A potent antioxidant formulation enriched with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a highly stable and powerful form of Vitamin C. This serum is designed to brighten the skin tone and combat signs of aging effectively. Its unique blend of ingredients, including Vitamin F essential fatty acids, Niacinamide, and low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, provides multi-depth serum penetration and optimal hydration.

With its remarkable ability to stimulate collagen production, this hyper-strength treatment serum promotes skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it inhibits melanin production, leading to a brighter complexion while counteracting the effects of UV exposure and environmental damage.

Collagen Serum's expert formulation works synergistically to plump the skin, enhance skin tone, and refine pore size, resulting in a visibly smoother and more youthful appearance. Its rich antioxidant properties contribute to repairing and rejuvenating the skin, promoting a healthier complexion overall.


Vitamin C - (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate)

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize skin free radicals. These free radicals are generated by environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution, which contribute to premature aging. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, vitamin C helps prevent oxidative skin damage, thereby reducing signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Another significant benefit of vitamin C is its role in collagen production. Collagen is a key protein that gives the skin its structure and firmness. As an essential cofactor for collagen biosynthesis, vitamin C helps maintain skin elasticity and can aid in wound healing and scar reduction.

Vitamin C is also known for its skin-brightening properties. It helps to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production. By reducing melanin formation, vitamin C can help lighten hyperpigmentation and even skin tone, leading to a brighter and more radiant complexion.

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. Unlike ascorbic acid, which is water-soluble and can be unstable in certain formulations, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is more stable. Due to its lipid-soluble nature, it can penetrate the skin more effectively, reaching the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, and providing antioxidant protection.


Physiological Effects

  • Antioxidant Properties: Powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals caused by UV radiation and pollution, preventing oxidative stress and damage to the skin.
  • Collagen Synthesis: It plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, aiding in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Skin Brightening: Effective in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production.
  • Photoprotection: While not a sunscreen, it provides photoprotection by neutralizing free radicals induced by UV exposure.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

  • Skin Aging: Reduce signs of aging and improve skin texture.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Effective in treating hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma.
  • Sun Damage: Help mitigate the effects of sun damage and provide some level of photoprotection.
  • General Skin Health: Both forms can improve overall skin health by boosting collagen production and providing antioxidant protection.

THD Specific benefits

  • Stable form of Vitamin C: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a more stable, lipid-soluble vitamin C, allowing for better skin penetration and less irritation than other forms.
  • Enhanced Collagen Production: It has been shown to stimulate collagen production more effectively than ascorbic acid, aiding in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
  • Hydration and Barrier Function: Due to its lipid-soluble nature, it enhances skin hydration and reinforces the skin barrier.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found throughout the body's connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. Most abundantly present in the skin, eyes, and synovial fluid, HA is renowned for its exceptional capacity to retain moisture — a single gram can hold up to six liters of water.

In skincare, the primary appeal of hyaluronic acid lies in its unparalleled hydrating abilities. As a humectant, HA attracts and retains moisture from the environment, providing intense hydration to the skin. This hydrating property contributes significantly to maintaining skin plumpness, suppleness, and elasticity.

Beyond hydration, hyaluronic acid also plays a vital role in skin repair and regeneration. It supports the skin's healing and repair processes, and its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated skin. Moreover, HA's ability to promote collagen production, a crucial protein for skin elasticity, further underscores its anti-aging benefits.

The molecular size of hyaluronic acid influences its skin penetration and efficacy. High-molecular-weight HA remains on the skin's surface, providing hydration and forming a barrier against moisture loss. In contrast, low-molecular-weight HA penetrates deeper into the skin's layers, offering more profound hydrating and rejuvenating effects.

Hyaluronic acid's remarkable ability to hydrate, improve skin elasticity, aid in wound healing, and provide antioxidant protection makes it valuable in managing various dermatological conditions, particularly aging, dryness, and sensitive skin.


Physiological Effects

  • Hydration: Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, significantly enhancing skin hydration and leading to plumper, more hydrated skin.
  • Skin Elasticity and Wrinkle Reduction: By increasing skin moisture, it improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and gives the skin a more youthful appearance.
  • Wound Healing: It plays a role in wound healing due to its ability to regulate inflammation levels and signal the body to build more blood vessels in the damaged area.
  • Barrier Enhancement: Hyaluronic acid helps reinforce the skin's natural barriers, protecting against environmental factors and retaining moisture.
  • Antioxidant Properties: It provides antioxidant defense against free-radical damage from the sun and pollution.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

  • Aging Skin: Its ability to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity makes it popular in anti-aging skincare products.
  • Dry Skin: Hyaluronic acid is beneficial in treating dry skin conditions by providing intense hydration.
  • Wound Care: Its role in wound healing is leveraged in post-procedure care, such as after laser treatments, and in healing minor cuts and abrasions.
  • Acne Scars: It can help treat acne scars by promoting skin regeneration and reducing inflammation.
  • Sensitive Skin: Hyaluronic acid is suitable for sensitive skin due to its gentle nature. It provides hydration without irritating.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide offers several benefits for the skin, primarily due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It reduces the redness and inflammation associated with acne, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Additionally, niacinamide's ability to improve the skin's barrier function benefits all skin types, particularly those with eczema or mature skin.

