Dermaglow Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Dermaglow® is the name of a line of skin care products manufactured by VitalScience Corp.®, a Canadian cosmeceutical company founded by pharmacist Calvin Davies. According to the VitalScience Corp.® website, Dermaglow products constitute 3 of the top 10 best selling skincare products, and as such, VitalScience Corp.® is the fastest-growing cosmeceutical company in Canada. Most well known of the Dermaglow® line is the range of Nuvectin products, which are peptide-containing creams, serums, and other therapeutic treatments that claim to “significantly reduce the signs of aging.” Like many of the recent entrants to the anti-wrinkle business, Dermaglow® is marketed as a safe alternative to toxic injections and other forms of invasive cosmetic surgery.

Product Details

Dermaglow offers products in six ranges: Nuvectin, which is a collection of standalone anti-wrinkle products, Nuvage, which is a therapy system of products intended to be used together, SensitiveRx which, as the name suggests, are products designed to be mild and gentle, RadianceRx, which are products based on microdermabrasion, Miracle, which are spa-derived exfoliators, and Lift & Firm, which are products that compete with other non-invasive Botox alternative products.

The Good

  • The Dermaglow Elements line of daily treatments contains an SPF 15 protectant.
  • Peptide-based treatments tend to be effective and widespread, however Dermaglow products contain proprietary, undisclosed formulations, and do not contain proven, widely known peptide complexes such as Argireline® or Matrixyl 3000®.
  • A wide range of products are available, each geared towards a specific condition or problem.

The Bad

  • While the Dermaglow® official website states that their products are “clinically proven,” there are no links to, or citations for, peer reviewed, journal published results of objective clinical trials.
  • Complete ingredient listings are unavailable from the Dermaglow website; as such it is unclear what the active ingredients are, which peptide complexes are being used, and in what concentration.
  • No single official US distributor of Dermaglow products makes it difficult to determine where to best acquire the product; VitalScience Corp. ® does not ship directly from its website to the USA.

The Bottom Line

While Dermaglow® products claim to treat an outstanding range of skin conditions, and even offer the “amazing side benefits” of aiding in the care of diabetes and boosting the body’s immune system, there is no concrete evidence available to support these claims. The lack of availability of the product in the US suggests that this relative latecomer to the skincare market may not yet be ready for consumption by demanding clientele. The lack of active ingredients that are widely thought to be effective is a further drawback. Although Dermaglow’s RadianceRx products are some of the only products currently on the market that offer an at-home, no-dermatologist-required means of microdermabrasion, there are few reviews that can be found. The lack of an inexpensive Starter Pack or other trial packs, combined with a return policy that does not allow the user to return any products that have been opened, or sampled, suggests that the user may wish to look elsewhere for more inviting alternatives.

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.

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.
