Tested for You: Home Care Serum by Dermadrop

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for You: Home Care Serum by Dermadrop

Serum—the right one for every skin type. However, Dermadrop is actually best known for its TDA (transdermal application) technology. No needles, no injections. The system uses a special applicator that propels microfine active ingredients toward the skin at supersonic speeds in precisely timed pulses. The LP3 complex achieves this deep penetration by ensuring that active ingredients penetrate the skin’s protective lipid barrier and reach the deeper layers in a targeted manner. It consists of a specialized system of nested lipid-water spheres, each loaded with active ingredients. The individual active ingredients are tailored to each customer’s specific needs. Treatments are offered for various areas of the body. For example, Anti-Aging & Glow, problem skin such as acne and rosacea, Body & Cellulite for firming, and Hair & Nails to strengthen hair roots and regenerate cracked hands and feet. Skin reset in the fall A professional treatment at a beauty salon is the ideal way to kick off your fall skin reset. As summer comes to an end, our skin changes too. Our tan fades, small pigment spots become more visible, and the first fine lines caused by dryness start to show more clearly. At the same time, cooler temperatures and wind are on the way, posing new challenges for the skin. The focus now is on replenishing moisture reserves, counteracting summer-related changes, and promoting regeneration. However, how the skin is cared for at home is crucial. Carefully coordinated at-home products extend the effects of the TDA treaatment That’s why Dermadrop offers serums designed for home use to bridge the gap between salon appointments. This approach helps achieve long-lasting results. Dermadrop serum for Home Care Regardless of the season, I’ve chosen two serums that are always in season for me because they’re suitable for more mature skin types: The Mitocell Serum was developed for skin that lacks elasticity and firmness and needs regeneration. It’s a Deep Recovery Serum with antioxidant and revitalizing active ingredients that provide intensive care, protect against environmental stressors, and supply the skin with long-lasting moisture. It’s also highly recommended as a repair treatment right after the summer months, since sun and UV radiation can deplete the skin’s moisture reserves. Mature skin, which is already prone to dryness, particularly benefits from intensive hydration and active ingredients that lock in moisture over the long term. Regeneration with slow-aging ingredients Mitocell supports the skin’s natural regenerative processes and stimulates collagen and elastin production as well as the reconstruction of the extracellular matrix.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: “Sérum Spectral” by Biologique Recherche

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: “Sérum Spectral” by Biologique Recherche

A serum that uses a biomimetic approach to support the skin’s four key natural response mechanisms, which are activated by daily exposure to light. To me, this sounds like a very interesting product that was just recently launched. But what does “biomimetic” mean in a serum? It means the formula is modeled after nature. In nature, plants exposed to intense light or extreme temperature fluctuations activate highly intelligent defense mechanisms. These allow them to adapt to their environment and boost their resilience. “Serum Spectral” strengthens the skin’s natural resilience Modelled after the adaptive strategies of living organisms, the serum’s formula is based on three carefully selected active ingredients. This helps support the skin’s natural photo-resilience mechanisms. As a reminder, photoresilience refers to the skin’s ability to actively adapt to daily UV radiation, repair damage, and build resistance to light-induced skin aging, known as photoaging. To this end, the skin is equipped with key mechanisms: The natural melanin barrier provides natural protection. The skin strengthens this barrier by absorbing and scattering UV light. The epidermal barrier consists of the stratum corneum and the hydrolipid film (water-lipid film), which protect the skin from moisture loss and external influences. In the antioxidant system, skin-protecting enzymes and molecules neutralize free radicals generated by UV radiation. There are also repair and regeneration mechanisms responsible for cell repair, cell renewal, and autophagy (the removal of damaged proteins and cells). The serum’s key ingredients  Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea): It is native to Arctic regions and thrives in bright light and extreme cold. Its biotechnologically fermented cells are rich in polyphenols and have antioxidant and adaptogenic effects. Schisandra berries (Schisandra chinensis) have been used in China for centuries to promote stress resistance. Schisandrin acts as a cellular adaptogen. Adaptogens help the body cope with physical and mental stress. Schisandrin stimulates cellular autophagy and promotes the breakdown and recycling of damaged components. Indirubin (Polygonum tinctorium): Formed under environmental stress, it acts in the skin as a melanogenic adaptogen and strengthens the protective function of melanin. A smooth, milky-pink texture The milky, pink-hued texture is easy to dispense from the iridescent pink dropper bottle and can be applied in precise amounts. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or tinted film on the skin. This is due to a so-called liquid crystal formulation technology, which ensures optimal skin affinity while also promoting skin tolerance and comfort. I use the “Spectral Serum” from Biologique Recherche in the morning and at night, applying it to my face, neck, and décolletage with gentle, upward strokes.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: Serum „Lifting Skin Booster“ from Schaebens

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: Serum „Lifting Skin Booster“ from Schaebens

When it comes to products, I not only value the content, but also the look. And that struck me straight away with the “Skin Booster” serum. Looks like an XL medication capsule in bright pink with a matt, velvety touch. If you open it, a transparent liquid comes out of the dispenser. It is a bit too thin for my taste, which makes it difficult to apply. Some texture always runs through my fingers. 47% more skin elasticity? The texture then feels light on the skin and is quickly absorbed. The complexion appears vitalized. No oily film interferes with the application of the subsequent day or night care. The firming and smoothing effects are attributed to an active complex made from the flowers of the Japanese Tsubaki and natural tetrapeptide. I cannot confirm that the “Lifting Skin Booster” achieves a 47 percent plus in skin elasticity, as it says on the packaging. But how do you want to measure that against yourself? I’m always rather skeptical about such promises. In any case, the serum is well tolerated and pleasant on the skin. It should be used two to three times a week. Always applied to cleansed skin, of course. Then let it work in briefly before continuing with the day cream in your care routine. Three plus points I definitely like the Schaebens products. First plus point: Made in Germany. Second plus point: Free from microplastics, silicones, paraffins, dyes, allergenic fragrances and animal substances. Third plus point: the price. Each of the three small boosters – apart from the pink lifting serum, there is a harmonizing serum in green and a moisturizing serum in light blue – is less than 10 euros.My favorites are still the beauty concentrates of Schaebens in small, soft capsules the size of a coffee bean. Twist the top and pour the velvety concentrate onto your skin. For me the ideal travel companion. Schaebens „Lifting Skin Booster“, 25 ml, 7,95 Euro, Concentrates, 5 capsules, from 2,45 Euro… weiterlesen
