I get giddy with excitement when Dermalogica introduces a new product. I have never been disappointed by a Dermalogica. Never. My favourites include Pre-Cleanse, Skin Smoothing Cream and new Sound Sleep Cocoon. But I digress… desperate for brighter, tighter skin? Then the Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum is the product you need.

Brighter skin thanks to Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum

A high-performance Vitamin C serum that works with skin’s own defenses to brighten and firm. Advanced bio-technology fuses ultra-stable Vitamin C and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, helping to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Formulated with advanced technology to deliver more Vitamin C into skin. This superior formula outperforms other Vitamin C products (including those formulated at higher concentrations). Other key ingredients include Vitamin C Complex for brighter, firmer, more radiant skin, Lactic Acid to accelerate cell turnover, Sophora Japonica Flower Extract to help return skin to a calm state after experiencing oxidative stress, and Salvia Hispanica (Chia Seed) Oil to hydrate and help quench free radicals.

Dermalogica claims that this serum has the following benefits:

It exfoliates and reduces unbalanced pigmentation.
It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It prevents and corrects free radical damage.

I have been using the Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum morning and evening for the past 6 weeks. This product is an absolute treat to apply. The fresh, citrus scent is fantastic and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.

I am blown away by the results! This serum is by far the most effective Dermalogica product I have ever used. My skin is bright and radiant and the pigmentation spots on my forehead are fading. I can’t be more thrilled.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum is a Vitamin C powerhouse!

I realise that this serum doesn’t come cheap at R1 495, but you most definitely get what you pay for. I am in awe of this product. And my luminous skin!

PSA – Dermalogica launched a professional-grade at-home peel and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Read more about the Rapid Reveal Peel on their website.

I was invited to experience a Biomedical Emporium facial peel by the kind people of Tosca Hair & Beauty in July and I am so glad they did. I have been using Biomedical Emporium skin care products for the last couple of weeks and I am amazed with the results. AMAZED. I’ll tell you more about the products I’m using, as well as their treatments, and how my skin is responding at a later stage; for now I want to share more info on the brand itself.

Brand Focus: Biomedical Emporium

Who is Biomedical Emporium?

Our passion derives from proven dermatology products that have a real impact on skin and health. Extensive research and development by Dr Judey as well as the Department of Human Biology at the University of Cape Town has led to incorporate the first and very unique tertiary structure tissue-protective peptide technology, that promotes advanced cellular turn-over rates as well optimal skin densification and dermal hydration.

Intrinsic and extrinsic environmental factors are taken into consideration during the formulation of all cosmeceutical products. Some products are formulated specificaly based on the client’s or patient geographical location as skin oxidation rates differs from area to area.

How is this science applicable today? What do we have to do to obtain skin cell harmony?

We need products that will address all the mechanisms of aging – a product of a “cosmeceutical” nature. In other words applying a product that works on cellular and molecular level in order to be potently effective and safe and to ultimately stimulate a therapeutic response.

Biomedical Emporium Products

The respective Biomedical Skin care ranges were developed within the discipline of Biotechnology by Dr Judey Pretorius.

The Biomedical Emporium is a leading South African company that primarily focus on the design, development, manufacturing and distribution of Biomedical products for the Pharmaceutical Industry, the Medical Device Industry as well as the Cosmeceutical Industry.

The Biomedical skin care range comprises of maximum amounts of active ingredients, at optimal concentrations that work synergistically and holistically on a molecular level to promote a therapeutic response.

All products undergo strict accredited quality control testing for product safety, quality and efficacy. NO products are tested on animals.

Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetics: Understanding the difference

Biomedical Emporium cosmeceutical skin care products, are formulated by the highest expertise of Scientists, that utilise quality pharmaceutical grade raw materials in all formulations and the incorporation of the tertiary tissue protective peptide technology. This will ensure that medicinal benefits will be obtained once applied to the skin.

COSMECEUTICAL PRODUCTS – Cosmeceutical products are used to improve and enhance the skin’s appearance, by using biologically active ingredients. This group of products work on cellular and molecular level in order to be potently effective and safe.

COSMETIC PRODUCTS – Cosmetic products are for the purpose of beauty or style, such products merely cover the skin. Cosmetics can keep the skin moisturised and clean, but not much more than that.
