Where I got it: I was sent this trial sent from PR and you are only able to purchase Dermavidual products in selected salons. You can head to their website and check out your local salon that stock Dermaviduals.
What I got: This is the Dermaviduals Skin Clarity Kit. It contains 4 products: a cleans t, a toner, a serum and a moisturiser. It also comes with a cute little travel pouch.
How I find it:
Cleansing Gel (30ml). The cleansing components of the gel are tensides (surfactant) on a vegetable base, which are very gentle to the skin. The gel has mild but intense cleansing properties. It is suited for all skin types, particularly oily.
This cleansing gel is colour-free and fragrance-free. It smells of citronella because it is one of its ingredients. I use about a 10 cent coin size of this cleanser and work it into a foam, then massage onto my damp skin. This cleansing gel does not remove makeup so be sure to remove your makeup first. The gel lathers up nicely with the right amount of water in your clean hands and it cleanses the skin effectively. No residue after rinsing when I check with the toner.
süüsmoon®-Lotion P (30ml). Hyperactive skin needs effective first-aid measures to restore the natural balance. It is very important to keep skin caring substances at a minimum dose while using a skincare product that simultaneously has cleansing and regenerating properties to avoid further irritation. süüsmoon®-Lotion P meets those requirements and supports prevention of psoriasis. Due to the large concentration of linoleic acid in the liposomes used, süüsmoon®-Lotion P is also effective in treating and cleansing blemished skin (pre-acne). Liposomes are used as natural “means of transportation” for skin care agents. When included in preparations like in the present lotion, they are capable of performing gentle cleansing as well as skin caring functions. The liposomes described here consist of natural phosphatidylcholine which is also to be found in the human cell membrane and contains large amounts of linoleic acid (vitamin F). The human organism and above all the skin needs linoleic acid, which the human body is not able to synthesize. süüsmoon®-Lotion P spreads easily on the skin due to its liquid consistency and does not leave an oily film.
This is called a lotion but it is more of a toner. It comes in a little spray bottle where you can spray directly onto your cleansed skin or onto a cotton round and swipe across the face. It removes any remaining dirt, sebum, makeup or impurities. The product doesn’t have any scent and it feels like water on the skin. It gives a bit of hydration before your serum.
Liposome Concentrate Plus (20ml). For intensive care of blemished and rosacea-prone skin. This product is used for supporting prevention of cornification disorders on the sebaceous glands. The liposomes are very rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid) and thoroughly penetrate the uppermost skin layer. They support prevention of blemished and inflamed skin because the chemically bound linoleic acid is transformed to the anti-inflammatory 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE).
This comes in a glass bottle with a dropper. The serum has a cloudy white colour and has a typical serum consistency. It also does not have fragrance and is colour-free. It hydrates the skin with a lightweight texture and you only need about 3 drops for the entire face.
PlutioDerm Plus (50ml). The product is applied in case of a predisposition for acne on oily skin as well as against acne tarda and blemished skin in general. Acetoside and berberin have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. In the case of oily skin it can be combined with süüsmoon lotion P. Alternatively , if acne tarda is diagnosed, use with süüsmoon® lotion N.
This moisturiser comes in an airtight pump bottle. The moisturiser has a creamy consistency and has no colour (white). I only used about half a pump of this moisturiser for my entire face. It has a medium thickness and it does take my skin a few minutes to absorb, hence I don’t use a lot of it. It does not have SPF so I always use a sunscreen on top of this.
Overall: I have been using this set exclusively for about 3 weeks when my cleanser has ran out. Then another 2 weeks later my toner ran out as well. The serum lasted another month and the moisturiser is still going after a good 3 months. My favourite product out of this kit must be the toner and the serum. They are both hydrating and lightweight on the skin. The moisturiser is nice, but it feels very ordinary and nothing special. I do believe that using this skincare set for long term will yield great benefits for the skin.
