When it comes to skin care, and acne specifically, most of us only think of things we can put on...

I turned to DERMAdoctor for a solution and am pleased to say I’ve found one in Wrinkle Revenge rescue and protect eye balm. This daily use eye cream has become a staple of my beauty routine.

If you’ve had professional facials, chances are you’ve heard of glycolic acid. This miracle skincare ingredient is medically recognized as the superior alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) option for removing skin impurities and improving the appearance of maturing skin.

Retinol, a pure, topical form of Vitamin A, helps increase skin’s thickness and collagen production, firming and refining the complexion and restoring its vibrancy – a literal fountain of youth.

Sharpeis are so adorable. I think it’s those deep wrinkle folds that simply beg to be pinched. What makes a sharpei look, well, like a sharpei and not a pug? This breed of canine has a defect in the genetic make-up of their skin. A gene known as HAS2 responsible for producing dermal Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is faulty in the sharpei. In mature human skin, it’s simply less active. This deep tissue filler substance provides lift and volume to the skin. Without out it, skin sags and develops deep creases. On a sharpei it’s cute; on your face, not so much. Those lines that run from the nose to the mouth, nasolabial folds, become pronounced with the loss of dermal HA. One way to help restore lift and volume is DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge Serum. It contains Calcium Ketogluconate, a powerful ingredient shown to support skin’s natural filler. With continued use, the face becomes re-volumized, cheekbones become better defined and the face looks youthful. Wrinkle Revenge Serum is an alternative for costly and often painful injectable wrinkle fillers.

The dermis is like a Jello® mold strewn with pretzel sticks. Yes, a food analogy for the architecture of this all-important structural portion of our skin.

The pretzel sticks represent collagen fibers. These strong little strands hold up the skin like a tent pole. As we age, the skin loses 1% of its collagen fibers each year after the age of 40. This is why fine wrinkle lines appear.

Collagen fibers don’t exist in a vacuum, though. They live within the Jello® of the Jello® mold. Here, other important structures such as blood vessels, nerve endings and oil glands, amongst others, reside. What no one talks about is that as we age, the Jello of the Jello® mold begins to “melt”. This is why the face “falls”, deep crease lines develop (especially on the lower face) and jowls form.

Cosmetic surgery buzz words today are “lift” and “volume”. Rather than pulling the face tight in wind tunnel-like appearance reminiscent of the old fashioned face lift, injectable fillers are used to lift and revolumize sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge Serum fosters the “Jello®’s” overall health and structure, encouraging lift and volume of the aging face. Paired with a collagen builder such as Photodynamic Therapy, the pretzel Jello mold is complete, the face refreshed and a healthy appearance restored.
