"I'm an active outdoorsman – bikes, motorcycles, surfing, skiing – anything that's hard on the skin, I'm in. A friend turned me on to Dermagenics and I can't believe the difference in my skin. Roughness and wrinkles gone, my skin feels smoother and my face has a new glow. My girlfriend says I look 10 years younger. I'm sold!" S.R., CA

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEN'S SKIN

Men's pores are larger than women's, speeding dehydration and absorption of airborne pollutants.

Men's skin is damaged by sun exposure and environmental pollutants much faster than women's skin.

Men's collagen levels drop dramatically after 30, causing skin to sag, lose elasticity and form wrinkles.

Shaving destroys the protective layer on the skin's surface, causing raw, dry, and rough skin after that initial post-shave smoothness wears off.

SO NOW WHAT?

Something's gotta give. You love your lifestyle, but your lifestyle hasn't loved your face. Or maybe it's just time and gravity working against it. Whether you've spent too much time in the sun, abused your skin, or just ignored it, you can still do something to turn it around.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE

Don't stop doing what you love. Start doing something good for your face. The sooner the better. The steps to healthy skin are simple: cleanse, nourish and protect. You don't need a bunch of products or a lot of time to make your skin look great.

THE PITCH

Dermagenics Mega-Hydrating Anti Aging Cream is specifically formulated for men. It's powerful and effective ingredients heal skin quickly, without toxins, dyes or fragrances. It dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes large pores, reduces under-eye puffiness and dark circles, and lifts sagging eyelids. It promotes a firmer, more toned look and feel, while brightening the skin and generating a radiant glow. We formulated Men's Dermagenics to be strong enough to be effective for the face and neck, yet gentle enough for the more sensitive under eye area.

SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE

We set out to make the best men's all-in-one anti aging moisturizer on the market. And we succeeded. Our advanced peptide repair formula stimulates protein synthesis and collagen production, plunging into all layers of the skin, where it hydrates, protects, and rejuvenates skin to optimal health and appearance.

Dermagenics products are formulated and manufactured in an Organic Certified, FDA Registered pharmaceutical laboratory in the USA. We utilize cutting edge technology, and use only the purest and highest quality ingredients. The combination of these ingredients radically reverses the signs of aging in as little as 30 days. The key ingredients in our Mega-Hydrating Anti Aging Cream include:

Peptides - reduce the signs of aging by increasing collagen production, thereby making the skin thicker and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Artemia Extract - a bioenergetic ingredient extracted from marine plankton. It activates cell functions, as well as protects the DNA from UV-B.

Sodium Hyaluronate (hyaluranic acic) - a component of connective tissue whose function is to cushion and lubricate. It plays an integral role in maintaining and regulating moisture within the tissues, facilitates the transport of nutrients into the cells, and removes metabolic waste.

Jojoba Oil – softens the skin as it forms a lipid layer on the skin, acting as a moisturizer, as well as penetrating and being absorbed by the outer layer of skin.

Green Tea – well known as an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and antioxidant.

Vitamin C – antioxidant that promotes tissue growth and repair, helps the growth of connective tissue, and is integral in the synthesis of collagen.

Squalane – a plant derived ingredient that helps to keep moisture from escaping while helping skin maintain its supple appearance. It not only provides hydration, but it can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, due to its antioxidant properties.

Toxins and irritants you won't find in any of our products (but will find everywhere else), include: alpha hydroxys, glycolic acids, formaldehyde, phthalates, mineral oils, drying alcohol, PABA, dyes and fragrances.

Why Ingredients Matter

WE ARE WHAT WE PUT ON OUR SKIN.

Our skin absorbs 60% of whatever is applied to it, in the form of water, vapor, airborne pollutants, toxins, dust and dirt. We need to be very careful what is applied to our skin.

Because the skin absorbs from the surface into the deeper more sensitive tissues, you must avoid exposure to toxic, damaging substances which harm the skin as well as predispose us to pre-cancerous conditions. The goal is to nourish and protect the skin with natural, biologically active ingredients to support healthy skin and reduce the damage caused by a harsh environment.

SKIN RELEASES TOXINS.

Skin also serves as a release of waste in the form of sweat and odor. So what we put into our body also is released through our pores as a way for the body to detoxify itself. Applying topical lotions, sunscreens, and other products that clog pores can actually inhibit the body’s ability to purge toxins.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS!

