The Foundation of
Our Formulas
derma e®'s
formulas, like the name, derive from our long experience
in creating natural skin care remedies with proven
medicinal benefits. Both began with the discovery
that anti-oxidants can be beneficial when topically
applied to your skin. We also knew that to really
work, these anti-ageing substances needed to reach your
skin's underlying dermal layer in effective
strengths.
Each of our products,
in addition to its pleasant fragrance and texture, is a
well-designed carrier for its payload of numerous
effective and interactive ingredients delivered at potent
strengths. derma e's products are designed
individually to be combined by you into your own
personally tailored skin care routine.
Very few companies
obtain licenses to use proprietary ingredients, and derma
e was one of the first to do so. Proprietary
ingredients are proven, registered, and brand
names. Each has had extensive scientific research
conducted to ensure its effectiveness as an ingredient in
topical applications. Examples that you will
recognise in our products are Ester-C®,
Pycnogenol®, Astazanthin® and
Cranberol™.
Because we believe
antioxidants are key to maintaining youthfulness and
health, we combine them with other natural ingredients in
many of our formulations. You will see that our
products consistently incorporate effective levels of
natural ingredients and antioxidants, as our product
names show.
In all our products, we
guarantee you unparalleled quality and
integrity.
The Antioxidant
Theory of Ageing
It is now widely
accepted in medical and scientific circles that oxidative
damage is one of the major causes of many disease states
and has a profound adverse effect on the ageing
process. This common theory of how ageing occurs
can be seen as you watch metal rust or an apple turn
brown. Both are caused by oxidation, and are the
first steps in degeneration.
Oxidative damage is
caused by free radical molecules in our environment and
inside our bodies that act to break down our cellular
structure and function. As the cell structure
breaks down, we start to "fall apart" and visible signs
of ageing begin.
Antioxidants help
prevent oxidation. Antioxidants enable your body to
defend itself against damage by neutralising oxidation
and free radicals. Research indicates that
antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E
quench free radicals before they damage our
cells.
The Antioxidant Theory
of Ageing is based on research that indicates we can
proactively help prevent ageing by including more
antioxidants in our diet and skin care products.
Supporting this, an 18-month study reported in 1998
demonstrated a marked reduction in new lines and
wrinkles, and a significant decrease in existing
wrinkles, as a result of topically applied
antioxidants.1
Well-known
antioxidants, in order of effectiveness are:
Astazanthin®, Pycnogenol®, Alpha Lipoic Acid,
Vitamin C (Ester-C®), Vitamin E, and Retinol (vitamin
A). derma e has always kept antioxidants as core
ingredients, adding new ones to formulations, as they are
proven effective.

suite your different skin care needs. Begin by
identifying your skin type.

2. CARE FOR YOUR
SKIN
Follow these four steps
to maximise your skin's health.
Step 1:
Cleansing
Thoroughly lift
make-up, dirt and debris from your skin's surface with
one of our many soothing, gentle
cleansers.
Step 2:
Toning
Complete the
cleansing process with our recommended skin toner.
Formulated to gently condition and restore your skin's
delicate chemistry, our soothing toners will leave
your skin awakened, refreshed, clean and
clear.
Step 3:
Exfoliating
Exfoliate once or
twice a week for pure, soft, and smooth skin. This
process will help improve your skin tone, diminish the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a
younger, healthier appearance.
Step 4:
Moisturising
Using a moisturiser
is vital to the health of every type of skin. All
derma e® moisturisers start by satisfying your
skin's core requirements, protecting its dermal layer
by locking in its moisture and feeding it a mega-dose
of essential nutrients daily. From there, each
moisturiser in our collection caters to your own
special needs by pampering you with its own unique
blend of healthy ingredients.
