Manufactured by PureTek, Dermectin is made exclusively for middle aged women. And of course they supposedly make only “outstanding pharmaceutical, nutritional and personal care products.” Their categories of products include wrinkle care, sun care, facial care, and scar care. They abstain from selling through their main website. But their active ingredient is a peptide complex. They call their products hypoallergenic, because most do not have allergies to the ingredients.

Product Details:
The official website does not provide a full ingredients list. But on a third party website, we found a claim that they use this mix in one of their products: Active ingredients: collagen, Polysaccharides and Glycosaminoglycans Inactive ingredients: Water, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG 100 Stearate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Sorbitan Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butylene Glycol, Butyrospermum Parkli (Shea Butter Fruit), Mangifera Indica (Mango Seed Butter), Glycerol Polymethacrylate, Propylene Glycol, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Mentha Peperita (Peppermint Oil), Algae Extract, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi (Bearberry) Leaf Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Glucosamine Sulfate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Hyrolyzed Wheat Protein, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamine A Palmitate), Propylene Glycol, Water, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Foeniculim Vulgare (Fennel) Extract, Lavandula Angustifolie (Lavender) Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Extract, Rosa Canina (Rose) Flower Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Sambucus Nigra (Elder) Flower Extract, AchillaNillefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Tocopheryl Acectate (Vitamin E Acetate), Urea, Xanthan Gum, Yeast Extract, Triethanolamine, Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylparben, Porpylparaben, Sodium Benzoate, Caramel, Yallow 5.
Out of the active ingredients, only collagen actually contributes to the reduction of the common signs of aging. Most of the other ingredients are moisturizers, preservatives, and fillers. But they do not name the main ingredients in the generalized ingredients list, which would give us an idea of where they stand on quantities. Something we found interesting however, they named one of the few ingredients that really contributes to the reduction of wrinkles, palmitoyl oligopeptide, as an inactive ingredient.
Overall Impression of Dermectin:
According to what we’ve seen, either the makers of Dermectin understand little to nothing about wrinkle care or they just don’t care. We’re not particularly sure about which one it is, but neither is a good sign. Depending on which product you buy from Dermectin, it can range from a reasonable price for what you’re getting to a ridiculous price for what you should expect. So we recommend buying with caution and most likely not buying at all.
