I’ve said before that my mom, 52, is a makeup lover — but after my last visit home, when I discovered her turnstile beauty organizer filled with Drmtlgy skincare, I learned that she might be even more of a skincare fanatic.
My mom was a teenager in the ’80s, meaning sunscreen was an option and tanning oil was the norm. But despite years of suntanning and only recently developing an interest in skincare, my mom’s estheticians have been blown away by the appearance of her youthful, radiant skin since she started using three hero products from Drmtlgy.
This medical-grade skincare brand is known for its science-backed formulas, and my mom has been using Drmtlgy products for nearly five years. She’s even gotten her 50-something friends in on the brand, too.
The three products with which she’s seen the most significant change? The Needle-less Serum, Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask, and the Peptide Night Cream.
Drmtlgy Needle-less Serum, $66
One of the biggest game-changers in my mom’s routine comes in this little bottle of Needle-less Serum. This twice-a-day serum aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the mouth, forehead, and eye areas while also tightening and plumping mature skin, according to the brand.
The non-greasy formula contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides to firm, smooth, and hydrate the skin over time. Users see the best results when applying the serum morning and night, rubbing a few drops into the skin after cleansing and before moisturizing. Plus, it’s gentle enough to use during microneedling and is completely fragrance-free.
“I initially bought it to reduce the fine lines around my forehead, but after daily use, I noticed [that] my dark spots [and] hyperpigmentation started fading too,” one Amazon shopper wrote. They shared that they no longer plan to use Botox after trying the serum. “It’s by far the best serum I’ve ever used for fine lines,” they added.
Drmtlgy Peptide Night Cream, $40
The next step after the serum is a moisturizer, and my mom immediately called this one out as one of her top picks. According to the brand, this fragrance- and oil-free cream, like the Needle-less Serum, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with continuous use.
Its formula, a cocktail of hydrating and anti-aging ingredients, includes five peptides, three ceramides, vitamin E, and shea butter to promote healthier and softer skin. Because this is such a gentle moisturizer, users can apply it every night to lock in their firming serum (my mom does!) and give the skin an extra boost of hydration.
“If you double cleanse, tone, and apply your serums, this cream is the one to tie a sweet bow on your nighttime skin routine,” one commenter shared. “Fine lines are forced to calm down because of this cream.”
Drmtlgy Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask, $40
The Pumpkin Enzyme Face Mask is the last product my mom swears by for clearer skin. While the first two products are for daily use, this mask is one she uses less frequently — around two to three times a week for 10 minutes at a time. (Per the brand, one tub will last up to four months.)
This microdermabrasion mask contains lightly exfoliating and skin-replenishing ingredients like pumpkin enzymes, kaolin clay, vitamin E, and jojoba beads. These elements work together to shrink the appearance of pores, and cleanse, hydrate, and exfoliate the skin without overstripping. The mask itself is also self-warming. Basically, it’s a facial in a jar, according to my mom.
“I have oily skin with large pores… [and] this is the first product I have used that actually improved the look of smaller pores and smoother skin,” an Amazon shopper commented. “My skin has only improved with continued use.”
My mom swears by three products, but there’s more to behold on Drmtlgy’s Amazon shop. Check out more best-sellers below.
