REVIEW: Dermacept RX

Back with another skin care review, now I would like to share to you about Dermacept RX. Have you ever heard about it? As for me, I've heard about it around 1-2 years ago from Japan Beauty Week exhibition. It's a dermaceutical brand from Rohto (now you know it, right?).

Dermacept RX is "Japan Dermatology Concept" cosmeceutical brand from Rohto where you can pursuit your beautiful skin secret with Dermatology Concept. Dermacept RX is available only under dermatologist prescription.

Dermacept RX Foaming Wash

First step in basic skin care is of course the washing (assuming your face is already cleansed from makeup residues). It comes in two types of packaging; 100 ml and 160 ml. The 100 ml is perfect for traveling since the pump is easier to be carried anywhere and put in your bag. 

Dermacept RX Foaming Wash has nano particle foam which is ultra smooth. It feels ultra soft to my skin. It just feels so good~

And moreover, I love the foam packaging because I don't have to create bubble foam by my own using foam net. 

More good news is that this foaming wash has SOAP Free Formula. Dermacept RX uses amino acid-based surfactant which is gentle for our skin. The result is soft and smooth skin after washing your face! You also don't have to worry if you have sensitive skin because it can be used for allergic and irritated skin since it has balanced pH.

I am currently using this Vitamin C 10% to start with. After a Q&A session with Dermacept RX representatives, they said that it's best to start with the lower concentration in order to avoid the irritation due to skin sensitivity. After using the 10%, we can adjust the concentration by moving on to use the higher concentration Vitamin C (15%).

Dermacept RX VC Concentrate Vitamin C 15%

Consult your dermatologist to determine the most suitable Vitamin C level and direction.

Direction:

Lightly squeeze 3-4 drops (for entire face) onto palm and gently apply with fingertips especially to dark areas. Apply in the morning and night after washing face and toning.

As seen above, Dermacept RX Vitamin C Serum contains pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) which is developed under "Japan Dermatology Concept." It delivers its promise as I feel that the serum is absorbed fast and also doesn't leave any sticky feeling.

But you have to be extra careful as the packaging is made from glass and you have to keep it in cool temperature and avoid direct sunlight.

Dermacept RX Moisturising Milk

Best formulation ratio Glycerin, Lecithin and Petrolatum to protect and recovering natural skin barrier function throughout the day. Produced with High-Pressure Emulsified Petrolatum (HPEP) technology for deeply skin penetration and long lasting emollient effect. Ideal to dry skin, redness dermatitis, itchy xerosis and post-procedure treatment like superficial peel, microdermabrasion or non-ablative laser treatments.

•Free of fragrance

•Free coloring agent

•Free alcohol

Direction:

Apply directly on the skin after washing.

The packaging is quite big for a moisturizer. The design is clean and simple with conventional cap to use the product. I slightly dislike the cap because sometimes it was a mess when I want to pour the product to my hand. The moisturizer texture is runny so sometimes it spills out. :(

[TEXTURE]

The texture of the moisturizer is quite runny almost liquid. Since it's milk moisturizer, I just love that it is absorbed fast by my skin, no sticky feeling! So I don't have to spend longer time to prepare before going to work and start applying my makeup.

But do not underestimate this moisturizer because it does moisturize my skin even better that I expected!

Dermacept RX Moisturising Sunscreen

Water base sunscreen formula for daily activities : SPF 30 ; PA+++. Contain additional moisturizer and giving maximum UV A and UV B protection because of Micro-Sized Encapsulated UV Absorber Technology. Can be used for all skin type without irritate and clogging skin pore.

Direction:

Apply liberally to UV exposed areas before sun exposure. Repeat regularly to ensure maximum sun protection.

This sunscreen has SPF 30 and PA+++ which can protect our skin from UVA and UVB damage. It contains no fragrance, colorant, mineral-oil, PABA, and alcohol. Yes, it means that Dermacept RX Moisturising Sunscreen has low irritation and perfect for all skin types.

If you're still hesitant to try this sunscreen because you're under dermatologist treatment, don't worry! This sunscreen is designed to be used together with other product/ skin treatment tools and can be used by sensitive and acne-prone skin.

It has oil in water formula, which is perfect for sunscreen texture because it will not be sticky and lightweight. It's also easier to be cleansed and noncomedogenic, that's why it's perfect for daily use.

Sorry if the picture is a bit blurry, but in real life my left and right hand looks significantly different after only 8 hours!

[AFTER 2 WEEKS]

If you notice I have tired looking eyes on my after 1 week picture. I took the picture right after I woke up after a long night of staying awake, LOL.

But the whole complexion gets better after 2 weeks of using Dermacept RX whole range of skin care products. My complexion is fairer and acne & dark spots is fading (especially on my chin).

In conclusion, I really love Dermacept RX because it delivers its promises; improve my skin (smoothness, tone, and pores) and fade out dark spots.

But, it will be better if they can improve on packaging design, like having air pump packaging for moisturizer and sunscreen so it will be more convenient and hygienic to use with.
