Overview

Dermaquest of Northern California is a line of skin care products that was founded in 1999. This brand claims to feature the “science of skin care,” and the official website states that they only incorporate “scientifically proven ingredients” into their products. Dermaquest can be broken down into six different categories of products, which are Masters (assist with hydration and collagen levels), Age Management (aim to reverse the signs of aging), Acne Management (contain ingredients to battle acne breakouts), Therapeutic Care (professional treatments for Rosacea, hyper pigmentation and intense moisture), Professional Care (require professional supervision) and Physician Level (these treatments can only be acquired through a physician).

Some of the primary active ingredients found in Dermaquest skin care products are Sodium Hyaluronate (helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles), Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Actifirm TS, Salicylic Acid (exfoliates dead skin cells to assist with acne blemishes), Glycolic Acid (natural exfoliator) and ASC III. Similar to many other skin care brands, Dermaquest endeavors to assist with common skin dilemmas like hyper pigmentation, fine lines, acne breakouts, wrinkles, sun damage and collagen loss. There are customer testimonials offered on the official Dermaquest website. None of the Dermaquest skin treatments are available via the official website, but there is a store locating tool offered on the website. No free trial samples of Dermaquest are offered through the website.

Product Details

Dermaquest is a skin care brand that’s geared toward women to potentially assist with skin concerns like hyper pigmentation, fine lines, acne breakouts, wrinkles, sun damage and collagen loss. A few of the key active components found in Dermaquest products are Sodium Hyaluronate (helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles), Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Actifirm TS, Salicylic Acid (exfoliates dead skin cells to assist with acne blemishes), Glycolic Acid (natural exfoliator), Emu Oil, DMAE Complex and ASC III.

The Good

  • Dermaquest offers skin care treatments to suit all general skin types.
  • There are numerous customer testimonials offered on the official Dermaquest website.
  • There is an active ingredient page available on the official website that discusses many of the primary ingredients in Dermaquest skin products.

The Bad

  • There does not appear to be any 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with Dermaquest skin products.
  • No Dermaquest skin care treatments are actually available through the official website.
  • There are no free trial samples of Dermaquest products offered via the official website.
  • Some ingredients found in Dermaquest skin care products may not be suitable for some individuals.
  • Dermaquest skin treatments can only be acquired through certain dealers online, so beware shady, unlicensed third-party vendors.
  • Some Dermaquest products can only be attained through a licensed physician.

The Bottom Line

The Dermaquest line of products appears to have a lot to offer women with different skin types. However, attaining these skin care treatments may not be so simple. If you can locate a dealer in your area, you may be able to pinpoint the Dermaquest products you wish to try. Unfortunately they do not seem to be offered with a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee. If the Dermaquest official website offered some free product samples, they would likely draw in more attention from more consumers.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
