How to use

How to use

Apply in the morning and/or evening on cleansed skin before any other product.

Follow these 3 tips to get the most out of your serum.

1. Cleanse Well

The active ingredients in skin serums will stick to dirt and dead skin, so for maximum absorption be sure to wash your face properly before applying.

2. Apply to Damp Skin

Moist skin is more permeable than dry skin, so apply serum to damp skin after cleansing for quick, deep absorption. Press serum into the skin with an open palm instead of fingertips to release active ingredients.

3. Less is More

Serums are super concentrated. Use just 1-2 pumps or a little smaller than a pea-size amount.

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

The normal retinol molecule needs to be converted to the active form (all-trans retinoic acid) before it can bind to the retinoid receptors to activate a biological response – all dermatological benefits.

Because of this conversion, studies indicate that 1% Retinol is about 20 times weaker than the active form of Retinoic acid. 1% Retinol, equivalent to about 0.05% Retinoic acid.

The HPR retinoid molecule needs no conversion to bind to Retinoid receptors as it’s already in the active form. It binds directly to the retinoid receptor without causing irritation.

The normal retinol molecule and the newly advanced HPR retinoid are 2 totally different molecules and therefore conversion calculation would be almost impossible. It is however save to say that 3% of HPR retinoid yields significantly more retinoid receptor binding activity than 1% retinol (the highest percentage retinol in non-prescription products).

Other active ingredients in the DermExcel Retinol formulation
This formulation also contains superior active ingredients, complementing the advanced HPR molecule.

    Not harsh at all like other retinol products. It also hasn’t dried out my skin. Highly recommended

  2. Sharyn (verified owner)

    This is a great product and I have had many compliments about my skin since I stayed using it. But you do need to use sunscreen everyday when using Retinol products.

  3. Nthabiseng (verified owner)

    I love this product,and my skin is responding very well

  4. Samantha

    Great product! I use it until the last squirt and then I remove the cap to get more of the goodness.
    Such a wonderful introduction to the world of retinol!
    Wish they could formulate the product to ‘travel’ more freely over the skin, as in, without the aid of water to help distribute it over the skin.

  5. Bernice (verified owner)

    Amazing product, best retinol serum I have used so far.

  6. Michelle

    I use this product every other day and my pores have never been so small. Can’t go without it!

  7. Chrisna (verified owner)

    It has never made my skin flaky like some other retinol products (I use it every night) and it keeps my skin clear and smooth.

  8. Eve (verified owner)

    Best Retinol on the market. A must for aged skin♡

  9. Lorraine (verified owner)

    I don’t like the texture

  10. Lorencia (verified owner)

    Very good product. The texture of my skin improved a lot in just a few weeks. It absorbs easily into your skin. It does not irritate my skin at all

  11. Helena (verified owner)

    It smooths your skin and reduce fine lines. A must have!

  12. GERDA (verified owner)

    I started to use this retinol every third night, and it has not made my skin dry or peeling. I can see that my skin looks more even, and the black heads on my nose has improved
    This is a potent yet gentle retinol and I expect that my skin will improve allot more with longer and more frequent use once my skin is more used to the retinol

  13. Nadine (verified owner)

    First time I have used a Retinol serum and can see and feel the difference after just 2 weeks. Really impressed and love that it also contains Niacinamide.

  14. Bernadette (verified owner)

    I have been using this serum for a month now and it feels great on your skin. No peeling, no sensitivity, just amazing skin in the morning.

  15. Doreen (verified owner)

    I have used many other Retinol products before, but this one is definitely the best. Just cant do my face routine without it. I am using it like every day.

  16. Juanri (verified owner)

    Great serum!! My skins texture has improved a lot!!

  17. Doreen (verified owner)

    I start using this serum about 6 months ago. This is really a great product! When I started off with this product I only use it once a week, then twice a week. and I am using it now every night. The only thing I find with this. your skin needs to be damp otherwise the product is laying on the surface and not much is absorbed into the skin. But my skin never looked better!!! And I am 54!