Another significant benefit of niacinamide is its role in reducing hyperpigmentation. Studies have shown that it can decrease the transfer of melanin to the epidermis, helping to fade dark spots and even out skin tone.

Niacinamide also plays a role in reducing the visible signs of aging. It has been found to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Its antioxidant properties further protect the skin from environmental damage, such as pollution and UV radiation, which contribute to premature aging.

The efficacy of niacinamide and its ability to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously has led to its growing popularity in both over-the-counter and prescription skincare formulations.


Physiological Effects

  • Barrier Function Enhancement: Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin’s barrier function by increasing the production of ceramides, lipids that keep the skin hydrated and protect against environmental damage.
  • Anti-inflammatory Properties: It has notable anti-inflammatory effects, which are beneficial in reducing redness and inflammation associated with acne, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Sebum Regulation: Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production, which controls excess oiliness and can benefit acne-prone skin.
  • Hyperpigmentation Reduction: It reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes, leading to an even skin tone.
  • Anti-aging Effects: Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
  • Antioxidant Activity: It has antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors like UV radiation and pollution.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

  • Acne and Oily Skin: Niacinamide effectively manages acne and oily skin by regulating sebum and reducing inflammation.
  • Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: Its ability to reduce melanin transfer benefits it in treating hyperpigmentation and melasma.
  • Aging Skin: Niacinamide targets wrinkles and loss of firmness.
  • Skin Barrier Disorders: Niacinamide is beneficial in treating skin barrier disorders like atopic dermatitis and eczema by enhancing barrier function and hydration.
  • Photodamage and Skin Protection: It helps mitigate the effects of photodamage and provides some degree of protection against environmental damage.

Morning

  • Application time: Apply in the morning on cleansed skin.
  • Frequency: Every day or as per your Dermal Diagnosis regimen instructions.

1. Cleanse

  • Start with clean and dry skin.
  • Use your DermExcel cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil from your skin.

2. Apply

  • Take a small amount of serum (1-2 pumps or a pea-sized amount should suffice) and gently apply it to the face.
  • Using your fingertips, gently massage the serum into your skin in a circular motion. This helps to ensure the serum is evenly distributed and absorbed.

3. Wait

  • Allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin before applying other skincare products. This typically takes 1-2 minutes.

Important notes

  • Clean skin: The active ingredients in skin serums will stick to dirt and dead skin, so wash your face properly before applying for maximum absorption.
  • Damp skin: After cleansing your face, don't completely dry your skin; leave it slightly damp. The best time to apply the serum is when your skin is still slightly damp after cleansing. This allows your skin to better absorb the potent ingredients in the serum.
  • Less is more: serums are super concentrated. Use just 1-2 pumps or a little smaller than a pea-size amount.

collagen serum

mode of action

collagen
collagen
  • It makes up around 70% of your dermis.
  • You lose around 1% of your collagen each year from age 25.
  • Less collagen = more wrinkles.
  • It's responsible for giving your skin strength.
  • Sun damage is the most significant cause of collagen loss and wrinkles.
  • Preventing the breakdown of collagen is one of the most effective anti-aging strategies.
Elastin
Elastin
  • Elastin fibers give your skin its elasticity or 'bounce' and help it return to its original position after performing facial expressions or being pulled, poked, or pinched.
  • Your body stops naturally producing elastin once you reach puberty.
  • UV rays also break down elastin.
  • When your skin loses its elasticity, it begins to sag, which enhances the appearance of wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid
  • 50% of your body's HA is found in your skin.
  • It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.
  • It's responsible for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity and providing your dermis with its volume.
  • It reinforces the intercellular structures and produces the elastoviscous fluid matrix that firmly envelops collagen and elastin fibers.
Fibroblasts
Fibroblasts
  • Fibroblasts are central to maintaining skin health and play a significant role in the aging process.
  • Their decreased function and the cumulative damage they endure over time contribute to the hallmark signs of aging, incl. wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and reduced hydration.
  • Protecting fibroblasts and enhancing their function can significantly impact skin health and slow skin aging.
