DermaSurface Review

 Updated On:

Overview

DermaSurface is a skin care company founded by one Hollie Geer. Like some other cosmetic brands, this product line offers treatments that aim to minimize the signs of aging, improve the overall quality of the skin and prevent wrinkles from forming. The official website states that Geer has over 10 years of “expertise” in the skin care industry. DermaSurface products are intended to be used as part of a daily skin care maintenance and prevention regimen. These treatments have been discussed in magazines like American Spa, Les Nouvelles, WWD, SpaTrends and Damsel.

There are seven different products in the DermaSurface line, which are Hydra Refresh (hydrating toner), Perfect Balance (amino acid face wash), Bright Eye (anti-aging eye cream), Skin Renew (non-abrasive exfoliator), Surface Bright (brightening complex), Red Carpet (anti-aging moisturizer) and Hydra Intensive (hyaluronic acid complex). Some of the primary active ingredients incorporated into DermaSurface treatments are Matrixyl Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid (relaxes facial muscles to battle wrinkles), Vitamin A (exfoliates dead skin cells), Squalane, Vitamin E (heals the skin), Licorice Extract, Rosewater (sooths irritation), Aloe (calms and heals damaged skin), Grapeseed Extract and Amino Acids. There is a convenient contact form and 1-800 number presented on the official website. Unfortunately a satisfaction guarantee is not mentioned with DermaSurface skin care treatments.

Product Details

DermaSurface is a line of treatments geared toward women who desire assistance with common skin dilemmas like facial lines, age spots, hyper pigmentation, deep wrinkles, dry skin and irritation. These topical skin products cost anywhere from $25 to $60 a piece and utilize active components like Matrixyl Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, Vitamin E, Licorice Extract and Vitamin A. Currently there are no customer testimonials found on the official DermaSurface website to support the effectiveness of the treatments, nor are there free samples available to new users. With each DermaSurface treatment there are instructions posted concerning how they should be applied each day. Clinical data is not presented on the website regarding these skin care products or the ingredients in them.

The Good

  • The active ingredient found in DermaSurface products are clearly posted on the official website.
  • There is a 1-800 number posted on the official website to assist consumers.
  • All DermaSurface treatments can be acquired easily via the website.

The Bad

  • No clear clinical evidence is provided to support DermaSurface products.
  • A full ingredient list for each treatment is not offered on the website.
  • There is no mention of a refund policy with DermaSurface products.
  • Some of the ingredients incorporated into DermaSurface topical treatments may not suit all skin types.
  • DermaSurface products are basically only geared toward women.

The Bottom Line

When it comes down to it, the DermaSurface brand comes across as a “high-end” line of treatments that are marketed especially toward aging/mature women. Like so many other skin care lines out there, DermaSurface is claimed to assist with anti-aging and skin restoration. While it’s nice that all of these products can be purchased with ease from the official website, more than likely many consumers will want to see an actual money-back guarantee and some real clinical research posted to support the effectiveness of DermaSurface.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  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.
