Vitamin A is a naturally occurring chemical compound that has been shown to improve the appearance of aging skin when applied topically. Many forms of Vitamin A exist, including Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Retinyl Palmitate, as well as the most potent and prescription
only form of the vitamin, Retinoic acid. While effective in visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles and in promoting the appearance of a more youthful complexion, all forms of Vitamin A can cause skin dryness and redness. DermaMedics Retinol Perfecting Serum contains a proprietary complex of Retinol, Retinol ester and Therosol®, which work together to produce a breakthrough serum that provides all of the appearance improvements in aging skin one expects from a Vitamin A skin care product but without the redness, irritation and dryness typically seen with Retinol products.
Are there any concerns I should know about using Retinol Perfecting Serum?
Skin Allergy/Sensitivity
As stated above, Retinol Perfecting Serum contains Therosol®III complex, a mixture of pure plant derived ingredients. These ingredients are found naturally in olives, cloves, and cinnamon and have an excellent safety profile. However, since one or more of these ingredients is also found in perfumes, someone who had previously become sensitized to a perfume that contains these ingredient may then be sensitized to this product. A sensitization reaction can occur very quickly and cause the skin to turn red and/or become itchy. This is why it is important to first test Retinol Perfecting Serum on a small area of your skin for at least 3 days before applying it to other areas of the face.

After cleansing skin with the Foaming Facial Cleanser, apply to dry, wrinkled and weathered areas of the face to combat dryness, uneven skin tone and rough texture. Because of the enhanced moisturizing properties of Overnight Repair Cream, it should be used on extremely dry areas of the face. Overnight Repair Cream may be used by itself or together with Restorative Serum. However, if both products are to be used on the same area of skin, Restorative Serum should be applied first and allowed to absorb completely before applying Overnight Repair Cream. For best results, use Overnight Repair Cream at least 3 times a week to restore softness to weathered skin. It is gentle enough to apply as often as necessary to soften and moisturize damaged skin. As with any skin care product, discontinue use if irritation develops.
Cyclomethicone (aka Cyclopentasiloxane) and Dimethiconol
A blend of 2 skin-friendly silicones that produce a greaseless, fast–absorbing, elegant feel when applied to the skin. They can quickly penetrate into the top-most layer of the skin (stratum corneum) where they help to reduce water loss, thus allowing the skin to retain moisture. This silicone blend is non-irritating and non-comedogenic.
Retinol Complex (Retinol + Retinol Palmitate)
There are several forms of Vitamin A, including retinol,retinaldehyde, and retinyl palmitate, that have been shown to improve the appearance of aging skin. However, skin irritation,
redness, and dryness have been common problems with all forms of Vitamin A used in skin care formulations, and these problems have limited product use. In Retinol Perfecting Serum, Retinol and its ester, Retinyl Palmitate are blended together with Therosol®, resulting in a unique serum that maximizes the appearance benefits of Vitamin A but without the redness and dryness caused by typical Retinol products.
Squalane, Jojoba Oil
These two oils are similar to oils produced in the skin but which decline with age. Both oils are excellent emollients for dry and damaged skin. Squalane and jojoba help prevent
water loss and help protect the skin’s surface barrier.
Therosol® Complex
This is a patent-pending mixture of two plant-derived antioxidants that have been shown to have beneficial effects on skin appearance. Not only do these two antioxidants combat the visible signs of aging, they have been clinically shown to improve skin texture and reduce visible redness.
