All about: Dermalogica AGE Smart Phyto-Nature Firming Serum




A couple of months ago I attended an event hosted by Dermalogica that included a ‘big reveal’ of several products – one of which was seriously exciting but also under embargo. Until now, which is why I am here and ready to spill!
Dermalogica are all about creating serious skincare with no mucking around involved, and the popularity of their products speaks for itself. Their newest addition is their most prestige product yet, and will seriously take on the big guns when it comes to serious transformation and increasing the skin health of all who use it. 
Joining Dermalogica’s award-winning AGE Smart range, it’s called Phyto-Nature Firming Serum and is a ground-breaking dual-phase serum that goes to work on all manner of issues troubling ageing skin – and with serious results.  Not only does the serum instantly firm and lift, but research has proven it can reduce the signs of ‘lifestyle’ ageing from lack of sleep, smoking, a poor diet and more. Most people in the modern world are ageing at an unnatural rate, meaning that outside factors or your ‘exposome’ (yes, it’s a thing!), are accelerating skin ageing beyond what your DNA alone would dictate. Research shows that a chronically unhealthy exposome leads to premature wrinkles, loss of elasticity and uneven skin tone. For example: on average, smoking can make skin look two years older, excess sun six and a half years older, poor sleep quality two and a half years older, and an unhealthy diet two years older. Pretty amazing facts, and all the more reason to take care of you AND your skin.
But back to the Phyto-Nature Firming Serum, the little wonder at hand. Housed separately in two chambers to maximise potency and limit stabilising ingredients, its oil-water solution consists of both a lifting serum and firming serum that work in two separate phases for maximum results. Key ingredients include Sapphire-bound biomimetic peptides to help firm skin and reinforce skin defenses, potent, plant-derived bio-extracts to visibly tighten skin and Amazonian Camu Camu, sourced sustainably from Peru, to prolong radiance (often called the “youth berry,” this superfruit contains 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange). Moroccan Rockrose Extract is included to neutralize skin damaging free radicals, whilst Caffeic Acid from Madagascar Green Coffee Bean, a phyto-active that works with skin’s microbiome, helps revitalize skin and decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Oh and last but by no means last, a next-generation Hyaluronic Acid delivers a filler effect for that wonderful feeling of instant gratification!
 “For the first time ever, Dermalogica is harnessing biomimicry, a scientific approach that mimics nature to solve complex human challenges,” says Caroline Parker, Head of Education for Dermalogica New Zealand - and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things skin. “It works instantly and over time to firm, lift and revitalise the look of prematurely-ageing skin.” 
The skin health experts at Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute believe that a healthy lifestyle and environment are important for healthy skin, which is why this beauty has been certified cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan, and formulated without artificial fragrances or colours. 
Dermalogica’s new Phyto-Nature Firming Serum comes in a 40ml dual-chamber bottle that is incredibly pretty on the bathroom shelf, and has a recommended retail price of $290 due to its most definitely prestige nature. It is available a week today from authorised Dermalogica skin centres, department stores, Life Pharmacies and online at dermalogica.co.nz. Oh and for the launch period (September/October) anyone that purchases the new Phyto-Nature Firming Serum will also receive a very pretty Dermalogica Gua Sha to maximise its effectiveness.
