Key Ingredients - DermIdenticals

We only use clinically proven cosmeceutical ingredients with research to back their use. We also stay at the cutting edge of new technology introducing new innovations into our range when available and only if the research supports their use.

There are literally hundreds of cosmetic ingredients on the market including various plant/fruit/flower extracts, various algae and a plethora of sensationalised miracle ingredients most of which have very little to zero evidence that they offer any real benefit to the skin.

We only use the best!

The best way to tell if a product is effective is to know your key ingredients. See below for a brief description of the benefits of our Key Ingredients.

Plant-derived exosomes are emerging as a revolutionary ingredient in cosmetic skin care. These nanosized vesicles, secreted by plant cells, contain bioactive compounds such as proteins, peptides, lipids, nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites like polyphenols and flavonoids.

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) has emerged as a revolutionary ingredient in skincare, celebrated for its regenerative and anti-aging properties. Derived from DNA fragments, PDRN is primarily used to enhance skin repair, boost collagen production, and improve overall skin health.

Retinol, aka Vitamin A, is an essential antioxidant. Retinol was the gold standard and one of the top performing skin repair actives currently available.

New generation retinoids are now available that overcome the draw backs of poor chemical stability and skin irritation found with Retinol and Retinal and considered by many superior.

Peptides have taken the cosmeceutical industry by storm . . .

L-Ascorbic acid is the biologically active form of Vitamin C. It’s water-soluble and highly potent however it is chemically unstable —it oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, light, or heat, turning products yellow or brown and reducing efficacy. It requires also requires a low pH (around 3.5) for stability, which can irritate sensitive skin, causing redness or stinging.

Ceramides help hold skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from pollution and other environmental stressors. It is one of the anti-ageing “powerhouses” responsible for supporting skin’s dynamic nature.

Niacinamide in cosmetics offers multiple benefits including strengthening the skin barrier, reducing redness and pore appearance, improving uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, and hydrating the skin.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a structural component of the skin and connective tissue throughout the human body. We use low molecular weight HA which absorbs better than standard HA.

Methylene blue is used in cosmetics as a powerful antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient that can improve skin hydration, reduce fine lines, and stimulate collagen production.

Adenosine applied topically shows significant improvement in the visible signs of ageing as well as improving skin smoothness..

Also known as pro-vitamin B5 it supports the skin’s barrier function thus improving hydration. It also supports fibroblasts, the cells that create collagen.

Biomimetic human collagen fragments produced by recombinent DNA technology small enough to absorb through the skin has overcome the shortfall of collagen in cosmeceuticals.
