In the world of skincare, serums can significantly help with specific concerns and boosting your skin health. Today, we’re focusing on three standout Dermatech products: Active A, B Balancing, and C15 Serums – the ABCs! These serums each play a unique role in achieving radiant, healthy skin. Let’s dive into what makes them so brilliant as well as how and when to use them.
Active A and Active A+ are formulated with Retinyl Palmitate, a form of Vitamin A that promotes skin regeneration and collagen production. This makes them excellent for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture while improving hydration and firmness. With consistent nighttime use, you’ll notice smoother, more youthful skin.
⭐ Firmer, smoother skin and texture
⭐ Assists in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
⭐ Encourages healthy skin cell production
⭐ Aids in the reduction of pigmentation
⭐ Helps reduce the symptoms of rosacea
⭐ Decreases sebum production
Active A+ is simply double the strength of Active A. While Active A Serum contains 0.25% Retinyl Palmitate, Active A+ steps it up with 0.5%. This makes Active A+ more suitable for those accustomed to retinol treatments, while Active A is a gentler introduction for beginners.
No, it’s best used at night as Vitamin A can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
Yes, Retinyl Palmitate is one of the least irritating forms of Vitamin A, making it suitable for most skin types.
Start with every other night and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance.
Yes, Active A can be beneficial for those with acne as it helps decrease sebum production and promotes skin cell turnover, which can reduce clogged pores and breakouts.
This multitasking serum contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Hyaluronic Acid, designed to hydrate, calm, and protect your skin. It’s perfect for sensitive, acne-prone, or post-procedure skin, helping to reduce redness and inflammation while supporting skin repair.

C15 Serum is formulated with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, the purest form of Vitamin C, to brighten skin, even out skin tone, and protect against environmental stressors. Packed with antioxidants, it not only repairs damage but also boosts collagen production, giving your skin a luminous, youthful glow.
⭐ Brightens and evens skin tone

Yes, but use them at different times. Apply C15 in the morning and Active A at night.
The combination of Vitamin C with hydrating ingredients makes it suitable for most skin types, but patch testing is recommended.
Daily use in the morning before sunscreen is ideal.
The Essential Repair Serum combines the powers of Vitamin A and Vitamin C being composed of 0.25% Retinyl Palmitate, 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, and Hyaluronic Acid - a very powerful combination. Together you have a well-rounded, powerhouse formula!
⭐ Comprehensive anti-aging serum
⭐ Collagen boosting
⭐ Brightening and evening of skin tone
⭐ Enhanced skin hydration
⭐ Soothing and moisturising
⭐ Antioxidant protection
Essential Repair is best applied in the evening, followed by moisturiser. During the day you should apply sunscreen.
As a general rule, an active serum should be applied on to clean skin after cleanser and before moisturiser. When incorporating A, B, & C into your routine, use the C15 Serum in the morning for antioxidant protection and brightness and choose Active A or Active A+ at night time for rejuvenation. The B Balancing Serum can be used both morning and night for continuous hydration and calming effects. If you are using the essential repair, use this at night time instead of an Active A serum.
When introducing new products to your skincare routine, start by using them 1-2 times a week and gradually increase the frequency.
By incorporating these targeted serums into your routine, you’ll enjoy smoother, more radiant skin while addressing concerns like aging, hydration, and uneven texture!
