Vivant Skincare Derm-A-Renew

Gentle Retinoid, Peptide & Brightening Corrective Serum

The Vivant Skincare Derm-A-Renew is an advanced, alcohol-free Level 1 retinoid serum engineered to soften fine lines, enhance structural skin firmness, and fade persistent dark spots without triggering the harsh redness or peeling associated with standard Vitamin A formulas. Synergizing Vivant’s proprietary REt (RP)™ retinoid technology (Retinyl Propionate) with firming signal peptides, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, and Lactic Acid, this multi-corrective treatment accelerates epidermal renewal while reinforcing barrier hydration.

Designed specifically for dry, normal, combination, sensitive, and mature skin types beginning a corrective Vitamin A protocol, Derm-A-Renew offers a gradual, high-tolerance approach to age management and pigment correction. Excellent for menopausal skin experiencing estrogen-loss dullness, fine lines, and sensitive, reactive barriers—as well as deeper phototypes prone to post-inflammatory pigment rebound—it delivers smooth, radiant, and resilient skin.

Clinical Note: This is an introductory Level 1 retinoid and peptide combination formula. It is ideal for skin new to Vitamin A, sensitive skin types, or mature skin requiring barrier-calming age management.

Key Benefits

• Gentle Level 1 Retinoid Renewal: Features Retinyl Propionate to promote cellular turnover, smooth rough surface texture, and refine early fine lines.

• Peptide-Powered Firming Support: Incorporates Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 to support structural matrix elasticity and firmer-looking skin.

• Fades Dark Spots & Discoloration: Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, Niacinamide, and Lactic Acid target tyrosinase pathways to visibly diminish post-acne marks, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.

• Refines Texture & Radiance: Gently sweeps away dull, dead surface cells to reveal a luminous, polished, and refreshed complexion.

• Alcohol-Free & Deeply Hydrating: Formulated with Glycerin, Urea, Sodium PCA, and Sodium Lactate to maintain moisture retention and barrier comfort during retinoid acclimation.

• Exceptional Tolerability for Sensitive Phototypes: Minimizes thermal stress and inflammation, making it exceptionally safe for deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) and reactive mature skin.

Targeted Skin Types & Concerns

• Best For: Normal, Dry, Combination, Mature, Sensitive, and Redness-Prone skin types new to Vitamin A.

• Skin Concerns: Early signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles, loss of visible firmness, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), dark spots, dullness, rough skin texture, and menopausal skin dryness.

• Not Ideal For: Individuals who are pregnant or planning pregnancy, or those with severely compromised, actively weeping, or severely inflamed skin barriers.

Sensory Profile

• What You'll See: A visibly smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion with diminished fine lines, tighter-looking texture, and even tone over time.

• What You'll Feel: A velvety, hydrating liquid serum that absorbs effortlessly into the skin, leaving a soft, comfortable, non-greasy finish.

Key Active Ingredients & Science

• REt (RP)™ Retinoid (Retinyl Propionate): Vivant’s proprietary Vitamin A ester that converts efficiently within skin cells to promote cell renewal and collagen support with minimal surface irritation.

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Advanced signal peptides that communicate with fibroblasts to support collagen synthesis, matrix density, and skin elasticity.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Strengthens skin barrier lipids, calms surface redness, regulates oil balance, and inhibits melanosome transfer to surface cells.

• Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: A stable, lipid-soluble derivative of kojic acid that inhibits tyrosinase activity to fade stubborn dark spots cleanly.

• Lactic Acid: A gentle AHA with natural humectant properties that breaks down dead cell bonds while attracting hydration to the stratum corneum.

• Glycerin, Urea, Sodium PCA & Sodium Lactate: Biomimetic Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) components that lock water into the epidermis to prevent retinoid-induced dryness.

How to Use

PM | Corrective Serum Step (Step 3: Treatment)

Shake well before use. After cleansing and allowing skin to dry thoroughly, apply a thin, even layer over the face, neck, and décolleté, avoiding the delicate eyelids, lips, and nostrils. Allow the serum to absorb completely for 1 to 2 minutes before following with your evening moisturizer.

Recommended Acclimation Schedule:

• Weeks 1–2: Apply every other evening to build skin tolerance to Retinyl Propionate.

• Week 3+: Increase to nightly use as tolerated by your skin barrier.

• Step-Up Protocol: Once skin comfortably uses Derm-A-Renew nightly for 3 to 6 months without flaking or stinging, clients seeking higher retinoid activity can transition to Level 2 formulas under clinical guidance.

AM: Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher (such as Mesoprotech Light Water Antiaging Veil or Mineral Matt Fluid) is strictly required. For clients managing melasma or PIH, broad-spectrum tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides provides crucial visible-light protection.

Amare Clinical Tip: Derm-A-Renew is our top recommendation for patients who want to target early aging and uneven pigment simultaneously, but whose skin is too dry or reactive for traditional retinoids. In skin of color (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) or menopausal skin, excessive peeling or inflammation is counterproductive and triggers secondary post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Derm-A-Renew delivers controlled, quiet correction while keeping the skin barrier intact.

Important to Know

• Level 1 Retinoid & Peptide Treatment: Formulated for gentle introduction to Vitamin A.

• Pregnancy Warning: Do not use during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy. Consult your physician prior to use if breastfeeding.

• Acclimation Reactions: Mild dryness or light flaking may occur during initial weeks; marked redness, persistent burning, or heavy peeling are NOT treatment goals.

• Caution with Other Actives: Avoid layering simultaneously with strong Benzoyl Peroxide or high-concentration exfoliating acid treatments in the same evening routine unless guided by a clinician.

• Daily Photoprotection Essential: Retinoids increase photosensitivity. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ application is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Vivant Derm-A-Renew differ from Vivant Derm-A-Gel®?

While both are Level 1 introductory Retinyl Propionate serums, Derm-A-Renew includes firming signal peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate in a deeply hydrating, alcohol-free matrix. Derm-A-Renew is designed specifically for aging, dry, or sensitive skin, whereas Derm-A-Gel® focuses more heavily on acne-prone, oily skin types.

Can Vivant Derm-A-Renew be used for menopausal skin?

Yes. Perimenopause and menopause bring rapid collagen loss, fine lines, surface dryness, and hyperpigmentation. Derm-A-Renew combines retinoid cellular renewal with firming peptides and NMF humectants, addressing mature skin concerns without causing barrier stress.

Do I need a rich moisturizer over Derm-A-Renew?

Yes. While Derm-A-Renew contains moisture-binding ingredients like Glycerin and Urea, following with a barrier-repairing moisturizer (such as Vivant Allantoin Sedating & Hydrating Lotion) seals in active ingredients and prevents overnight trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
