There are actually two products you might be referring to:
1. DermaPrime (by Dermaquest):
This is a topical product, likely a cleanser or prep solution, used in professional skincare treatments. It’s intended for use by trained professionals and might not be readily available for consumers.
2. Derma Prime Plus (dietary supplement):
This is a more common product you’ll find online. It’s an oral supplement marketed for improving skin health. Here’s a breakdown of what to know about Derma Prime Plus:
- Ingredients: The key ingredients include Tribulus Terrestris, Maca Root Extract, Saw Palmetto, Ashwagandha, Horny Goat Weed, Zinc Oxide, and some fillers like Microcrystalline Cellulose.
- Claims: Derma Prime Plus claims to detoxify the body, improve skin health, and potentially reduce signs of aging.
- Evidence: There is limited scientific evidence to support these claims directly for skin health.
- Safety: While the ingredients are generally considered safe for most people, there can be interactions with medications or potential side effects.
Here are some things to consider before trying Derma Prime Plus:
- Limited evidence for skin health: The focus of ingredients might be more on hormonal effects than directly impacting skin.
- Potential side effects: It’s best to talk to your doctor before taking any new supplements, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or take medications.
- Regulation: The FDA does not approve supplements for their effectiveness, only for safety.
Alternatives: There are many ways to improve skin health, including a healthy diet, staying hydrated, using a good sunscreen, and a consistent skincare routine. Consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice is always recommended.
