Introduction & Overview |
derma E® is a manufacturer of various skin care products that are designed to “produce dramatic results, helping you to obtain more youthful, beautiful skin utilizing the pure power of nature.” This company markets various products intended to address a wide variety of skin conditions, including “itching, cracked skin, scars, age spots, spider veins, blemishes, pimples, redness, or inflammation.”
While this company boasts of utilizing the most cutting-edge ingredients in its products, it seems that this is not unequivocally the case. It appears that some of the ingredients used in this company’s products are not backed by a significant body of clinical research. We believe that for the discerning individual, only the most proven ingredients should be acceptable. We will evaluate this company and its products for their potential ability to significantly improve the resilience and appearance of skin.

| Products in Focus |
For this review, we will assess the skincare product that this company claims is its “best product to diminish the appearance of already existing wrinkles.” This product is the Peptides Plus® Double Action Wrinkle Reverse Serum. It contains two very powerful wrinkle-reducing ingredients, Matrixyl™ and Argireline®. We are pleased to see these two superior components utilized in this formulation. However, it is our opinion that the power of this product’s ingredients seems to deteriorate from there.
For example, the ingredient, Pycnogenol®, which this company seems to cite as one of its signature components, does not seem to be proven for its supposed antioxidant effects. One researcher states, “Due to conflicting study results, it is unclear if Pycnogenol® has significant antioxidant effects in humans.” Another researcher states that “the extent of the antioxidant potential of Pycnogenol in vivo is unclear.” We would have preferred to see more proven ingredients, such as Hyaluronic Acid or Collagen.

| Website |
We consider this product’s Website to be informative and fairly well-organized. The site features testimonials, information about the individual products and Frequently Asked Questions. Also provided are informational brochures and articles. We wish there had been more detail provided regarding the company’s return policy. It states that individuals who are unsatisfied with a product’s performance may return an opened product to the “store you bought it from” for refund or replacement. For those who purchase a product online, however, the information seems less clear. It is merely stipulated that these people have “45 days to return the product,” but it is not specified whether opened products are accepted.

| Final Thoughts |
We feel that this line of products features some excellent skin care ingredients. However, we would have preferred to see an entire roster of strong ingredients for maximum results.
The ingredients Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen are known to replenish the skin’s moisture and reduce the depth of wrinkles. We feel that these ingredients may play an essential role in any skincare formulation. There are formulas currently available online that combine these top-rate elements and provide a clearly stated refund policy.
