So combining their scientific expertise and knowledge, these two childhood friends soon created this skincare line which combined both the best of science and nature, with the core aim to achieve "skin you dare to bare". The special ingredient in their products uses sea buckthorn, and other natural actives ingredients such as aloe barbadensis, chamomile, cucumber, honeysuckle flower extract, and additional ingredients like Vitamin C ester, high performance peptides, swiss apple stem cells were added after to supplement the original basic range.
Despite its use for centuries in Asia and Europe for its nutrient-packed, medicinal properties, Sea Buckthorn remains a well-kept skincare to the world. This special fruit is much loved as a skincare remedy as well as a nutritional supplement that boosts restorative activity.
You'll be surprised to know that although this tiny berry which is about a third the size of a blueberry, it holds 12 - 15 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange; making it a natural healer and regenerator. Sea Buckthorn also contains high omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acid content, including the rare 7 type, which alleviates skin dryness, visible fine lines, wrinkles and other premature aging indicators.
But enough raving, time to put these babies to the test.
The Miracle C+ serum ($69), a star product of Dermagold. Packed in a small sleek silver pump dispenser bottle, it minimizes the chances of oxidization to keep the active ingerdients fresh. About half to 1-quarter pump is enough to pat all over the face, prepping the skin before makeup staying power, thanks to its oil-control properties. I love how light it feels due to its watery-lotion consistensy, and thanks to its Aloe and Witch Hazel extracts, I feel it helps in calming the redness caused by healing, tender acne and spots. I pat this on as a layer of nourishment before makeup in the morning, daily.
Ingredients: Organic HerbalInfusion, OrganicAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (AloeVera), Sodium AscorbylPhosphate (VitaminC), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), HyaluronicAcid, Hamamelis Virginiana(WitchHazel),Carbomer,(2s)-2-Amino-5 guanidinopentanoic Acid, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol.As always, I layer on after serums: here I have the the Dermagold Skin Elixir ($128). It's a gel-like orange texture is jelly-like, and smells delightfully of a fruity cocktail, much like a sweet jam. A pump-full glides onto face, becoming watery-like for fast absorption. It contains marine seaweed, a natural antioxidant which helps to fight blemish-causing free radicals, while its Jojoba ingredient helps to nourish skin's moisture levels.

It may feel just the slightest bit sticky-wet at first but it mattes off in seconds. Not only do I wake up to a slightly dewy complexion the next morning, my face feel moisturized and dullness has been noticeably diminished after 2 weeks of use, based on once daily application (although its recommended to be applied during morning and evening.) I do like how my complexion has a brighter glow then before, which saves me the trouble of layering highlighting powder in my makeup regime.
