DERMA E Anti-Aging Face Serum, 1.7 fl oz

DERMA E Anti-Aging Face Serum combines retinol, bakuchiol and glycolic acid to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture. The pictured carton names it Anti-Aging Regenerative Serum and declares 1.7 fl oz / 50 mL.

Retinol and bakuchiol for smoother-looking skin

This facial serum is designed for an evening routine focused on visible signs of aging. Retinol and bakuchiol are paired with exfoliating glycolic acid, while glycerin, vitamin E and plant oils help keep skin feeling moisturized. The goal is a smoother-looking complexion, not an instant or permanent reversal of aging.

What distinguishes this formula

The published formula includes retinol alongside bakuchiol, so it is not a retinol-free alternative. It also contains green tea extract, panthenol, avocado oil, sesame seed oil and sunflower seed oil. Lavender, sage, orange and spearmint oils are listed; this is not a fragrance-free formula.

No retinol or glycolic acid percentage is specified here. Review the full ingredients on your current package if you avoid sesame, aromatic oils or other cosmetic ingredients.

Evening application and gradual introduction

The current full-size product directions say to apply onto a clean face and neck in the evening. Begin every other evening to build tolerance, then work toward nightly use as tolerated. The manufacturer's introductory guidance suggests this every-other-night approach for two to three weeks.

Use sunscreen in the morning, as the manufacturer notes that retinol can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Older set instructions mention morning-and-evening use, but the current individual serum listing specifies evenings; follow your current package's directions and precautions. No fixed number of drops or pumps is specified.
