FAQ - PRODUCTS AND REGIMENS

Do you test on animals?

No, we do not test our products on animals and do not ask others to do so. We only work with suppliers who do not perform animal testing.

Where can I buy DermExcel™ products?

You can purchase your products at one of our DermExcel™ dispensing practices. Find a list here

Or you can buy your products online at dermalhealth.store

How do I store my DermExcel™ products?

We recommend storing all of our products in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.

How long is the shelf life of DermExcel™ products?

The shelf life of our products is two years when unopened and stored at room temperature. Upon opening, we recommend that you use your product within six months.

In what order should the products be applied?
  • Cleansers: Renewal facial cleanser, Pore Control cleanser and Medi-Zinc cleanser.

Use in the morning and evening before applying a serum, exfoliator or hydrator.

  • Chemical Exfoliators: Radiant gel, Daily Acne peel, and Chemical peel spray.

Apply directly after cleansing your skin. We recommend that you not apply any other product on top of the chemical exfoliator.

Facial application of chemical exfoliator: Only apply at night.

Body application of chemical exfoliator: Application can also be in the morning.

  • Treatment serums: Acne Repair serum, Collagen serum, Retinol serum.

We suggest using no more than 2 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. We also recommend that you don't apply treatment serums at the same time you apply chemical exfoliators.

For best results, apply your serum directly after cleaning your skin, followed by your hydrator / moisturizer if that's part of your regimen.

  • Hydrator / Moisturisers: DermNourish, DermRepair and DermDefence SPF 50

If a hydrator forms part of your skincare regimen, we recommend that you apply it as the last step in your skincare routine.

About 2 pumps of serum and chemical exfoliator, and 1 pea-sized amount of hydrators should be enough for the full face and neck. 

How much product should I apply?

About 2 pumps of serums and chemical exfoliators, and 1 pea-sized amount of hydrators should be enough for the full face and neck.

Serums and moisturisers - what's the difference? 

Medical skincare products are more focused on the formulation of advanced serums rather that moisturizers for the following reason:

Moisturizers are primarily designed to hydrate the skin by adding to- and sealing in the natural moisture of the body. Although moisturizers often contain ingredients to target specific issues like aging or sun damage, their main role is to get hydration to the skin and keep it there.

Serums, on the other hand, are formulated to penetrate deeply into the skin and address or even reverse the causes of aging and skin damage at the cellular level. Serums contain more active ingredients, antioxidants, nutrients, and vitamins that work to repair the structure of skin cells, increasing skin radiance, smoothness, and suppleness.

Is initial peeling from DermExcel™ products normal?

Yes, most definitely. Acidic products like Radiant gel, Daily Acne peel, DermaLytic and Chemical peel spray is chemical exfoliators. They will increase cellular turnover and cause dead skin to shed. This will eventually result in a healthy and bright complexion.

Click here to learn how to manage the peeling and what steps you should follow to ensure optimal results. 

Is initial breakouts from DermExcel™ products normal?

Yes. Initial breakout smay occur because of "purging". Not everyone will experience this. Purging is an accelerated rate of exfoliation brought on by an active ingredient that is doing its job. This means that if you have clogged pores, they may seem worse and/or turn into pimples. If you have small pimples, they may turn into larger ones. This initial break out generally goes away anywhere from 2 weeks (with glycolic acid and salicylic acid) to 6 weeks (with retinoids) and your skin gets better from then on.
