Dermagen – Rejuvenating Serum

I am always partial to a product whose first ingredient is aloe vera rather than water and this one ticks that box. It’s an herbal, almost gel textured serum that disperses easily and rapidly into the skin leaving a cool, non-tacky finish that is refreshed and calm. I experienced no heat or ruddiness when I applied it as often happens when I use actives and it played really well with other moisturisers and sunscreams layered on top. This serum made a noticeable difference to my skin texture in a short time and is one of few I’ve been able to use without it causing a Rosacea flare up. It’s packed with amazing ingredients, including blue tansy and chamomile, marine peptides, cloudberry and black raspberry.

The thing I found most compelling was the use of Manuka Oil versus Manuka Honey. I didn’t know anything about harvesting Manuka Honey (or Oil) and its impact on the local bee populations. It’s great that they’re also produced in Australia and that they contribute to businesses working on climate change. Their work with people suffering topical steroid withdrawal is commendable as well. It’s a little talked about issue but has a huge impact on the sufferer’s life, so kudos to them.
