Fatal and Fictional Anti-Aging Ingredients

Anti-aging skin care has become so advanced in recent years, but some of the best skin care brands seem to have stepped back in time (and away from reality), with ingredients like “Dragon’s blood” and “Snake venom” on their labels.

Understanding Skin Care Ingredients: Vitamin C

As part of my aging skin care regimen, I make sure to get my daily dose of antioxidants by applying a topical vitamin C skin care treatment every day. It’s a simple thing to do, and it makes such a big difference in the appearance of my skin.

Tips to Stop Picking On Your Skin

At the request of one of our readers, I decided it was time to discuss the whole “picking problem” that many of us have with our skin. We often think of picking related to how to prevent acne, but picking also causes a host of other skin problems.

DermStore’s 10th Anniversary – Our Favorite Ingredient

With so many fantastic and effective skin care ingredients from which to choose, it was tough to select only one to be DermStore’s favorite ingredient.
