Dermacia Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Dermacia is a foundation system that is designed to allow your skin to breathe. This is a product aimed at women who have had to choose between heavy make-up or healthy skin for years. Armed with a blend of natural ingredients and the Lycogel complex with LYCD, an ingredient proven to increase the amount of oxygen that reaches your skin, Dermacia claims to be a revolutionary product. Unlike other water-based products, Dermacia is a silica gel-based formula that has the special Lycogel complex that delivers a concentrated dose of oxygen to make your skin bright and illuminated.

Product Details

Dermacia is a full line of skin care products. Included in the professional collection are:

  • 2 Breathable Foundation - Light, Medium, Tan or Dark
  • 1 Breathable Cleanser
  • 1 Breathable Toner
  • 1 Breathable Face Moisturizer
  • Sponges
  • Instructional DVD
  • 2 Bonus Gifts - Breathable Moisture Spray and Professional Makeup Contouring Brush

The system starts with skin cleansing. The breathable cleanser is sulfate-free and is intended to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.

Following up the cleansing step is the "breathable toner." With algae and mushroom extracts, this toner is alcohol-free. Follow steps 1 and 2 with the daily moisturizer. The moisturizer is also the same gel based formula as the foundation and has an SPF 15 for sun protection.

The foundation and concealer finish off the regime.

The Good

  • This product used to be available only by prescription but is now available over the counter from certain stores and through the official website.
  • Product contains a moisturizer.
  • Website offers helpful contact info to respond to questions.

The Bad

  • The system is fairly complicated. As many busy people know, the more steps involved in a beauty regime, the less likely one is going to keep it up.
  • Buying the products individually gets pricey. For one bottle of the foundation it will set you back $48.00, and this doesn't include shipping.
  • The wide range of Dermacia products makes us question if they have put a full course of research and development into each item, or if this company may have spread themselves a bit too thin.
  • We would like to see an more comprehensive list of ingredients for all products in order to verity this line's "all natural" claims.

The Bottom Line

Any woman with problems such as rosacea, acne, and uneven skin tone may benefit from using this system. However, if you're looking for a real anti-aging solution, you may be able to find one with more proven, proprietary active ingredients. Also, this is a highly intensive regimen, requiring multiple products and different application procedures. While their all-natural philosophy is admirable and probably effective, it is doubtful that it will render any miracles. Instead, look for a product that has a heavily researched and verifiable patented formulation. If you'd rather keep your skin care ritual simple, Dermacia is probably not the line for you.

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2010: Hydroxatone

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Hydroxatone is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid. No other formula combines these ingredients into one cream, and the Hydroxatone® website has testimonials from customers who have seen results. Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® are two clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptides, while SPF provides sun protection and Hyuloronic Acid penetrates tissue to keep skin young and supple. Clinical data that a formula works says it all, and the Hydroxatone® website provides ample proof.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
