Clinical Ingredients, Innovations & Processes

Despite our remarkable reputation for introducing game-changing new ingredients to the world of skincare, our most secret ingredient can be found in every DermaQuest product: Science.

Peptides

DermaQuest combines Sam Dhatt's 30-year expertise with a sophisticated blend of peptides to revolutionize skin care. These peptides, essential for skin proteins, stimulate collagen production, control melanin synthesis, and strengthen skin structure.

DermaQuest meticulously selects and optimizes these peptides to target fine lines, wrinkles, and enhance skin brightness, ensuring each product precisely addresses skin's needs. This approach not only preserves skin health but also amplifies the benefits of each ingredient, delivering targeted and effective skincare solutions.

Retinol/Vitamin A

DermaQuest's innovative Retinol IQ utilizes four types of retinol to tailor treatments for all skin types, challenging traditional views on Vitamin A usage in skincare. As the body doesn't naturally produce Vitamin A, it's sourced from diet, including liver, fish, eggs, and beta-carotene-rich fruits and vegetables, which convert to Retinoic Acid in the body.

DermaQuest employs first-generation Retinoids such as Retinyl Palmitate, Retinol, and Retinaldehyde, enhancing skin by promoting cell turnover, boosting collagen and elastin, and reducing melanin and acne. The Retinol IQ line offers four strength serums, ensuring versatility and safety for both new and experienced users, revolutionizing skin treatment with remarkable results.

Antioxidants

DermaQuest leads in skincare innovation by incorporating all seven forms of Vitamin C, using both water-soluble and oil-soluble variants for optimal delivery. This method ensures comprehensive skin protection and repair. The use of encapsulation technology allows for precise delivery, maximizing the benefits of Vitamin C, a critical antioxidant in combating cellular damage from free radicals caused by environmental stressors.

DermaQuest's standout is the oil-soluble Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (BV-OSC), offering three times deeper penetration than traditional forms. BV-OSC not only boosts collagen production by 50% but also significantly reduces skin pigmentation by inhibiting melanogenesis by over 80%, showcasing superior efficacy in enhancing skin health.

Delivery Systems

Innovative delivery systems are a fundamental aspect of DermaQuest's approach to transformative skincare. These systems encapsulate the active ingredients, providing stability and efficacy until they reach the targeted skin layer. Once there, a controlled release mechanism activates, allowing gradual absorption of the ingredients, promoting optimal benefits without the risk of surface irritation.

Liposomes

Liposomes are spherical vesicles that contain concentric lipid bilayers, designed to encapsulate the active ingredients within skincare products. They emulate the structure of cell membranes, enhancing the delivery of these substances to the skin cells. Liposomes merge with the lipid bilayers of the skin, enabling controlled release of the encapsulated ingredients, ensuring effective penetration into the deeper layers.

Kemspheres

Kemspheres are a pioneering delivery system developed to protect and stabilize the active ingredients until they are absorbed by the skin. They employ solid lipid nanoparticles that slowly dissolve upon application, gradually releasing the actives. This system prolongs the exposure time of the skin to the ingredients, maximizing absorption and efficacy.

Hydroxysomes

An Advanced delivery mechanism consisting of calcium phosphate nanoparticles, these particles enhance the bioavailability of the actives by delivering them directly to the targeted site within the skin. The controlled dissolution of hydroxysomes ensures continuous and sustained release, extending the benefits over a longer duration.

Microsponges

Sponge-like spherical particles that encapsulate active ingredients within their porous structure. Designed to release their contents gradually over time, they help modulate the delivery rate upon skin application. This slow-release action reduces the risk of skin irritation and provides a time-release effect for prolonged activity of the ingredients on the skin's surface.

Key Active Ingredients

Plant Stem Cells

Buddleja Davidii Meristem Cell Culture

Prized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties this powerful stem cell helps protect the skin against environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution, reducing oxidative damage. It also promotes skin regeneration and protects against the degradation of collagen and elastin, making it a beneficial ingredient in anti-aging formulations.

Citrus Stem Cells

Citrus stem cells possess antioxidant capacity that lends itself to the repair and rejuvenation of skin. Extracted from the stem cells of citrus fruits, these potent antioxidants effectively combat the oxidative stress induced by UV/environmental exposure. By neutralizing free radicals and reducing the resulting cellular damage, citrus stem cells help restore skin's vitality and resilience.

Edelweiss Plant Stem Cells

(Leontopodium Alpinum Meristem Cell Culture) Edelweiss stem cells boost collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity. They offer antioxidant protection against free radical damage and have anti-inflammatory properties to soothe the skin.

Gardenia Plant Stem Cells

(Gardenia Jasminoides Meristem Cell Culture) These stem cells contribute to skin firming and tightening by inhibiting collagen and elastin breakdown, boosting collagen production, providing antioxidant protection, enhancing hydration, reducing inflammation, and supporting the skin barrier.

Lilac Plant Stem Cells

(Syringa Vulgaris) Combat acne with antimicrobial properties, regulate oil production, provide antioxidant protection to reduce signs of aging, and soothe irritated skin. Additionally, they help prevent future breakouts and reduce excess oil and shine.

Madonna Lily Plant Stem Cells

(Lilium Candidum) Brighten skin by evening out tone and reducing hyperpigmentation, boost collagen production for firmer skin, enhance hydration for a plumper look, and soothe irritation with anti-inflammatory properties.

Plant Stem Cells

Plant stem cells are highly beneficial for the skin, particularly in enhancing hydration and repairing the skin barrier. They promote cell regeneration, which aids in repairing damaged tissues and restoring moisture levels. By supporting the skin's barrier function, plant stem cells help retain moisture, preventing transepidermal water loss and ensuring long-lasting hydration. Their antioxidant properties also protect against environmental stressors, while their ability to inhibit melanin production contributes to a brighter, more even complexion.

Sea Fennel Plant Stem Cells

(Crithmum Maritimum Extract) Sea fennel stem cells promote skin renewal and regeneration, helping to improve texture and tone. They have brightening properties that lighten hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone by inhibiting melanin production.
