Review of Imedeen Derma One skincare supplement for over 25 year olds

I have been trying Imedeen’s Derma One beauty supplement for the last three months to bring you this frank review. Derma One is Imedeen’s supplement aimed at over 25 year olds. The next supplement up is the Time Perfection for over 35 year olds, which contains similar ingredients but also LycoPhengeGS Forte- derived from tomato and grape seed, both fantastic sources of antioxidants. I quite fancy trying that one too.

I like the idea of a skincare supplement. It’s so easy isn’t it? I try to eat well and all that but I’m so far from Gwyneth Paltrow’s macrobiotic vegan standards. Read- I like a pizza but I have a green salad on the side. My diet is likely missing some esoteric micro ingredients, but I’m doing my best. Fingers crossed that two small vitamin tablets a day can work some sort of magic.

Imedeen has this to say for it’s skincare supplement-

• From around the age of 25 years old, the collagen levels in the skin start reducing and skin appears less plump
• Derma One can help maintain the skin’s moisture balance and increase radiance
• Two tablets should be taken daily for at least 12 weeks to obtain a visible result
• Ingredients- 210mg Marine Complex, 60mg Vitamin C, 4 mg Zinc
• £36.99 for 60 tablets from Boots.com

I found several studies on Imedeen supplements to help me aid my conclusions about the supplement. Because, really, one person’s experience is not a great benchmark to make purchasing decisions on. I could write reams on the different studies but I’ll summarise for you. There were numerous randomised double blind controlled trials (i.e. the best sort) with hundreds of participants, they tested Imedeen over the course of 3 months to a year- so they really gave it a good thorough check. Here is an example of one such study that’s available to read over the internet if you’re interested.

The meta analysis of the research as a whole (which means the statistical analysis of several studies together) showed that there is good evidence that Imedeen had a positive effect on skin appearance. From the evidence, it looks like 3 months is the absolute minimum period of time for the product to work, some studies only showed benefits after a year. There were a lot of positive reports about Imedeen’s effect on hyperpigmentation and some evidence that it increases skin thickness. There was less evidence that Imedeen helped with skin moisture.

Imedeen Derma One Beauty Supplement Review

My own experience is as follows. The packaging for Imedeen Derma One is really nice quality, which isn’t the most important thing in the world but it’s a nice touch. It feels like a quality item.

The tablets are small and easy going on the throat. No giant horse pills tripping the old gag reflex. They do have a slight fishy taste as you might expect because it contains marine extract. It’s as easy as pie, swallowing two small pills with breakfast. I had no side effects throughout the three months, no bad stomach or anything like that.

It’s hard to say whether I noticed much change in the luminosity and radiance of my skin. My skin wasn’t particularly dry during the trial. I am lucky enough to not suffer with dry skin, it’s more oily and acne prone. My acne has been pretty bad recently but I believe that is more to do with my hormones than anything else.

My husband has been commenting recently on how fresh faced I’m looking and as usual, I dismissed his remarks. But maybe there’s something to it. It was only after reading the studies than it occurred to me that the Imedeen Derma One supplements could be helping with my hyperpigmentation. I have moderate melasma that only gets worse with sun exposure. Recently I have noticed the melasma is hardly visible.

Imedeen Derma One Review- Before and After Pictures

I’ve taken some before and after pictures of my trial with Imedeen. As always, I try to get the same angle an lighting which can be surprisingly tricky. I think you can definitely see differences.

I think there are less under eye lines in the after photos, the effect is subtle but definitely there is something.

The difference in these two pictures is really obvious. There is much less dark mottling in the after picture. The before pic was taken in the summer so the pigmentation could have been worse because of UV exposure. I hunted for a side picture from last January to see the difference-

I think you can see a difference in the mottling on the side of the cheek. I never get why my face has completely different skin tone in different pictures. I always stand in the same spot by the same window to take pictures. It must be the changes in sunlight and cloud cover. I took a forehead shot as well to see if that had changed-

Again the brown pigmentation towards the side seems level dense. I am sure my complexion looks brighter in tone and I think my pigmentation has reduced. The photos really help show the changes, which I’m not sure I would have noticed otherwise.

I would really like to continue trying out Imedeen. I think I’d upgrade to Time Perfection and keep it going for up to year to see if a longer trial had even better results because based on the photos it does look promising. My experience with Imedeen Derma One is subtly positive, definitely recommend if the price isn’t an issue for you.

Thanks for reading, hope you’re not appalled by super close up photos of a bare face. I think it’s important to show the real pictures so you can really see there is nothing fake about what I’m telling you.