Industrial chemicals are basic ingredients in nonorganic skin care products. Many inexpensive, over-the-counter skincare products contain carcinogens, hormonal mimickers, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticizers, degreasers, and surfactants.

NO FDA STANDARDS FOR COSMETICS.

There currently exists no safety testing for skin care and cosmetics in the US. Essentially, the industry is left to police itself. The long term effects of hidden ingredients pose a health hazard that is difficult to trace. In 2009, the Mount Sinai Children’s Environmental Health Study published findings a linking plasticizers called phthalates and low birth weight of newborn babies . Because of these findings, they named fragrance as a possible culprit.

WHAT FRAGRANCES HIDE.

Because fragrances are considered trade secrets, the FDA does not require a listing of their ingredients. When a company wants or feels the need to include toxic ingredients in products, they can do so by including it in the “fragrances”. Why is this flagrant violation of FDA guidelines allowed? Powerful lobbyists have convinced lawmakers that if cosmetic and perfume manufactures fragrance ingredients were made public, it would diminish their competitive advantage. Thus, they are classified as trade secrets and no monitoring is done and manufacturers are allowed to include anything they want into the fragrance formula. Using this legal loophole, toxins like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, alcohol, oils and waxes may be included without the consumer’s knowledge.

NATURAL INGREDIENTS?

Many skin care products list a host of natural vitamins, plants, vegetable oils and flowers that sound wonderfully healthy, but are of limited value. Most naturally occurring oils require massive amounts of alcohols to thin to a usable solution, thus accelerating dehydration and irritation and thus defeating any perceived benefit. Vitamin E is a great anti-oxidant, but only if ingested. Eating organic food is a great way to get maximum effect of nutrients for a healthy lifestyle, but the same benefit does not apply for skin care product ingredients. In the case of skin care products, synthetic is almost always better when high quality, powerful ingredients are combined with cutting edge formulation techniques.

INGREDIENTS MATTER!

When it comes to ingredients, less is more. Dermagenics contains only safe, pure and effective ingredients, and only what is needed to deliver effective results.

POWERFUL INGREDIENTS = POWERFUL RESULTS

Listed below are universally-acknowledged as the most powerful anti-aging ingredients currently known, by anti-aging physicians and formulating biochemists. Many premium skin care products have some of these. Dermagenics contains all of them.

PEPTIDES Peptides stimulate extracellular matrix synthesis, particularly collagen and elastin. Collagen regeneration is skin renewal. Elastin production gives the skin a supple, smooth and flexible texture. Dermagenics uses patented Hexapeptide-9, an advanced chain of nine amino acids. Regarded as the most advanced peptide available, this powerful amino acid group accelerates the production of healthy cell regeneration and is instrumental in reversing the effects of aging skin. However, it only works when delivered to the epidermal/dermal junction. It has limited topical value.

ARTEMIA EXTRACT Derived from marine plankton, Artemia Extract acts as a cell energizer. Working in concert with peptides, it energizers and intensifies protein synthesis and stimulates production of collagen and elastin. Artemia Extract is the catalyst for unlocking peptides effectiveness and is an essential ingredient in transdermal penetration technology.

SODIUM HYALURONATE (Hyaluronic Acid) Sodium Hyaluronate holds 500 times it’s weight in water. When delivered to the dermal/epidermal layer, the accumulation of hydration actually pushes wrinkles outward, relieving the stress of the skin crease caused by wrinkles and allowing a more relaxed, youthful skin tone. It also collects moisture from the air and to continually hydrate the skin throughout the day, keeping skin healthy and supple.

SQUALANE Derived from a plant source, Squalane nourish the skin by maintaining the balance of moisture and nutrients. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, helping skin to maintain its supple appearance.

ALLANTOIN is a superior anti-inflamatory and anti-irritant. It helps skin heal quickly and helps bind moisture to the skin. Exceptionally regenerative for burns, wounds and scars.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS serve as an energy source and are a building block of cell membrane regeneration.

JOJOBA Jojoba is a natural emollient that softens the skin’s surface. It is an all-natural ingredient that is effective in transforming dry, damaged and rough skin at the top, or cornified, layer of the skin.

GREEN TEA An exceptional anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-oxidant, Green Tea is vital to the regeneration of damaged skin, especially skin damaged by radiation, chemotherapy and surgical procedures. It gives skin a healthy glow and improves appearance.

