Vivant Derm-A-Renew

Gentle Retinoid & Peptide Serum for Fine Lines, Uneven Skin Tone, Dark Spots & Early Signs of Aging

Introduce your skin to the benefits of vitamin A with Vivant Derm-A-Renew, an advanced yet gentle retinoid and peptide serum formulated to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and early signs of aging.

Featuring Vivant's proprietary REt (RP)™ retinoid technology alongside targeted peptides, niacinamide, kojic acid dipalmitate, and lactic acid, this multifunctional formula helps promote a smoother, firmer, and more luminous-looking complexion while supporting hydration and skin comfort.

Unlike more intensive retinoid treatments, Derm-A-Renew is designed for patients beginning a vitamin A regimen or those who prefer a more gradual approach to skin renewal.

Its alcohol-free formula makes it an appealing option for dry, normal, combination, and selected sensitive or redness-prone skin types.

Whether your concerns include early fine lines, uneven tone, post-acne marks, or dullness, Derm-A-Renew offers a comprehensive nighttime treatment that combines visible skin refinement with peptide-supported hydration.

Key Ingredients

REt (RP)™ Retinoid — Retinyl Propionate

Vivant's proprietary vitamin A technology uses retinyl propionate, a retinoid ester, to support skin renewal and improve the appearance of fine lines, rough texture, and uneven tone.

Retinyl propionate is distinct from prescription tretinoin and should not be considered clinically equivalent in potency or evidence.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Signal peptides used in cosmetic formulations to support smoother, firmer-looking skin and improve the appearance of fine lines.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Helps support skin barrier function, improve uneven skin tone, and reduce the appearance of redness. Niacinamide can also support a more balanced-looking complexion.

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate

A stabilized derivative of kojic acid used to help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dark spots.

Lactic Acid

An alpha hydroxy acid with exfoliating and humectant properties that helps improve skin texture, softness, and radiance.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide & Chrysin

Skin-conditioning ingredients commonly incorporated into peptide complexes targeting the appearance of aging and uneven skin tone.

Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate & Urea

Moisture-binding ingredients that help maintain hydration and improve skin comfort.

How to Use

PM | Corrective Serum Step

After cleansing, allow skin to dry. Shake Derm-A-Renew well before use.

Apply a thin, even layer to the face, neck, or chest, avoiding the eyelids, lips, and irritated areas.

Allow the serum to absorb fully before applying a moisturizer.

Recommended Introduction:

• Weeks 1–2: Apply every other evening.

• Week 3 onward: Increase to nightly use if well tolerated.

• If Dryness Occurs: Reduce frequency and support skin hydration.

• If Significant Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use until assessed.

Vivant recommends applying the product over the entire treatment area rather than using it as an isolated spot treatment.

Morning Care: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Patients managing melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may benefit from tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides.

Amare Clinical Tip: Derm-A-Renew is an excellent option when a patient's primary concerns include early visible aging and uneven tone, but their skin may not tolerate an aggressive retinoid regimen.

For skin of color, the goal is consistent correction without unnecessary inflammation. Excessive dryness, peeling, or irritation can contribute to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Derm-A-Renew may be particularly useful for patients transitioning from basic skincare into a structured corrective regimen.

Avoid introducing multiple exfoliating acids and retinoids simultaneously without individualized guidance.
