It's no secret that methylene blue has become the latest most popular addition to people’s skincare routine for its ability to heal and improve skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea. But with tons of options emerging, and several key factors to consider to ensure its effectiveness and safety, it can be quite confusing! So, we asked our team to weigh in on things to look for while you’re shopping methylene blue products

Here’s the top 3 things they said:

1. Concentration of Methylene Blue: The concentration of methylene blue in the serum is crucial for its efficacy. Methylene blue is a potent antioxidant and has been shown to have various benefits for the skin, including reducing oxidative stress, promoting collagen production, and improving skin texture. Look for serums with a clinically relevant concentration of methylene blue, typically between 0.8% to 1%. 7’s Methylene Blue Serum contains roughly 600mg’s of Pure Prescription Grade Methylene Blue, a 1% concentration, which means it’s the upmost highest quality and is an extremely potent and healing formula.
2. Additional Active Ingredients: Methylene blue face serums are best when they contain other active ingredients that complement its effects and enhance overall skincare benefits. Look for serums that include ingredients like Dead Sea Minerals for energizing cells and activating the repair process, CoQ10 for neutralizing free radicals and preventing oxidative stress, and Dragon’s Blood for a pro-collagen effect on the skin. These additional ingredients can amplify the benefits of methylene blue and address specific skin concerns ranging from eczema to acne..
3. Quality and Purity of Methylene Blue: Pay attention to the formulation of the serum and opt for products that are formulated with high-quality ingredients and free from potentially harmful additives like parabens, sulfates, synthetic acids, synthetic alcohols, and artificial fragrances. And perhaps the most important criteria is to make sure they are using a pharmaceutical grade methylene blue! USP grade is the standard to look for.

By considering these factors, you can select a methylene blue face serum that meets your skincare needs and delivers results while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.

Methylene Blue has many amazing benefits and the results people see for treating their acne, eczema, etc. are fantastic, but there is just one problem. Methylene Blue is a man made substance.

Just because something is man made, doesn’t mean it’s inherently wrong, but if we can find substances in nature that can heal as well or better than synthetic molecules we are always going to go the way of nature.

We spent YEARS developing a combination of 100% natural ingredients that work even better than Methylene Blue, including royal jelly (the special food bees make for their queen), dead sea minerals, tallow, and other extremely healing ingredients.

If you were looking to use Methylene Blue to treat a skin condition or as a retinol alternative, we hear you. Try an all natural alternative instead like our Miracle Routine. No need for the blue hue.