VITAMIN C A powerful anti-oxidant, Vitamin C promotes growth of connective tissue and is integral in the synthesis of collagen. It is vital in the reduction of scarring.

GLYCERIN attracts airborne moisture to the skin.

SODIUM PCA enhances skins’ moisture binding capacity.

Men's Skin Care Guide

Many different factors affect men’s skin, and put the aging process on fast-forward, including:

• Biological factors: testosterone levels, genetically larger pores, facial hair
• Environmental factors: prolonged sun exposure, wind, climate, exposure to chemicals
• Lifestyle factors: extreme sports, working with heavy machinery, physical labor

FACT: Men’s skin ages at a faster rate than women’s skin

HERE’S WHY

1. Men Have Larger Pores Than Women
Large pores have the ability to take in more toxins and cause damage. For this reason, men’s products need to be more adept at unclogging pores and dealing with blackheads, blemishes and acne. Larger pores also means, more sweat glands, and more production of sweat.

Skin with larger pores accelerates dehydration and makes the skin more vulnerable to the damaging effects of the sun, wind, and environmental toxins. Long-term dehydration leads to wrinkles and sagging.

2. Shaving Degrades Skin Quality
The daily shaving ritual of dragging a razor against the skin’s surface aggravates the skin, destroying the hydrolytic film on the skin’s surface, creating scar tissue and increasing dryness.

3. Men’s Skin Ages Differently
Men have an early advantage in the aging game: their skin is thicker and oilier. While women lose elasticity as early as their late twenties and gradually thereon, men’s skin ages later in life with more dramatic results. Around the age of 40 or 50, men’s collagen levels drop dramatically and deep wrinkles start to appear.

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL SKIN

FIND SHADE

Stay out of the sun between 10 and 4. If out in the sun, don’t forget DERMAGENICS Sunscreen.

DON’T SMOKE

Smoking makes your skin look older, gray and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outer layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are vital to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin.

HYDRATE

Drink plenty of water. It’s the most important way to keep your skin hydrated from the inside. Purified water without carbonation will give you the best results. Keep in mind that alcohol dehydrates the body (and skin), so try to avoid it in excess.

SLEEP

There’s a reason they call it “beauty sleep”. The skin corrects itself and rests as you get your zzz’s. You should aim for at least 8 hours a night.

EAT WELL

A healthy glow caused by good nutrition is something that no makeup or cosmetic will ever be able to mimic. Limit your intake of processed foods, and stick to fresh (organic if possible) produce, lean proteins, and whole-grains. Taking a daily vitamin is also a great idea.

KEEP IT CLEAN

Using DERMAGENICS cleanser, wash skin with lukewarm water, as it is closest to the body’s temperature. Hot water opens pores and washes away skin’s own oils. Cold water closes the pores and makes it hard to clean the skin effectively. We recommend 2x per day, morning and night, followed by DERMAGENICS moisturizing cream.

BE GENTLE

Hot water and long baths dry out skin. Shave carefully, and pat your skin dry after washing.

MANAGE STRESS

A stressful state of mind comes out in pores in the form of a breakout. Set reasonable time limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. Consider incorporating deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or anything else that makes you feel relaxed, into your daily routine.

ADD MOISTURE

Use DERMAGENICS anti-aging cream to moisturize, as it will saturate all layers of the skin by using key ingredients such as: hyaluronic acid, protein activating peptides, and age-reversing antioxidants.

THE GOOD NEWS

Due to the advantage of having larger pores, men’s skin can absorb DERMAGENICS Men’s Anti-Aging Cream quickly, reaping the benefits to produce a youthfully moisturized skin texture. With daily use, a powerhouse of natural ingredients will consistently quench skin’s thirst and provide skin nutrition while dramatically reducing many of the surface signs of aging. DERMAGENICS Mega-Hydrating Men’s Anti-Aging Cream actually stimulates collagen production, thereby beefing-up thinning skin, healing the scar tissue from shaving, and decreasing wrinkles.

THE NEED FOR SPEED

Knowing the absorption process of the skin is going to be increased for men, DERMAGENICS works fast to shrink men’s pores, to protect, moisturize and maintain men’s skin. This top-of-the-line technologically and environmentally enhanced cocktail is unique because it is designed for a man’s need for speed.
