Dermatologist Dr. Manjula Jegasothy has identified a biological cause for crepey skin known as fibroblast failure. According to Dr. Jegasothy, the cells responsible for skin firmness begin to fail around age 45, leading to thin, weak skin on the arms, neck, and hands.

Dr. Jegasothy, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of the Miami Skin Institute, stated that most skincare products only treat surface symptoms like dryness. Her research, which she noted included studies from Nature Journal and the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, suggests that skin thinning occurs when fibroblasts stop producing collagen and elastin and begin destroying existing tissue.

To address this, Dr. Jegasothy developed MiamiMD’s Advanced Crepe Fix. The formula uses Ribose, which she describes as a natural sugar that acts as fuel for fibroblasts. To ensure the Ribose reaches the dermis, the formula includes Fractionated Coconut Oil and Grapeseed Oil to aid absorption.

The treatment involves a two-minute morning application on damp skin. Dr. Jegasothy stated that the formula is paraben-free, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free. She has recommended the product to hundreds of patients, stating that over 250,000 women have used the formula.

MiamiMD offers Advanced Crepe Fix directly to consumers through its website. Dr. Jegasothy provides a 60-day money-back guarantee for the product. According to a notice from Tight Skin Today, readers may be eligible for a discount of up to 33%, reducing the price to as low as $36 per bottle when purchasing a 6-month supply.
