Face Serums

Dermina Face Serums for Every Skin Concern

Your cleanser washes the day off. Your moisturizer keeps things soft. But when it comes to that stubborn mark from last month’s pimple or skin that feels stretched and dry by 4 pm, neither of them can do much. You need something more focused. That’s really what a face serum is for.

A serum is light, almost like water, with a higher dose of one or two actives. At Dermina – Intelligent Skincare, we decided each serum should do one job properly. So every Dermina Face Serum has a clear purpose.

Understanding Face Serums, Key Ingredients, and Uses

Cleanse, tone, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning. A skincare serum (or any skin serum, really) goes before your cream because it’s thinner, so it absorbs first.

Now the ingredients, in plain words.

Vitamin C is the one for dull, uneven skin. A good vitamin C serum brightens over time and gives some antioxidant cover against pollution, which is why most people use it in the morning under sunscreen.

Niacinamide (you might see it called Vitamin B3) is the calm, steady one. A niacinamide serum helps with oil, open pores and redness, and most skin types get along with it.

Hyaluronic acid holds onto water. If your skin feels tight after washing, a hyaluronic acid serum is usually the first thing to try.

Retinol speeds up how fast your skin renews itself. It’s what people reach for when they start noticing fine lines or old acne marks that just won’t fade. Night only, and sunscreen the next day is a must.

Then there’s Vitamin E for nourishment and peptides, which support firmness as skin starts to lose a bit of its bounce.

And just so it’s said: a face serum for women works exactly the same for men. Skin is skin.

Best-Selling Face Serums By Dermina

Vitamin C 15% Serum

If your skin looks a bit flat lately, start here. It has 15% vitamin C in a stable form, plus niacinamide, ferulic acid, vitamin E, and a little centella to keep things calm. It helps bring back that fresh look, evens out tone over a few weeks and protects against daily pollution. This brightening face serum goes on in the morning, followed by sunscreen, and it suits oily and acne-prone skin too.

Niacinamide 10% Serum

For the person whose forehead shines by lunch. This niacinamide serum pairs 10% niacinamide with hyaluronic acid, Centella asiatica, allantoin, and acetyl glucosamine. It keeps oil in check, makes pores look smaller, and settles redness, all without drying you out. A dependable face serum for oily skin, and gentle enough if you’re on the sensitive side. Use 2 to 3 drops, morning and night.

Hyaluronic Acid 2% Serum

You know that tight feeling after washing your face? This is the fix. It’s a hydrating face serum with 2% hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, copper peptides, niacinamide, green tea, and witch hazel. Pat a drop or two onto damp skin, then moisturize. Skin feels softer and looks plumper, and it’s light enough to be an everyday face serum for dry skin without any heaviness.

Retinol 0.1% Face Serum

A gentle starting point if you’re new to retinol. Along with 0.1% retinol, it has bakuchiol, 1% niacinamide, lactobionic acid, aloe vera, and licorice root. It helps fade old marks and sun spots, softens fine lines, and keeps pores clearer. Use a pea-sized amount at night, two or three times a week to begin with, and don’t skip sunscreen the next morning.

Vitamin E Face Serum

An overnight vitamin E face serum for skin that feels rough, dry, or worn out. Powered by vitamin E, squalane, and nourishing jojoba, sweet almond, olive, and sunflower oils, it deeply nourishes dry skin while helping support the skin barrier and lock in moisture. Wake up to softer, smoother, more supple-looking skin with a healthy, refreshed glow 

Age-Less Face Serum

Our most advanced formula, made for fine lines and skin that’s lost some firmness. It has a 5.4% Advanced Peptide Complex, 7D Hyaluronic Acid, Viniferin, Niacinamide, and Centella. Use 2 to 3 drops every night before moisturizer for smoother, firmer-looking skin over time.
