective fatty acids.
The epidermis and the protective acid barrier of the skin normally ensure that external influences cannot harm it much. Whether it’s heat, cold, wind, stress or the use of the wrong skin care products, sensitive skin usually reacts more quickly with irritation, inflammation or allergic reactions. If the natural protective barrier is not intact or irritation becomes excessive, the skin loses its balance and itching, redness, burning, etc. occur.
How strongly the skin reacts to external stimuli varies and strongly depends on the skin type. If it is sensitive by nature, the reactions to it are correspondingly more frequent and more intense. Therefore, this skin type needs special attention and especially the right care.
The aim of care for sensitive, reddened skin should be to soothe the skin and permanently strengthen its natural protective barrier. Facial care specially designed for sensitive skin often contains soothing active ingredients.
Spezielle Wirkstoffseren mit besonders hoher Wirkstoffkonzentration zeichnen sich durch eine leichte Textur aus, wodurch das Konzentrat auch in tiefere Hautschichten vordringen kann. Ideal, therefore, to soothe and moisturize sensitive skin.
MSB® offers you professional facial care products especially for sensitive, delicate skin – from facial cleansing to active ingredient serums and closing care.
What care products does MSB® offer for skin dryness?
Our skin is the “Mirror of our soul”. Healthy, supple skin is a sign that we are well and feel good in our skin. Dry skin, on the other hand, looks pale and lackluster, leaving an unpleasant feeling of tightness. It contracts like parchment-like and becomes rough. Especially in the face, wrinkles start to develop earlier.
Dry skin can have many different causes
On the one hand, the reason could be genetic, on the other hand, everyday situations can also be the reason. Incorrect grooming habits such as lack of or excessive personal hygiene affect the skin. Cold or heat, sun and UV radiation weaken the skin barrier function and accelerate the loss of moisture and lipids. Irritants such as chemical substances found in cleaning agents and detergents, for example, directly affect the surface of the skin.
Internal influences also cause the skin to become dry. Insufficient hydration, strong sweating, smoking, alcohol, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, stress or hormonal changes affect the skin. The natural aging process of the skin also plays a role.
In general, particularly rich creams that continuously moisturize, soothe and nourish the skin are suitable for the care of dry skin.
MSB® offers you professional facial care products for this purpose – from facial cleansing and active ingredient serums to finishing care.
What anti-aging products does MSB Cosmeceuticals offer?
Wrinkle-free, look young forever – that’s what almost everyone wants. It starts imperceptibly at first, but inexorably, and one day the consequences can no longer be overlooked: Skin aging leaves its mark on the face. Already around the age of 30, the skin begins to age and visibly change in the process.
Essentially, this process depends on two factors: the individual, genetic predisposition and the exposure of the skin to external factors such as UV rays and lifestyle habits. Due to this, changes in skin structure and function are eventually visible and noticeable externally. The skin is peeling, lacking and fragile, in addition to lines and wrinkles. Because theelastic fibers begin to deteriorate, the youthful elasticity is lost. Many of these factors we can influence.
No effective anti-aging skin care works without thorough cleansing and proper exfoliation. If the facial skin is gently exfoliated several times a week with e.g. fruit acid or peelings, this ensures free pores and a more beautiful skin appearance. Those who are prone to redness should rather use an enzymatic peeling. It removes old skin cells and the valuable, highly concentrated ingredients of serums can now better infiltrate the lower layers of the skin. Finally, apply a care cream, preferably with a medium to high sun protection factor, as UV protectionis the most effective method of permanently preventing wrinkles.
MSB® offers you professional facial care products for this purpose – from facial cleansing and active ingredient serums to closing care.

LACERA Scented candles - FAQ
What exactly is LACERA Berlin?
LACERA is a Berlin-based startup company that produces its own vegan and animal-free scented candles made of wax (Italian: lacera). The scented candles are also free of toxic parafin. Very practical: the colorful glass containers made of borosilicate can later also be used as drinking glasses. Or you can simply put a tea light inside.
What does LACERA stand for?
Lacera is the Italian word for wax.
What are LACERA scented candles made of?
LACERA scented candles are handmade in Berlin in self-production. Scented candles from LACERA Berlin are free of toxic parafin, vegan and cruelty-free. The ecological premium soya-coconut wax blend impresses with a beautiful silky-matte surface. The wick used, which is made of an organic cotton-paper blend, is low in soot. The candles are handmade in Berlin using the “cold pour” principle, which guarantees a high fragrance content. In the cold pour principle, the wax is given a long time after liquefaction to cool down to a certain temperature. Only then does the LACERA team mix in the fragrance oils by hand.
LACERA scented candles therefore exude a pleasant fragrance even without a burning wick (the high-quality oil essences all come from Europe). The design of the specially developed glass container is inspired by the simplicity of the Bauhaus style. The great thing is that after the candle has burned down, the glass container can be reused as a stylish drinking glass or tea light container.
How are the LACERA scented candles made?
LACERA candles are made by hand in a studio in Berlin. After a two-week rest period, it then leaves the capital for the rest of the world.
Are LACERA scented candles vegan?
Yes, LACERA not only avoids the use of plastic in production, but also relies on purely vegan items through and through.
How do I burn a LACERA scented candle correctly?
Proper burning from the beginning ensures that your scented candle burns cleanly until the end. When lighting your LACERA scented candle for the first time, make sure that the top wax layer liquefies completely. In the long run, this prevents the formation of rings or a wax cavity.
How to take care of the wick?
Each time you light your LACERA scented candle, trim the wick to about 5mm. This prevents uneven burning and wick dripping and flaring.
Also, keep the wax free of wick trimmings, dust and dirt. Once the candle has cooled, use the glass lid as a dust cover.
How long does a LACERA scented candle burn?
The burning time is approximately 50 hours. Let your candle burn for 2 to 3 hours once you have lit it. This causes the wax to burn evenly. Never leave a burning scented candle unattended.
Practical: you can let LACERA candles burn completely. Once the wick is used up, the scented candle can no longer be lit and you can clean and reuse the glass container.
