An award-winning, high-strength vitamin C and vitamin E serum that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, revitalizing skin.

Recovery (if skin is red, irritated, and/or is difficult to improve moisture level):

Research has shown that an unbalanced microbiome leaves the skin weak and unprotected, a healthy microbiome plays a vital role in our skin health.
DERMA-V’s proprietary blend of 5 skin repairing ingredients supports a healthy microbiome. Derma-V is formulated with prebiotics to repair, antioxidants to prevent damage caused by UV, hydration boosters to smooth the skin, repair boosters (teprenone) to improve skin barrier function and peptides to support collagen and elastin formation. Used at night as a repair cream, Derma-V is ideal for all skin types including sensitive skin.
